Back…

I'm back in town and BME has had a small update as promised. Anyway, experiences tomorrow, then piercing, then members as always! And tomorrow the new IAM box starts getting worked on too.

The day begins

Headed out to begin the day with Lara and Clive (to go get Nefarious some presents among other things), and then later others I hope and of course the meetings that “officially” brought me here to NYC. Oh, and this shirt I'm wearing today (one of my favorites)? It goes out to the guy “anonymously” slagging me (in pretty off-base ways, as is typical — hell, I'm not a hard guy to insult, why can't people do it more on target?) on ModBlog.

Oh, and for those that are interested in the car part of me, I posted a FireAero and some Bradley GTs to PoHT this morning as well. Anyway, time to put on some socks.

Tourist Photos?

Another wonderful day here in the USA. Seriously, I enjoy visiting New York City more every time I'm down here… I think in the past I wrote it off as a “bigger Toronto” and never really took in its unique flavor. But now that I've really had time to walk around so much — Clive took a leisurely walk from our hotel (which is about three blocks south of Central Park) down to CBGBs where I assume right now he is hanging out with a very surprised friend from Toronto who happened to be playing there tonight (which he only discovered as we arrived here today).


I'm afraid my picture tale of touristy photos ends in Tompkins Square Park (where I headed off to begin my own evening, after first begging Badur for a big favor — which once again he came through on for all of us). Well, it's past my bedtime now and I'm going to crash out!

I have so many stories to tell, I hope I remember them at least in fragments for the future.

I Heart NYC

…and I <3 nav systems.

Anyway, we've made it to town. Once again, my view from the hotel room sucks (other than that I like this hotel), but at least this time it sucks in a hilarious way. It looks like the air conditioning duct got hit by a meteor or something. I guess something fell off the 30th story and destroyed it. Wish I could have seen that happen!

Let's see… On the road trip here (about three hours of driving that took about four and a half, with an extra hour and a half being pegged on for the last fifteen miles) we passed a bunch of hotrods starting with this yellow classic (car photos by Clive so we wouldn't crash):

Then, because we're not in any rush, we stopped at Cabela's (imagine a Fry's Electronics but for fishing, hunting, and camping — a massive inventory, with a mix of tacky yet somewhat amusing decorating style). Clive got some fishing stuff and took more photos but here's the general idea:

As we continued, more hotrods:

Anyway, as I said, we're here…

Off to NYC

Here we go. If you see us, don't laugh at our red foreheads. How is it possible that we can live in Mexico and the Caribbean for a year and never really get much of a sunburn, but get all pink after an overcast day in Pennsylvania? Sheesh. Anyway, here's a little mini truck from the show that I thought was funny that I can't really post to the kit car site because it's a production vehicle:

Anyway, depending on my plans for today I may not have another chance to post to any sites, but I'll try and get something up on ModBlog tomorrow from the road (and PoHT as well).
