Wednesday, June 27, 2007 DISCO DISCO DISCO!!!!

I don't know if the gays have fully taken control of the company I work for, but the music in the lobby downstairs has been DISCO DISCO DISCO for weeks now. It's Raining Men, YMCA, I Will Survive, I'm Coming Out, & Xanadu have been in high rotation. I always get this weird sense of Deja Vu when I come into work & it throws me back to Sundays at the leather bar I used to DJ at. It also makes me want to put on some roller skates & blow my disco whistle while waiting on the elevator & getting my boogie on to KC & the Sunshine Band....

Monday, June 25, 2007 Hummer Happening 2007

On Father's Day we went on our annual Hummer Happening off-roading event. Craig & I took our friend Chris with us this time. We had a great time in the H3 sliding through the mud, climbing steep hills, and generally getting mud drenched. It has rained so much here the past few months so everything was quite slick. The event was held at Rough Creek Lodge, a luxury resort & business retreat. The place is neat, but it's in the fucking middle of nowheresville and it is way too expensive. At least it's free to the Hummer group once or twice a year. I've been to this place twice now, so I hope the next event is at another location.

I've posted some pics from the day & also a couple of REALLY shaky videos.

DISCLAIMER: Before anyone gets all anti-Hummer on here, let me tell you that I don't just drive the beast around for day to day activities & shit. Gas is way to expensive for that. I use it on the weekends to tow a boat & a camper. I have a great economical Scion XB for daily driving & I carpool to work. Besides, if you really look into it, the H3's MPG is no different than most full size trucks & SUV's out on the road. In fact, the inline-5 engine in it is the same that is in a Chevy Colorado & GMC Canyon. And when NASCAR stops driving hordes of cars around in a circle all day wasting gas for entertainment you can then get back to me. LOL

Also, here a funny little story about the Toyota Prius
