... I am the most evil motherfucker in the valley!!! :evillaugh: :arrr: :viking:
Thought I'd take this opportunity to say that I'll be gone for 5 days, from the 14th to the 18th. I'm going to be in...
Death Valley!!!
I'm going for a 5 day geology filed trip to study rocks, rock formations, and erosive processes. We'll have catering done by Santa Barbara City College culinary students. We'll also have a couple trips to hot springs swimming holes. Anyways, it should be lots of fun and I'll learn a lot. If all else fails, I can claim that for 5 days, I was stoned the whole time. :stoned: (terrible pun, I know) ::)

Have fun! Be :viking: !
Kick that valley's ass!!!! :litigious:
*packs some :scotch: for you to take along*

Sounds like a great opportunity to learn new things, bro. Make sure you get the most you can out of it. :thumbup:

Have fun, make sure to think about the rest of us without "real lives" while you're soaking in those hot springs. ;)

We're not officially allowed to drink. I've got my ways of getting it in though. ;)

Yeah, it's a tough job, but I don't mind doing it because I'm just that selfless and caring. :laugh:

Have fun Scrap.
Perhaps you remeber this: Chris Ordered Some Delicious Meaty Pepperoni Pizza That Just Cost Twenty Quarters, or Heavy People Put More On Every Plate, or perhaps Oseealfeycanackmeg?? :green:

Well niggahs, I've got to sign off and finish packing my stuff. We head out at 6:30 in the morning for Death Valley. Our first stop is in Cuyama, of highway 166, to study that part of the San Andreas fault. :thumbup:

Our whole class jumped up and down in unison to try to cause one while we were there. :rofl:

He couldn't survive without a complete set of spices? Was he also a pastry chef? :zoinks:

Well, I'm on my way to the Death Valley Field Trip Reunion Party!!! :party:
There's supposed to be 6 cases of Newcastle and 6 cases of Firestone Pale Ale. I have volunteered my services just in case they have a hard time getting rid of all the beer. ;) :glug:
-
I have tomorrow off and i am going to watch the pole quals for the Indy 500.
see you there?
probably not, sorry.
I will fear no evil.
(been a while since I got in for free - I paid full price, last year, just to make sure I was there)
-
I know it is not your sort of racing (nor is it my favorite), but seriously, IT HAS BEEN TOO LONG FOR ME!!

I'm sure the Indy 500 is one hell of a cool spectacle to see in person. As for me, I have a more than just a bit of ADD and 2 hours is too long for me to pay attention to a race.
:tantrum:
My issue with Indy racing, is the issue that I have with all of professional motorsports these days. It's all descended into spec racing. Who wants to see 30 of the same Honda powered Dallara chassis racing?? What does that prove?? NASCAR with its COT is the same, and the NHRA is just as guilty of homoginizing its pro classes. That's why I've become an advocate of grassroots motorsports. I like to see different types of cars competing against eachother. I also want to see racing that's done for the pure passion of racing, instead of for money and TV exposure.

I mostly agree, but I often root for the underdog who can not find a high dollar sponsor until the last day.
For me it is mostly about the team effort and how they are able to overcome and anticipate the vastly changing conditions at this track. (remember, it is an almost flat track, with extreme swings in temperature during the day - I forget the exact degree of maximum banking but it is pretty much a flat track compared to all the rest.).
... and the "spectacle," of course. As you know, my ADHD is something similar to your ADD, but there is so much going on at the "500" that I never go bored. I also never go to a race without my closed channel track radio set, either. The crowd is always entertaining, even though the no-name Christians finally managed to outlaw bare tits in the infield a few years ago. :violin:
I also like the smell of freshly compression burned, delectably clean, almost edible, high tech synth-oil, the way the stands shake as the cars rumble by (most people do not realize just how big and powerful the cars are, because they have only seen them on television and the damn things are just over knee-high to the techs that build them - :lol:) and the incredible amount of wasted "anti-lift, down-force air," curling over the bodies of the cars, that smacks the fuck out of you if you are in the first twelve or fifteen rows up. It is one of those complicated sets of experiences that you MUST be present for, just to begin to understand the first half of it.
I do get what you are talking about, though. I used to go to so many NASCAR races (there were just so damn many to go to, within driving distance, nearby), but I have now, completely turned my back to them. I did not even watch last year's, Daytona 500 and forget this year's.
Homogeny in racing fucking sucks!!

This was a fun field trip.
-
Are you going there again? :orly:
-
Well, now would be the time of year to do it, daytime temps are in the 50's to 70's.
It gets surprisingly cold at night there though.
The first night I was there, it was 33 deg at sunrise. It was over 100 at Badwater Basin by 2pm that same day.

If you go, bring me back a sailing stone. :green:

Cool.
Ice, snow and storm may have more to tell in different geological mysteries.
