The hair in my nose acts like it feeds daily and comes from the land that Godzilla came from. Fast and long. If I don't keep on top of it, it gets longer than my hair on my head.
I am not here cause I am playing photographer and on my mountain bike.

Donate it. You could always braid it, your nose could have it's own fu-manchu...until it gets caught in the sprocket of your bike. Hmmm, nevermind.

Happy Birthday Everyone :D

Mine was yesterday... you guys are lucky. You get to share a birthday with David Bowie and Elvis. I'm stuck with Katie Couric and Kenny Loggins.

Yes, thats the truck. One pic entails a line up trucks, eight of them in a row and you are second from the end. An orange truck on the end and a yellow one beside yours.

Second one shows your truck crossing a small shallow creek, rooster tails just flying! I do not have a scanner at home, I would have posted some pics for ya.

That was some great driving! No where near a shallow creek in spots. What did you use for waterproofing, Plastidip?

actually i was being really stupid with my driving because i was wanting to put on a show. ;)

i use dielectric grease on all my connections, corrosion x in the motor windings, and conformal coating on all the circuit boards and motor sensor. that rig has no balloons over anything or any of that bulky non-reliable waterproofing methods, just conformal coating.

I can relate... (poor video quality, but fairly obscure so I'll take what I can get)
