Posted August 21 2008 12:18 PM by Willys

Sloppy Seconds: Round Two

M38A1 Frame

A few more fire pictures

Posted August 19 2008 10:48 PM by Willys

So, I didn't want to inundate the blogs with all the pictures at once. Fire equipment was all packed up and gone (or 90% of it anyway) by late afternoon yesterday. Here's some additional pictures I shot and...

Fire at JPete's place.

Wildfires Strike

Posted August 18 2008 09:16 PM by Willys

Instead of pulling an LT-1 out of a Caprice on Sunday, I got to pack up what was most important to me and load the 715 for evacuation due to a wildfire within a mile of my house.

So what was it... 3 nights ago I didn't get home from work until 2 am? Today I decided to head into work at 2am. Yep, I'm just like that sometimes.

So you might have noticed that I didn't put up a blog yesterday... I couldn't find anything to blog about... and by the time I did I was in no shape to be near a computer.

Bigfoot Dead?

Posted August 13 2008 12:56 PM by Jp Editor

I just read about the found dead body of a bigfoot-like creature. I'm curious, is it real, or is it yet one more hoax? CLICK HERE

When did you get home?

2 in the morning.

So, we have to do one blog a day. The higher ups think we are that interesting (in a pheasant under glass kind of way, I'm sure) that they want us to do one each working day. We really aren't that interesting,...

New-to-me Jeepster

Another one followed me home

Posted August 11 2008 09:25 PM by Willys

So, I've been all about downsizing my fleet for the last couple of months. Entertaining silly offers on many of my Jeeps that I'd not have entertained before because I now have 5 Jeeps at my house, and 4 elsewhere...

What is wrong?

Jeeps I saw today

Posted August 8 2008 10:23 PM by Willys

I saw a bunch of crap today that made me question where the Jeeping world is going. And then, at the end of the day, somewhat at wit's end, I saw a license plate that snuck by the CA DMV and made it much better.
