Check out this cheesy shot of me in all my SWAT gear. You know what they say about boys and their toys.

Jason's truck

Jason's truck is looking like a true Creston vehicle (its covered in dust and needs a wash). I am starting it regularly and its running fine. It can't wait for your return so someone will wash it. It's also very jealous that Anna would talk about getting another car Ha Ha. Sorry Anna, your out of luck, the Falcon is going up for sale once I get it looking better. And yes, gloss black is going to be its primary color although I will include some red on the sides and the hood scoop.

OOOH NOOO, its here early! Suzette ordered lots of very expensive, super grass that will supposedly need little water and loves high heat and clay soil. It was not supposed to be delivered here until Sept 12th, which would have given me a little time to properly prep the soil. I came home the other day and it had been delivered early ARRRRRGH. So now the push is on, gotta get it into the ground. Right now its taken over the garage and it's doing well but I need to get it into the ground pronto. Well, it will be nice to have it better established before winter gets here but I would still like to throttle those people at High Country Gardens.

My longboard is sick. I had some bad delamination on the deck. I was talking with a surfboard shaper and he told me how to fix it. I have pealed the fiberglass cloth off and will be filling with some stuff called Q-cell mixed with resin, then I will top it with new fiberglass cloth. Don't worry Anna, I will leave your surfboard alone Ha Ha. It's still hanging on the wall waiting for your return.

Look! the drip system is paying off and the plants are growing great, even in August. In years past they were lucky to survive the August heat

I thought I would take a picture of my latest project I have started on. Its a 1961 Ford Falcon Futura. I found a set of four lug rims with tires for $50 on Craigs'list for it so I dragged the car out from under a ton of trash where it was stored in the back of the barn. After I sell the forklift this will be the next thing to get fixed up and sold.

We had a great vacation!

Luke is ready to hit the road!

We stayed over night at Lake Havasu, the motel was not that great although it was cheap, but the lake more then made up for it and the kids got a kick out of the London Bridge. It was great to have a break from driving and take a dip in the water.

Luke and Matt really like the horny toad lizard the Gabe and Jackson caught for them to see!

Here is a shot I took with Barbara on the front porch of her house.

Here is everyone but Barb on the front porch of Barb's house. We really had a lot of fun in Las Cruces! Check out Suzette's Blog as she has a lot more photo's.

Here is what I enjoyed the most about Leggo Land. They had a giant water area with water shooting everywhere, this picture really does not do justice to it. The parents were supposed to stay with their kids but mostly it was a ton of out-of-control kids blasting each other (and us parents) with water. The huge buckets on top of the structure would fill up with water and when the center of gravity got too high they would dump, lots of fun.
