PICTURES

New Bike: A shot of me standing in front of my 1999 Honda ST1100 motorcycle. I stepped up to this from my Nighthawk 750 in April of 2000.

ST1100 & Nighthawk: Here's another shot of my bike alongside the Nighthawk I used to own.

Lazy-boy: Peter wakes up just long enough to see what the hell I am pointing at him. Once he realized it was just a camera he went right back to sleep.

Common, get Happy! Here's a picture of Happy taken on 2-19-00. He's getting to be a big boy, but is still very playful. He also still purrs the second you pick him up. I wonder how long it will take for that to wear off... :)

Happy New Year! on Friday December 10, 1999 Happy New Year ("happy" for short) came home from the Golden Valley Shelter. This is a picture of Happy at the shelter before he came home.

Peter and Happy: Peter isn't too sure about this new critter. It's going to take time for him to adjust to having another cat in the house.

Winterhaven: this shot was taken in October of 1995. My Dad and I rented an airplane and shot a few rolls of film from the air. You can see a lot in this particular shot if you know where to look, including the pond, the house, the polebarn. I'm sure there are a few other things I'm missing too!

Zoomed in: this is the same picture as above but with just the yard and structures. It's a little fuzzy but not too bad considering the source.

Peter and Doc: I have two cats, Peter (gray) and Doc (tabby). Here you can see Doc checking Peter out.

Hanging out on the couch: Here you can see me and both cats hanging out on the couch. This picture was taken in 1998 in my apartment in Eden Prairie.

Pixel in a box: Here is my favorite cat picture of Pixel busted checking out an empty box of pop.

Country Cats: This is a picture of me holding my Uncle Dick and Aunt Katy's kittens. These guys have the perfect cat life. They each have an identical twin to play with, live in a barn with lots of hay to crawl in and mice to chase, and have pleanty of food and warmth from the rain and snow.

My 1990 Corrado: I drove this Corrado until it was totaled in an accident with a ruthless 4" curb which I hit at about 35mph. Not surprisingly I walked away from the accident unharmed but the frame of the car was bent and the insurance company totaled the car instead of fixing it.

My Jeep: When I replaced the Corrado I decided to get a vehicle capable of going over a 4" curb at 35 without breaking. Clearly, my only choice was the 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee pictured here. This picture was taken in December of 1999 at Winterhaven.

More snow: Of course it wasn't enough to know that the Jeep could handle a curb. I had to see how much snow it would take to get it stuck...

Stuck!: As it turns out Michigan's U.P. did have enough snow to get my jeep stuck. Still, I don't think my Corrado would have made it that far into that snowbank.

Hobie Cat: This is my Hobie 16 Catamaran. I learned to sail on it in the spring of 1998. This picture was taken on White Bear Lake in May of 1998. I keep the boat on Lake Waconia and have been a member of the Lake Waconia Sailing Club for two years.
