Monster Truck Rally

So after my little trip to the ER this morning (check my other blog for more info) I headed up to Casper WY to see a Monster Truck Rally!!! Jared drove so that was nice not to have to drive the 2.5 hours up there and it was nice to have company in the car for a change.


I think Gravity hill really messed Chris up...

Once we got to Casper we took Chris to Gravity hill and then headed to Amy’s house for a few beverages before the main event.


A shark tried to eat me outside of Stanford’s, a pretty cool eatery, get it....

The Girls trying to save me

Dam the luck!

Yea it was a crazy place =)


All ready for the main event

Now for the Monster Trucks! Well in all honesty they were pretty disappointing… I mean they races about 25 yards and well didn’t do much in the tiny arena =( But the Motor cross was a blast to watch. They had everywhere from 5-6 year olds racing to others that called themselves “professionals” . After an evening sucking the exhaust of all the trucks and such we decided that we really needed to wash that bad taste out of our mouths by having a few drinks at the Beacon.
I think all of News 13 was there so it was fun to see Brendon and all of his crew get silly drunk. I felt bad for them so I joined in and tried to make a fool of myself too =)~


This was a close race but watch the video below to see how long the track is





Yea a pretty short race





Smash those cars!


This guy won the night, I think because he crashed they let him win.

This morning we drove back after an awesome breakfast at Eggington’s. I really enjoyed the breakfast a lot more then the 2.5 hour drive home but that too eventually ended. I spent the remainder of the day working on the plane and ordering filters for the HVAC and a backup ignitor for the furnace.

OK I am going to try and get some sleep tonight, have a good one.

Some catchin up time

Ok I have a few stories to catch up on so here it goes.

I went to Ft. Collins just to do a little shopping but we ended up having a few margaritas with dinner and then KC had to try the Drunken Monkey!


Started the night off at the Rio

I was an awesome bar where the seats are swings with huge rope that makes you feel like you are in the jungle, ok not really but just go with it.


Our Mascott


Love those chairs!

That night Will got me to sing some Karaoke and well KC does not sing and should not sing, but hey we were all a little happy so KC sang.

It was a great night and I was really glad that we went out on a school night until I had to wake up in the morning, but then I said screw it and slept in... Yea I am a bad bad boy ;) OK I am over it.

The weekend before I left WY to come out to Little Rock I went up to see my sister Amy in Casper Wyoming. Liz took me and showed us all a great time up there at a place called the beacon.

Before we started our night of beverages I had the privilege of being taken around town as she showed me all of her old hangout spots and the coolest thing ever… Gravity Hill.

There is a place in Casper WY that defies all laws of physics. You drive your car DOWN hill to the bottom of this valley and put the car into neutral and it will roll back UP hill from where you just came down. I would swear that it had to be some visual illusion but if it is it’s way crazy!!! So after playing on the hill a few times we finally had to start the drinking =)

Amy’s house is very nice and we lit some fireworks and I burnt some meat on the grill all before heading out that night.


We were a sneaken at the Beacon

I wish I had more pictures but this is all I have; I guess I was slacking that night. We had a blast and it was a great last night in town before I headed out.

So now I am in Little Rock Arkansas for some more wonderful air force training.

The drive out here was long and boring till I got out of Kansas. That state is soo boring and I had to drive for what felt like forever threw it but it was only some 400-500 miles!

Oh but the exciting part of the drive was that my Jeep turned 111111, yea she makes me so proud!

Yes it's the small things that make me smile =)


And yes I even took a video of the special event

I spent the night as I crossed the border into Oklahoma. I pulled off the road into a truck stop and got into the back of the Jeep and feel asleep for a solid 8.5 hours. I guess I was tired.

The rest of the drive went well with a stop at Braums, an awesome hamburger/ice cream shop, kind of like a dairy queen but with a 7/11 in the store as well. I love there burgers and because they are only around Oklahoma I don’t get to have them as much as I would like.

Then I got to little rock and after a little sweet talking I am staying in the Residence Inn again, yes living the good life. They cook breakfast and dinner for me so I save money and get pampered all at the same time =)

Yesterday I went to a birthday party for Ryan, he turned 4. I remember when he took his first step, we were in my house in Japan and he was trying to get some cheerios. Ahh the good old days for having someone take care of your every need.

Well I will try and keep you all informed of what’s going on but I do have homework now so I don’t have as much time as I would like to goof off. Miss ya all and ALOHA!
