    VX Madness

    Hey everyone,

    Just a quick note to let you all know I have finished updating my site with a bunch of new photos from our Moab trip and the Reno Mini Meet II. If you are interested, check it out here!

    There are some cool shots, and for any of you who I have personal shots of, if you want high resolution images emailed, just PM me and I will send them!

    L8R!

    Haha! I just love thrashed, rusted, burned out cars in the wasteland. I can't help myself. Its just beautiful to me....

    And hmmm, let's see:

    No Future Productions

    Le Masque à Gaz

    Operation: Penetration

    My Live Journal (I really don't care for MySpace, LJ is much cooler (or nerdier, depending on how you look at it).

    and of course:

    VX MADNESS

    There might be a few more, but I can't think of them at the moment

    In the past I have had numerous other sites, but have since dismantled them. I am TRYING to be on the computer less and less, and Reno is helping with that ALOT. When I lived in Chicago, I tended to get all cooped up in the apartment all the time...the city life became very, very tiresome after a while.

    Oh yeah, I also built these 2 sites for my friend, one of which will get a separate post now that you reminded me:

    4wheelair

    not very proud of, needs a little work:

    PPV

    I have to admit - I was hesitant to click on "Operation Penetration"! That looks like some great fun though. I have gone cave diving before... does that count? Either way, it is freakin awesome to go under ground and have to worm through some tunnel to get to another room or chamber... well hopefully there is a room or chamber anyway!!


    BTW The custom fab shop has to be a good connection to have!

    Yeah, when we were younger that was the "code name" for our "missions" when we went exploring. LOL. I know, it sounds like it could be something vulgar.

    I love exploring. Its quite different here in Nevada, but nonetheless fun. The steel plant was my favorite but the mines were a little scary. We encountered all sorts of spots where the ceiling caved in and the mud was unreal. The kind of stuff that you had to keep moving through or else you would just sink and get REALLY stuck. And GPS does not work underground.
    And talk about dark. One does not know the true meaning of darkness until you have entered a cave or mine. Your eyes kinda freak out after a while hunting for light.

    That site is really outdated, I have a lot of places that I have not updated on there yet. But as you could imagine, it takes a lot of time. Time that I don't want to spend in front of the PC. And on that note, I'm gonna go do something else!

    Bart

    PS - Yes, the fab shot is good to know. Tom is working on a custom wind deflector for my roof basket right now. Which reminds me, I need to check on his progress! My dead Xterra is sitting back at PPV in Chicago still. That thing may one day become a total off road beater, if I ever get around to fixing it.

    Man, that movie started off so good, and then just got plain silly. Some great visuals in there though. Caves are fun, I love bats.

    You gotta love a little danger. There are tons of mines out here in Nevada, but they look like this:



    The sign says, "UNSAFE MINE, STAY OUT, STAY ALIVE"

    Perhaps if it was worded a little differently, I might just explore some of them...

    Hey Bart,

    I was checking out your operation penetration site and wanted to ask if you wear some of the gear, masks etc., for actual safety or just for the imagery?

    Both, but usually just for imagery!
