  1. You could head out to the Hualapai Tribe area with the family for outdoor tours. A buddy of mine has done a multi-day hike there but apparently there's a long waiting list for permits to do that.

    Here's the Havasu falls (3.5hrs from Vegas. Maybe go out there, do stuff, spend the night, do more stuff, and head back)

    I've been down there a few times and it's absolutely gorgeous, but it's not something you can do as a day trip from Vegas. It's about a 12 mile hike each way down the canyon to the falls from the trailhead. If you can get permits it is worth doing as its own trip though.

  2. I've been to tons of shows but there are a few that have really stood out.

     

    Aerosmith- Even after all these years they still put on a great show and sound good.

     

    Muse- As mentioned before, awesome production.

     

    Rob Zombie- Saw them do their festival size show in a 1500 person venue.

     

    Guns N' Roses- Wish I could have seen them back in their prime, but I saw them last month in Phoenix and they were great. I left the show thinking "now that' how's to do a rock concert!"

    Just bought tickets to go see Highly Suspect next week, I hear they put on a good show.

  3. My first car was a 91 Mitsubishi Eclipse but I really wanted its big brother,the 3000GT. So worked my ass off my junior and senior years in high school and bought a 92 3kgt VR-4 after I graduated. As another teen in the F&F era I wanted a Supra and RX7 too, and I got both. Had a 94 Supra turbo then a 94 RX7.

  4. Snapped a couple crappy cell phone pics of the F40 and Diablo 6.0 today. Both, at least cosmetically, looked pretty good in person. The mesh panel between the tail lights on the Diablo was dented in but looked like it could bent back into place fairly easy.

  5. I was fortunate enough to work at a pretty decent pet store in Middle School and High School. I primarily dealt with the Saltwater Livestock and loved every minute of it. I am not kidding when I say it took me over a year to find the Red mate. I was calling our distributors struggling to find one and it took forever.

     

    As for the live to dry food transition I had 2 things that helped. First I have a thriving 55 gallon reef. Not very big but it was WAY overstocked with corals and the like. I did copious water changes to keep everything in line but that is for another discussion. Anyway I had over 75 pounds of legit Fuji liverock that was crawling with goodies. I also had Mandrins that loved live brine shrimp. I started mixing in frozen brine with the live and they started eating that too. Before I knew it they would take Tetra flakes.

     

    Hope it helps!

     

    It doesn't help that I live about 70 miles from the nearest decent saltwater fish store, it took me two months just to find somebody with a healthy looking Green in stock. I have two culture tanks and a small refugium to help keep my copepod population up but I haven't tried live brine shrimp yet. I'll have to give that a shot.

  6. I had a mated pair of Red Mandarin Dragonets back in '01. I even got them to eat flake and other dry foods instead of only live food. They would lay eggs but they would never hatch. Was still pretty cool to watch. Took forever to get the red female in at the pet store. I kept calling our suppliers and finally got one...man was I a nerd!

     

    I was looking for a Red but wasn't having much luck finding one locally. It is a lot of fun to watch them buzz around hunting for pods although I am hoping to get her to accept flake or frozen food too.

  7. I added a Green Mandarin Dragonet to my saltwater tank a couple weeks ago. Not very rare but really cool looking.

    -Not my photo, little guy wouldn't hold still for a pic but looks really close.

  8. Prayers sent to the families. I talked to a few of them and a crew down from Montana helping with the Doce fire just a little over a week ago. Those guys have been very busy latley, it has already been a bad fire season this year.

     

    A few pics of what these guys were dealing with a couple weeks ago
