Oh Deer!....

These photos were taken with a Tasco 5-Megapixel IR Trail Camera, a new toy Big Loo got from Santa. Pretty neat thing, you strap it to a tree out in the middle of the wilderness and leave it there. If it senses any motion it snaps a photo day or night (see photo). Then at some later point, you retrieve the thing and see what you caught. These photos where taken with the camera. Some pretty interesting stuff; a one antlered buck, the close-up deer eyeball is cool and the human shots where just taken to test the camera for range and such.
More Manhut news later.... Man Hut Rules!

Frozen Pond Runners…

We took a ride this cold sunny morning up to burning bush. With a fresh 6 inches of snow on the mountain the ride was a bit more challenging than usual but a real blast on this beautiful morning. When we got to the ponds they were frozen pretty solid so we decided to play. Note Big Loo’s fine techniques...

Watch the for the last "Bump" when Loo's rear left tire smashes through the ice...
(see you at the Manhut next week boys and girls)

Winter Scenes…

We’ve been doing quite a bit of riding in the last few weeks and spending more time at the Manhut. Here are a few photographs from some of our most recent outings.
Enjoy!...

The Weave’s Big Ride…

Weave and the kids decided to use the backyard as a ski slope today.
Nice one Weavo!...
Cheers!...

A Stone Cold Freeze…..

Last night we had a quick cold spell, got down to below 10 degrees. But with the ground still moist from previous hard rainstorms strange things can happen; ice crystals sprout from the ground and create some interesting sites. I saw this stone lifted up off the ground 5 inches as these crystals bear the weight.
Quite cool… Literally.
Cheers!...

Impromptu Party Pix…

Last night a few of us got together for an impromptu drink or two (maybe three or four).
Note my very creative photograph (click to enlarge)… It took three separate shots to build this one photo that expresses the excitement of the evening…. Gotta love The Weave’s expression.
Cheers!...

The Great Deer Hunter Bags Two….

Big Loo hit the mountain at the crack of dawn both Saturday and Sunday this weekend. Nice job!
Them looks like “Good Eats!”.
Cheers!...

Back to High Point!....

A great day to get back on the quads and up to the top of High Point Mountain. Everything just as it was left way back when we were there last in 2009. Wow has it been that long?

Good times, Good times....

Area Man Kicks Babies Asses….By I.P.Daily

Last night, between the hours of 7:30pm and 2:00am local time, retired firefighter Grizz Wingnut, kicked the collective asses of several infants in what was supposed to be an innocent game of “Go Fish”. “It was Awful,” said one eyewitness, ”He sat there silent and motionless with a blank stare, then he would strike with no mercy! He was the devil I tell you, THE DEVIL!” Witnesses say there was simply no way to explain the phenomena. “I would pull three kings, he would pull three aces. I would pull three aces, he would pull four kings… It was insane!”

When asked for comments the assailant mumbled something about the chair. “It’s the chair, the chair, the chair is HOT!”

Google Manhut…

Yesterday I typed “Manhut” into Google Images just to see what came up. I instantly got 4,310 hits in 0.10 seconds. It was pretty amazing to see how many hits I got (none of them were of us), but still it was kind of interesting to see what other people consider a manhut. I put together this compilation photo together from some of the shots I found there. I even found a bunch of guys doing the kind of stuff we do in New Zealand ( capitalquadatv.org.nz ), check out their photo album.
Cheers!....

It Snowed Yesterday…

Yesterday the Northeast was hit with yet another snow storm/blizzard. The forecast was so severe offices around the area were closed for the day…. Including mine.

See photo….. Nuf said!
