    I'm thinking about making a short movie.

    What was the movie with the evil third gen Charger? The killer sabotages the previous winners car and they are killed on by one in the most horrible ways. Gasoline fires, car crushing the owner while under it. An unsecured hood detaches and decapitates the driver.

    I'm thinking about making a short movie.

    I was thinking about cheap car movies. Mix of video shot footage like The Blair Witch Project but more similar to Duel, Spielberg's first movie with Dennis Weaver. Basically a cross country car chase. Elements of Two Lane Blacktop thrown in. Cross-country muscle cars in a deadly chase across...

    Our teeny Black Forest, CO was in the news today.

    An early German explorer in Colorado thought the Black Forest here reminded him of the one in Germany. It's all Ponderosa Pines. Hardy any deciduous trees here. Some Aspens at lower elevations. ( I'm at 7,500' and I can grow both in my yard.) Once the Aspens take hold then it's hard to get rid...

    Our teeny Black Forest, CO was in the news today.

    It was certainly state-wide news, I don't know if the national news will pick it up. It seems two men were running from a federal three-letter agency and tried to ram them with their vehicle. Then got out and took some shots at them. I don't think they've been captured yet. Black Forest has...

    A little early for summer to be over.

    A high of 69 degrees today. It's just one of those weird Colorado summer days when you could use a jacket. I'm sure we still have some hot ones left. I'm not kidding though when I say if you want to escape the heat in the summer, come on by. The nice thing though it's never hot in the shade...

    My neigborhood is a mess.

    He looked kinda fat but maybe all raccoons look like that.

    My neigborhood is a mess.

    I just now went down to get something to drink and there was a raccoon sitting on that back porch step, where the coyote was. He was looking inside for a treat so I threw 3 slices of whole wheat bread for him. He just sat down and ate them. I had thrown some pie crusts out earlier today for...

    My neigborhood is a mess.

    I read the history of the Black Forest. They say the lumber for every house in Denver and all the rail road tracks came from cutting that forest 100 years ago. So that's all new from 100 years ago. I have some very tall conifers in my landscape that I planted 25 years ago. The best time to...

    Pearls of wisdom from your dad.

    If we were working on some family project like a deck and my brother and I would be arguing about how to go about it my dad would say, "Do something, even if it's wrong." There's a lot of wisdom in that. I think of it when I'm stalled on a project. The only thing I can think of that I've told...

    We have heard of Cars and Coffee, how about....

    I stopped drinking when my kids were old enough to notice a difference. That was 30 years ago. I hate the taste of any alcoholic drink now. I'm addicted to Diet Coke now like a certain politician. I noticed when I was lit I was more friendly, much like KD is saying. I realized I didn't need...

    My neigborhood is a mess.

    Across the valley from me is the United States Air Force Academy. They have 6000 acres of forested mountain side. That place is like a wildlife preserve!

    My neigborhood is a mess.

    I have to repost the coyote at my back door wanting in. We have lots of wildlife because we're next to a large Pine Forest. Sprinkled with $5 million dollar homes. (Not mine.) It's called Black Forest, Colorado. The bottom photo is the ranch which in a different edge of the forest.

    and how does he still have a license?

    We're glad to be rid of him in Colorado. Now get rid of Dad.

    Did Sidney actually do that burnout?

    OMG I didn't notice the front tires were smoking. I wonder what I was concentrating on? My high school car was a '66 Mustang fastback 289. I wish I could afford one now.

    Did Sidney actually do that burnout?

    She forgot the hood pins but I'm okay with that.

    Crappy cars that have become classics.

    All I see the younger Generation is interested in is trucks. That's a terrible sentence structure but you get it. Young guys even like my '91 F-150 shop truck. It's got about 115K miles on it and runs and runs. Dash hasn't cracked, seats still look new. I wonder how many hailstorms its been...

    Crappy cars that have become classics.

    I would love to have a Smokey and The Bandit Trans Am. With all the gold pinstriping. Easy enough to make it fast. Remember we have the '81 Camaro BumbleBee replica. It gets so many positive comments, I think because everybody knows what a Camaro is. It's a real POS but so was the movie car...

    The Prince of Darkness won't be down for breakfast

    Babylon Bee had an article about Ozzy telling St.Peter he was just kidding about the whole Satanist thing.

    Crappy cars that have become classics.

    I like 3rd Gen Corvettes but everyone I've owned was a rattle trap. Even our '71 Challenger is very rough and full of rattles. I wonder how much better they were when new. But more to my point what cars were pretty awful when new and have gained collector status?

    A second heavy blanket on the bed tonight.

    49 degrees at 8:00. Highs in the low 70's for a few days. I love it.
