Reggie Deluxe Revisited

I now see that Oprah has the recipe on her website for the Reggie Deluxe.

Out And About Town

Supposed to be 94 degrees today. Heading to the basement very soon.

One Reggie D To Go Please

If you are one to believe that Gay marriage will bring the world to it's knees, then you have another thing coming. It has the sign of the beast fried into it and it is known as the Reggie Deluxe from Pine State Biscuits.

This demonic vittle has One egg, Bacon, fried chicken, cheese and gravy wedged between two parts delightful biscuit.

Thank God for Caduet I like to say.

After pounding this mother down, Susan and I went for a walk (3 miles before the heat ratcheted up) and I swear, I could smell the Reggie oozing out of my pores.

This may be an annual thing as I can hardly fathom it as a regular, although delicious, staple. Not too mention, it took me a year and 4 months of living here to gather the courage.

Here is a picture with the flash on which really makes it look intimidating.

The Stallion Rolls

Check out this little Filly. This was a first for us and we saw it on our last trip.

Finally took the time to zoom in on the pics to find out what it is. This is a trike bike manufactured by none other than Thoroughbred Motorsports. This model is the Stallion and it runs a cool $32,995 semolians. It even has a steering wheel, heat, AC and a trunk.

Seems as if they finished their production line just last February.

For all your viewing pleasure, here are photos from the Kool Kat High Murder Mystery party.

Hilarious at best, embarrassing at worst.

Post 4th Post

Back in the saddle again (or should I say couch surfing comfortably at home).

We had a great time with the SF Browns in Burney Ca and also popped into Crater Lake on the route home.

It was very hot and we spent lots of time at the lake and in the water. Thank god it cooled down at night or we may not have survived.

The camp ground was great and getting a cabin is highly recommended since it stays cool inside for a good part of the day. More importantly in the am when the sun comes up and the tent becomes a wood burning oven, it helps to have an escape plan (cabin/lake).

Doug and I got skunked fishing but, its the thought that counts.

Here is the slide show from the trip...

Burney Falls Tomorrow - Happy 4th!

Damn straight! We are going camping and taking the Hugo and the Kayak for 4th weekend.


Meeting Heather, Doug & EJ with plans to attempt to catch some fresh trout and live off the fat of the land. With that in mind, we will be bringing Thai food from Pad Thai Kitchen for our first nights dinner (Drunken Noodle, Tofu and Red Curry, Pra Ram with Peanut Sauce).

The Forecast:


The Plan:

Water sports and hydration as it will be friggin hot as a MF'r. The river and Lake Britton should be accommodating in this respect.

Our site is very cool (we hope) that brags a small cabin, tent space, table, fire ring and parking for 2 vehicles. The grounds have real toilets and showers too! Not the Ritz but, what can you expect.

Have fun!

Yooper Vacation June 2009

And yes it has been a long time. Here is a web album of photos from our U.P. MI trip this June.

And if you must know, I did Wii bowl 298 (8 pins split on the last ball). Guess it's better to not be perfect (har).

Enjoy...

Ross Lake 2009

Looks Like Water Fun

It was May 2005 and we were supposed to head out with the DBA crew on this killer boat and sail around Manhattan.

As you can see from the photo, it was a little overcast/rainy and also pretty windy. Therefore, after boarding the vessel and preparing to disembark, the event was canceled.

Shiver me timbers.

Off to the big apple tonight for Friends, Food and of course Fun.

What The Hell Have You Been Doin?

Well to be honest, we have been very busy here in the Pacific Northwest.

We dove right into a project soon after the last post on this site and this is the main reason I have not been updating the blog. I hope to re-engage going forward as most of the work is now complete.

So, you say, "What was this project you speak of?" A big one: We tore out the old back yard that was Ok but, suffering due to mud plots, cracking patio stones, dry rotten deck and an eyesore of cement table.

Goal of the project was to get us off our asses and get some real work done that would make this summer all the more awesome.

Here is the slideshow (click on it to enlarge):

Back Yard & Deck Project 2009

As you may not be able to appreciate from the imbedded slideshow here are some highlights....

• Built ramps within the debris box to ensure we filled it to the brim (if you have done this before, it makes for good theater seeing someone race a wheelbarrow up the ramp to dump debris in back and on top of the pile)
• We had an minimum load of 4 tons for the box and put in 18 tons
• The truck that came to pick it up looked like it was going to flip over on its side when it was loading up the bin. That would have been interesting and depressing all at the same time.
• Our initial paver delivery was the wrong stones
• The deck wood order was short and this is why we have yet to put on the railings
• Karen was instrumental in picking out the plants for the back garden area replanting (and effort I might add!)
  

Kudos to the following vendors for providing superior service and materials...

Lakeside Lumber
Willamette Graystone
Porland Sand & Gravel

We are off to NYC tomorrow and hope to post from there. Have fun!
