Frosty Bites the Dust

Haha. I agree with junior on the video, this is terrible, terrible. Seriously this is a little dream of mine. Although I would never advocate this blatant act of vandalism, don't we all wish sometimes that we lived in a city where we could stop the insanity of the blow up lawn dolls. Honestly, Enough is enough, and if your neighbor has one, it should ban the entire street from ownership. Does every house a need Frosty.

This it to get my copyright into the public domain.... Claim it, so I can pitch the idea without it getting stolen.

Consumed by Baja

Yes I am consumed by BAJA.

On Jan 13th, 4 dudes! will embark on an epic journey to Baja.

STEVE CORY DAN AND ANDY.

In beg Yellow they will surf their way to Cabo, Eating Fish Tacos all the way.

Yea you're gonna need all that bass. If you want a system to handle what you want.

Big Yellow Eats Babies.

It's so awesome. Now with its bitchin hard top. This is a baja beast. Andy could you frickin get a plane ticket already.

We are off to Baja on a Nov. adventure. I have mapped out all kinds of nurseries for fuel along the way. I think though the top will have to come off for baja. It's a necessity.

So if you are a Wickersham, or know one. Tell Andy to get on his horse already, quit fightin Mexicanos and entertaining Cali visitors, and get your butt to the west coast already.

Comments Man

I want your comments.

Secretly I wait by my email for comments. This picture of my M3 is really just a solicitation for your comments.

Lets comment on everything. Lisa Loeb. Or Gm. Or how Global Warming is BS. I don't care, lets just comment baby.

I will try to post more to entice comments.

Tossies

Steve Irwin Ain't got Nothin on Me.

Ha Ha. It took ten minutes to finally catch this guy. For a non fisher, it was pretty cool. I didn't try any "fresh" moves, so I lived, unlike the Croc Hunter. But I think I like fishing. So far I have caught a shark and a sting ray. Thanks Dave.

MMM good times

MTB Day

Hey brothers! The Hogan twins celebrated the return to Soquel Demonstrational Forest today. Good times, sore butts.

Red Hot Chili Pepers Pic....EPIC

Last night was the RHCP concert. It was Epic. To sum it up in one phrase, they played Sir Psycho to end it.... by request!

Awesome Sunset

Just thought I'd share a smart shot of the sunset. I guess you can tell I got my Rebel back! This is in the backyard.

Red Hot Seats

Wanna go front row at a RHCP concert, well fork over a cool grand!

Worth it, definately. Got it definately not!

Anyway, check it out.

Hey OH, International

Well Thanks for the phone call Chris.

Made it all the way home from Tahoe, with 0 problems.

I think this makes the summer a camping based summer.

Look forward to some video posts in the next couple days as i upload them to you tube. Next time you ask... Maybe highway 1 to seattle, or possibly a run to key west.

After 45 minutes of 48 degrees, rain and dark, we called it a day for dinner in a hold in the wall spot, kind of. What started out nice, turned miserable and wet. But only 350 more miles and we're back in madison for some obligatory hinkles.

Dan McDowell Image Search Equals My Art!

Just found out that if you search my name "Dan McDowell" Two of my art pieces show up in google images!

How's that... Completely Unplanned... Totally random.

Maybe I should make it a career move, nah.

So I guess to the image searchers... ENJOY

New Orleans or Bust

Departure set for May 12th

Made it, March's Meatless Miracle

Well I made it 31 days. Took a challenge with a friend and went Meatless and Drinkless for all of March.

The big gain was really a loss, 10 lbs in 20 days... But I also started rock climbing, and excercising, and putting back on the lbs in a good way.

It was neat, admittedly needed the challenge buddy, thx Tim, otherwise I would have folded on the 5th day.

Online Flickr

I think that some of the salty dogs of the digital realm might have lost the online photo sharing piece. For the newbie My Spacers, maybe not, but I just found flickr mobile, flickr.com/mob. It is a great way to share your photos anywhere you go, and on any mobile device with a browser.

Dan... PS check mine out ELREYBLANCO

Got Up Today

Yea If I was on the ball, I would post this not on DeWired since it's not technically technical, but on SNOMOBODO on the main site. Well I am off to Baltimore, so maybe I'll fix it up right there.

So third official time going out, and I am not THERE... But close. Here's the progression. Travis is there though, he Kept the rust down on the 12 bar by Scrapin a little, oh... and on the side!

F-14 Tomcat Model Airplane

This is a bitchin video of a model F-14 that can go 280 mph. Don't ask me how they got that number unless they had a radar gun.

Anyway, I want one.

New Setup

A small re arrangement on the desk recently. Got this 20 inch from Chris (thanks). Combined with the mighty mouse of desktops, the mac mini, and what ever Carried over, this is a pretty happenin little setup. I have another gig of ram in the mail that should make me fairly satisfied for a while.
