Amazing footage from the world indoor skydiving championship 2008. Take a minute and a half and watch this.
This is one of things that can be put in the catagory of “The most fun you can have with your clothes on” in a minute and a half at that!
Vehicle Issues
Gone are the days of spending hours on the phone with your local yellow pages in one hand, pen and paper in the other hand and writing pages of information down in an effort to find the best car insurance quote from insurance agents in your neighborhood.
All this takes place after you have spent many hours hopping from one car dealership to another finding the perfect vehicle to purchase. This process could takes days, weeks and even months to accomplish, what a time consuming task that was, back in the day!
Today you can spend what time you have and need comparing vehicles and car insurance cost offers and issues on web sites like what thecarconnection.com web site has to offer. It’s a geat one stop shopping web site for just about everything concerning new and used vehicles. Ratings, articles, reviews, photos, prices, etc. Just about every type of vehicle can be found here, lincoln, dodge, chevy, ford, honda, mazda, toyota, vw and a whole lot more right at your finger tips. They really have done a boat load of legwork on this site folks, they couldn’t have made it any easier, even financing issues can be found there.
The Big Rescue
My nephew called me late last night needing to be picked up in town. Anything after 8:30pm is late around this place and this phone call came in at 10:05pm and I was stupid enough to answer the darn phone. My nephew and I don’t necessarily get along so he was really desperate to lower himself to call me to rescue him knowing that I have to get up early to take care of the farm and all.
But family is family and that is what family is for. So it made for a late night but all is well that ends well.
Speaking of Schools
Today is the first day of school for the kids in our county. I only know because I could hear and see the big yellow school buses going by early this morning. I was all ready up and about, so they didn’t wake me up, but man are those things loud!
Hitting up Buckle for Back to School Clothes
Today’s Guest Post
Author: Theresa Guerrero
My cousin was recently in town and he needed some new clothes. He lives in the middle of nowhere in Iowa. There are no malls for 45 minutes and it is almost impossible to go clothes shopping anywhere except at Walmart. He decided that since he was in town we needed to go to the mall to find him some new clothes.
Before we left for the mall, I made sure to set my first alert alarm. Once we got to the mall, he could not decide which store he wanted to go into first. Finally, we ended up going into a store that sold hats. I thought that was dumb. Who needs hats for school? Next we went into Buckle. This store is somewhat unique because it has personal shoppers for each customer. It took him over 90 minutes to purchase two shirts and a necklace. The shirts were nicer for the times he was going to have to dress up for presentations. Still, I have never spent thirty minutes per piece of clothing in any store. Back to school shopping drives me insane!
All Work and No Play
My older sister is making plans to take the whole family to Florida this summer. She received a handsome refund check from the I.R.S. this year due to the tax credits and the stimulus package from President Obama and wants to take everyone away from all the hustle and bustle that live dishes out to each and every one of us. I’m up for that!
She has been researching Disney Tickets on the Internet, getting a head start on it all and taking her time in an effort to find the best deals. The Internet has brought making such a task a much easier one to tackle, but it still takes take to gather the information and digest it all. She is utilizing Orlandofuntickets.com right now and is sending out massive emails to the whole family, asking questions, picking every one’s brains on what they would like to do and what they would like to see while down there. Her kids have never been to a Walt Disney Theme Park and are anxious to meet Mickey Mouse and all their favorite Disney characters and want to spend a few days visiting there. While the older family members would like to visit the Animal Kingdom and the Epcot Center while we are down there.
Navy Snipers
The United States Navy came to the rescue yesterday. Their highly trained snipers took care of business. Capt Phillips can now go home to his family. These modern high tech pirates have paid the price, but I’m sure this all isn’t over by any means, a lot more blood will be shed, I’m sure of that.
Bushari Group Real Estate
The Boston area is one of my favorite places up north. I have several relatives that live there and I have visited them many times in my youth and would like to go again some time, it has been way too long since I took a trip up that a way. There is something about Boston that just gives me goose bumps, so much history was made there and they place has so much to offer all year round.
One of my distant cousins just purchased one of the really nice Boston Luxury Lofts that Boston is so well known for. He did his homework with the Real Estate in Boston and got himself a very nice deal and sent this pictures via email to prove it. The Boston Real Estate market is full of wonderful homes and deals are there to be had with the economy in such a mess, it is a buyer’s market, no doubt about that.
He was originally looking at the Boston Condos that are going for so such low prices these days, and then discovered Bushari Group Real Estate which assisted with his Boston Luxury Real Estate search, in which landed him in one of the nicest Boston Lofts that was on the market for the taking, as he did and his now proud of and one that I am eager to see when I do get a chance to visit up north again.
Today’s Skate Boarding
Oh to be young and agile again. I am in pretty good shape for my age, what with all the hard labor that the farm demands from me each day, I do fairly well for my age, but I’m no spring chicken anymore to be sure.
Skateboarding has become such a popular sport these days, it takes a whole different breed from back in my day. The tricks and stunts that these young whipper snappers can do on these skateboards are simply amazing and I have to give them credit for their guts and their talent.
Skateboards are much more complicated and diverse then the ones that I grew up on. I was looking at the new Bacon skateboards online at warehouseskateboards.com and I’m impressed with how much they have advanced through the years with today’s technology. Makes me wish I was young once again and able to participate in this exciting sport that is all the rage these days.
Las Vegas, Fun All Year Round
It has been many a year since I’ve had the opportunity to take a trip out wet to Las Vegas, the city that never sleeps. It is one place that you can find something to get into no matter what day or time it is, it’s action packed and fun filled 24/7, all year round. I’d like to think that I will be able to go there once again before I get too old to enjoy such fast paced excitement and all that Vegas has to offer with their fun and games for all who come there.
There is nothing in comparison to the much talked about Las Vegas Shows that are abundant in that town, I’ve been to Atlantic City a few times and seen some of their entertainment, which was good, but just not the same. I’ve always wanted to see Cirque du Soleil at Vegas, I’ve seen it on television several times and have always enjoyed it, but to see it live and on stage must be an experience in it’s self.
Another show that I’d like to see in Vegas is The Blue Man Group, once again I’ve seen them several times on TV throughout the years, but seeing them live would be an adventure in itself, with all the different high tech devices that are being used these days. The lights and the music and audience participation adds a totally new dimension to their act, I’m sure.
With travel plans being reduced due to the recent economy issues, there are deals a plenty to be found for trips, such as Las Vegas, Nevada. The Internet is the only way to go for an inside view of all that Vegas has to offer. Tickets for their shows go on sale early and using the Internet brings those options right to you, instead of going through a travel agent or other 3rd parties, the Internet can take the middle man right out of the picture, which saves money all the way around.
