Sucks doesn't it??? :freakin_nuts: Yes it did! Funny you said that. I sent a text to a few DDR friends when we were taking off saying hey check it out- the runway is a huge conveyor belt and our plane DID, in fact, take off! I wanted to give the scenario to the pilot as we walked off the plane and ask him what he thought.

I don't see that as ANYONE'S point of view here. Trash is supposed to be hauled out regardless and properly secured in the bed of your pickup no matter what. Dumpsters are not the answer to a cleaner Dumont. Pack it in, Pack it out! It's not rocket science. I'm not even getting into the whole dumpster agrument here either. There is already a separate thread for that. :freakin_nuts:

I think he meant liquid lunch :dance: I should be there on Saturday unless something comes up and I have to drive up to Salt Lake . That may have to wait though.

You think 3.45 for diesel is bad? Fuel prices in Monterey, CA last weekened....

journalism school??? :dance: Anyways, that last pic was taken when we were flyin into Vegas. I think it was the South Point Hotel/ Casino.

Yeah if we had more time we would have. Anna has been there before and has done all that, but this trip was only to visit the aqaurium and do whatever else we had time for. Definitely next time though. I was waiting for someone to say something about that. I always get some looks when I wear that shirt. BP-guy gave it to me. It's funny- when we were at kokomos down in Havasu some mexican guy was giving me crap about it. I didn't take any of his crap though and stood my ground. I just kept asking him if he was AMERICAN and in AMERICA. Alot of people don't get: it doesn't matter what race or ethic background you are- you should still be proud to be an American citizen and appreciate what the border patrol does and protects for our country. Even still...I thought the picture was pretty funny.

Thanks Dan- it was alot of fun :dance:

Can you spot Forrest Gump in the pic?

Last weekend Anna and I went to Monterey for her birthday. She's been there before, but this was my 1st time. That place is way nice and lots of fun. We flew in Saturday morning and checked in to our hotel, then went down to check out Old Fisherman's Wharf, Cannery Row, and the Aquarium. The main reason for our visit was to go to the Aquarium to get a behind the scenes tour of the place since Anna works in the aquarium business. We did so many things in our 2 day visit that it almost felt like we were there for a week. We didn't even feel rushed. After some rest back at our hotel, we went out Sat night and hit up a few pubs and bars. There were live bands at this place called Bullwackers (yeah, thats really the name ) and Sly McFlys. It was pretty cool- we got to party a bit and check out some music while were at it. The Monterey Bay Aquarium is awesome. We saw many different fish, sharks, jelly fish, otters, some birds, and even octopus. The only downfall was that it was full of screaming kids and a few rude people pushing their way to get a closer look at some of the displays. Our behind the scenes tour was pretty sweet though. We got to see alot of the equipment and even check out the great white shark and the black sea turtles from above the tanks. The scenery up there is great....the ocean, the trees, clean beaches, paths to walk, Cannery Row which has so many cool shops and things to see, etc. One of the best moments of the weekend was when Anna and I were walking along the lighted path at night leaving one of the bars down at Cannery Row just playing it by ear. We had no destination, we had a nice little buzz going , were laughing like idiots as we recited almost entire chapters from the movie, Super Troopers , and it began to rain a very light mist. To us it was perfect temperature (mid 60's) and with the rain in our face and smell of the cool clean air from the ocean- we were just plain happy as hell and were having a great time together. :dance:

That's enough in return for me. I'll pay it whatever the price. The reason for the fee increase has been discussed on here many times.

We are still waiting for the new fees to be passed by a commitee. The season passes will not be available until those new fees are passes and the permits are printed. I would have to guess late November or early Dec. I am in contact with the BLM and any info will updated and posted on the homepage.

Ed will never learn. ...and I still think that quad is a giant waste of time and money

Oh boy. You read that too literal- I just meant strapped to me in general. Although if were to take off I'd probably wanna be sitting down during flight. But hey, I like pizza!

uhhh NO, but if I had jets strapped to my a$$ I would take the fk off!

I'd have to pass on those guys.

Hey Tim, so did you grab one of those bundles for the brownies this dune season or no?

...only because I haven't even really heard of any of the other comedians and also because Kevin James makes me laugh my a$$ off. Jim Breuer is good too, but I can only takle so much of pothead humor.

I'm buying you some wheels chocks for Christmas! Damn, Tim! Sorry- it sucks, but is still funny as hell at the same time. I can just picture you in the seat of your car IN your trailer while you watch the bushes pass by. Gald there was no MAJOR damage or even worse- injuries! I was gonna say something to that effect. bp-guy.....part of the Circus Farkas Family?

You are forgetting something, Steve. There is no friction/ resistance in the free spinning wheels of the plane for the conveyor belt to be able to push it backwards. It won't take full throttle of the plane to keep it from being pushed backwards. Stop thinking of the speed of the wheels OR conveyor belt.

True, but not on a regular basis where you can count on them being there. I have seen many vendors out there in the past, but aren't regulars that are there on every big weekend.

I know, I know. I was curious wtf the link was for though. I definitely found out.

you just ruined my day.

I have heard of services like those, but I have never seen them at Dumont. As for renting quads out there- no. The closest places are gonna be in Vegas. couple places that rent.... http://www.sunbuggyfunrentals.com/ http://www.vegasatvtours.com/

I'm on the fence. Nick just texted me that he needs a drink. lol I'll probably chill at home though. I've got a long weekend ahead of me.

I think I might know what it is.......a waste of time & money????
