Jack Olsen?

He seems to be showing up in a lot of places, lately... ;)

Uh....close but no

That's Simon Bolivar "El Libertador"

overrated comander of an army that liberated what? 5 countries.

This was on the ground at the top of Whiteside Mountain in North Carolina. Someone was having some fun. ;)

Maybe this could be a new fad. You climb up the 1 mile trail, do something that requires panty removal, leave panties as a decoration, and hike back down, pantyless.

I drove around North Carolina in my Dodge truck all week. We had to haul a bunch of furnature up to the house. I promised myself we go up in the Audi next time.

Driving on roads like this in a truck made me cry.

These taken 5 years ago over our house when we lived in central Wisconsin. We had some hellacious storms there! A town called Kroenenwetter was leveled about 25 miles away. We didn't get so much as a raindrop.

At this point we're saying "Oooooo-look at the poofy clouds."

Found this in our roses last year. I know these bugs are harmless but they sure try to convience you otherwise. Its mate chased my wife across the lawn. I laughed my a$$ off watching. :eek:

Not much story to it. We were skiing and saw a bear in a tree. That's about it. He (she?) must have just come out from hibernation and was hungry, as he was eating the pine needles. We were probably 20 to 30 feet away. The bear is only about 5 feet above snow level. He checked us out, then went back to eating, scratching his ears with his big claws, eating some more, etc. He was pretty cute.

That's five more countries than I've liberated. If he's overrated, then I need to get my arse in gear and start some liberatin'.

that almost looks like hwy 142 that goes from lyle to goldendale going thru klickitat valley.....if you have not driven it yet do and get ready for a great drive. It narrows to a one lane road, paved a total ripper of a road....my favorite rally road.

It's actually State Route 3, AKA HWY11, from Enterprise OR to Lewiston, ID via the very bottom corner of WA. Can't wait to get my targa so we can go drive it...

My trusted steed just got back from a spirited run - cooling off in the stable!

Nothing special, just two-part epoxy paint on concrete; holds up great to spills, oil, etc. and easy to clean up.
