Name:
Location: Longview, Washington, United States

I live in a small town in Washington State, USA, with my wife, two sons, two dogs, a cat, and family nearby. I work at the local community college as an I.T. Specialist. In March of '02, we bought a 70-some year old house that needed a lot of work. When I'm not working on the house, I like to throw pots, be outside, and read a lot.

  • Man, how low is your car riding?

  • Dont be fooled by the rocks that I got ...

    Scott got caught with a load of rocks in his trunk, man.

    You mean crack?

    Well, yah, some of them were cracked but they were, like, pyroclastics, so the they're heavily fragmented...

    We actually weren't low riding that low, but we had to take the corners a little easier.

  • no worse than when I put 10 bags of concrete in the Subaru. I'm only going 10 blocks though.

  • Praise Derek...another person who thinks "subaru wagon" translates directly into "quarter ton pickup truck"...

  • Hey man, throw a couple of those in an envelope and mail them to me! I'll reimburse you for the stamp.

    I wish I could find stuff like that for free!

    What kind of VW you got?

  • Its an 02 jetta TDI. I can't remember if its the GLS or GLX. Its the one of the two that comes with the nicer stuff like leather seats. I really have enjoyed it. Is a very enjoyable ride in every way except that the arm rest in between the seats is of shoddy construction. I found out this week that I can get biodiesel delivered to my house for only about a dollar less than I'm paying at the pump. Woot!

    A friend of mine from high school is now a mail deliverer for the post office. Apparently they now have a deal where you can mail as much weight as you want in a certain sized container. People really are mailing rocks and stuff around. His favorite customer is an ammunition reloader who regularly has sheets of lead delivered to his home - gotta love carrying a few extral lead bars on your walking route.

  • Now, Scooter...you created another blog for fear of neighborly building-code-violation retribution, but you post freely about removing mineral resources from public land without a permit. Shame.
