IT'S SUPERCROSS!!!

(These two battles for the better part of the premier race of the night)



This past Saturday Tre and I ventured up to Rice-Eccles Stadium for the return of Supercross to Utah. After a 5 year hiatus from Utah, Supercross was back and better than ever. Except for parking 2 miles away and carrying Tre to the stadium (he fell asleep on the way up and wasn't happy when I awoke him) it was pretty much the sweetest thing ever. The racing was intense, the chicks were smoking hot (just kidding Bec), and the weather actually turned out to be pretty decent. It was a little chilly, but not too bad considering it was snowing in Utah County a few hours before the racing started. I was a little worried it was going to be a mudder, but the track turned out to be pretty good.

I think Tre had a pretty good time. He liked the track and the motorcycles (even though he didn't like how loud they were), but most of all he liked the bobcats that were doing track maintenance between races. Of all the cool things at a Supercross he gets excited over the miniature tractors used to smooth out the track. Wow. He also thoroughly enjoyed the big bag of cotton candy and lemonade we got (I used it to bribe him after he said he wanted to go home 15 minutes into it) shortly after arrival.

Overall the event was a huge success and I even have a verbal commitment from Tre to attend next year with me as well. So anyone else who would like to join us next year, this is your open invitation. And don't act you're all too cool, believe me you won't be disappointed.

Newest Members In A Growing Family

Just as the Dr. posted about a little while ago, I too was bitten by the gun bug. I was just bitten a very long time ago. My collection has been growing for quite some time now and these two fine pieces are the latest additions.





The top one is a 9mm (CZ 85 b) and the bottom is a 22lr (Sig Sauer Mosquito). I purchased these last week and still have not had a chance to shoot either one (9mm ammo is a little hard to find right now). I have however, already ordered some accessories for my trusty little Mosquito. This time next week it should be fitted with a sweet laser sight to add to the already pimp look. Two of my bother-in-laws have these little Mosquito's and they are a ball to shoot, and 22lr bullets are about as cheap as it gets. As for the 9mm, reviews on the internet were all stellar. For under $500 I thought this would be a solid choice for my first "gangsta" gun or "Gat".

Eventually I would like to customize a pair of these 9mm to look something like this...




or maybe even this....




Tell me those aren't sweet looking.
