idea is to load everyone up and pull the jeep and a subaru thingy - what do they call those yuppie 4 wheeler wannabe's that are eco? - anywho, pull 'em all behind the 'scurge. Between now and then I've got 2 trips to StL...

Definitely the desert is calling

Sean, you are quite a good photographer. I love those shots. Especially that one of Tom Sawyer at night.

I'd love nothing more, but, I'm working that day.

Speaking of work, I'm shooting the opening of the new Performing Arts center in Vegas (yes Vegas and Performing Arts in one sentence).
The building is beautiful. It's modeled after Hoover Dam in the art deco style.
See pic below.

Sorry to be so general.

I think the first thing I can make is the F-100 Westies.
I booked a boat load of work to pay for the wedding.
All I can think about is how many cars/trucks I could build for all that mula.
Don't tell Nancy I said that.

The whole time I typed that response there was something jiggling in the back of my mind (sorry to be so graphic on my inner workings

). Now I know my 6th sense works

. Oooh that was a cool show (sure scared the heck outa me).

The House That Cried Murder (2/4) - YouTube

But I digress, back to 'Scurge spring plans, not Spring break plans...

Yeah, uh, no timeline set Marc on the sping plans

; though now that you mention it, maybe the end of Spring I can do the springs...

Sheez, this coffee stuff really works.

Very cool Marc, It takes Vegas to build something that extravagant.

That reminds me to get out and walk one of these self guided tours of downtown LA buildings. Los Angeles Conservancy
