August 7, 2010. EKIII Run

7-10-2010.
Picking up Eddie for the EKIII run.  Eddie was a regular in an internet group I am in, until he crashed and became paralyzed.  The internet group raised money for such things as vans for his parents to take him out of the home he was in for doctor visits and just a change of scenery.  We have a birthday party for him every year at a campground in Ohio.  Eddie has sadly passed, but his memory lives on.  EKIII Rides With Me!

November 9. 2005 Junkyard Goat

11-9-05.  Working telecoms in Dallas, I went to a site and saw this goat guarding the junkyard.  I don't know if it was as effective as a dog, but I'm sure it kept the weeds down better that a dog would.

2-24-2017 Squirrel in Georgia

2-24-17  Squirrel in yard at my rented place outside Waynesboro, GA.  I had put up a bird feeder, and it was a constant struggle to keep the squirrels out.  I first put up a plastic feeder, and they ate a hole into the top to get to the seeds.  I bought a metal one, that kept them from eating the feeder, and it slowed down the damage, but they still ate more than their share.

5-2-2004 NASCAR at Fontana

May 2, 2004.  NASCAR race at Fontana.  Hector, a project manager for one of our subcontractors, invited Scott and I to the infield to see the race and party with his friends.  We got there, and called him.  We met just outside the gate, and Hector gave us a couple of wristbands with the admonition not to put the adhesive on all the way.  Seems the group reused the wristbands top get a bunch in.  They had a complete compound set up, and the night before had been one hell of a party.  The race was good, and much beer was drank.
