Reno Hot Air Balloon Races 2013
We checked out the GRBR this weekend. We woke up at 3 AM so I thought we’d be among the first ones there. Boy was I wrong. Everyone and their brother was there and the traffic was horrible. By the time we walked onto the field they had started inflating the balloons and we couldn’t …
Lake Tahoe 2013
We haven’t seen Jimi in such a long time, so we decided to go up to Tahoe to see him. We rented a place in the Tahoe Keys & drove up for the 3 day weekend. Because of the Rim Fire in Yosemite the air was a bit smoky but not nearly as bad as …

Potato Wine?
Just joking. This caught my eye yesterday at the Boise ID airport. I hope it’s good.

Kauai 2012
This was our 1st trip to the garden isle. 1st of all there are feral chickens everywhere. There are 3 theories/stories on why there are so many chickens on Kauai. 1. The original Polynesians brought them over. 2. Hurricane Iniki destroyed the chicken farms and they escaped. 3. Filipinos brought over fighting breeds for cockfighting. …
