No pics handy but it's not too hard to find fossil localities by doing a google search.  start with "fossils nebraska" or "fossil locations your state" and continue to do variations.  Most every state has some sort of fossil beds.

Same deal with minerals.

How did I get into it?  Not really sure, I wanted to find places to ride and it just went from there.

I play guitar and work on quads, I use to race them, but after a crash, i kinda got a little freaked out over racing again, so i only ride the ones i fix up for people, just to test them out and make sure everything is OK with it.

other then that, i am pretty much a boring person, i work on bikes and quads and crap, and play some guitar, and thats it

What no Halo fans in here?

I retired my thumbs.  my id on xbox live is 3imo also. I haven't played in about two months.  I think I am suffering from withdrawal symptons. 

I like to take a break every now and then so I cn forget the boards and make the game more challanging, again.  also the new boards keep comming out and man what a trip, to learn a new board. makes you feel like a newb, again.

I have been playing halo since Halo 1 hit the stores. bettr than any drug out there.

heres a pic of us playing halo in Kuwait. 1.5 weeks before entering Iraq in 03'

the funny thing is that this is not NBC training we didn't know if it was an actual threat or not.  someone called GAS GAS GAS and we paused the game to put on our masks and started playing again.

Not the brightest crayon in the box, but I can still be seen from a distance.  ;P

The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

Hey, I'm just starting, and how much beer do you think I can drink by myself?  I'm going to have to start throwing parties just so I'll be able to make more beer!

I like to dabble in just about everything. I do all sorts of shi!t. I am into IT stuff like computers, networking, Internet, security, etc. I like tinkering with my car and can appreciate a good afternoon of wrenching. Sometimes I play guitar (mostly acoustic, but also electric and can play bass), sort of sing, and write lyrics, poetry, and music. I like to write in general, and I busy myself with taking various classes and courses and learning new things. I like reading science fiction, philosophy, biography, and non-fiction. I like to travel with my GF; we take a lot of little day and overnight trips. I also like going to comedy clubs, concerts, plays, movies, dining out, BBQ's - I love anything with food!  :icon_twisted: Lately I've been pretty busy with work and class and spending time with my girl (she is also my best friend, aww   :kiss3:.
Richard died in a motorcycle accident that was at no fault of his own.  We lost a good friend and good member of this board.  Though Rich may be gone, his legacy will live on here.

I play a Hamer Explorer, a custom Jem and then my 1964 Commadore Acoustic

when at home, i play the explorer and jem through a Peavy bandit 112 (old pawn shop special) but when practicing with a drummer, or doing gigs, i play through Randall Warhead head on Marshall 4x12 with a BOSS heavy metal distortion and some sort of unknown wah.

Its a pretty cool set up,  I am trading my buddy heads because he likes my Randall head and I like his Marshall,

I forgot to put it in my hobbies but I play guitar too.  I haven't picked it up in about 2 years but I've been playing for about 12 years.  I have a Les Paul 1960 Reissue Goldtop, an American Tele, a Peavey Wolfgang, Mexican Tele, Mexican Strat, and a Martin acoustic.

Fender twin, and a Rivera head and marshall cabinet. 

Played in a band for around 7 years through highschool and college but don't really have the time anymore.  Lots of blues based stuff like skynyrd, petty, clapton, SRV, ZZ Top.  Fun times.  :cheers:

I enjoy shooting revolvers, semi-automatic pistols, rifles of many calibers, and shotguns. I also enjoy growing tomatoes, peppers, fishing, boating, swimming, camping and drinking beer. Not necessarily in that order. :) I love to be near or on water whether it be the beach or swamp or lake. I also enjoy cooking. That pleases my wife greatly. :) I am trying to learn how to play the guitar. I can make C, F, and G. :)
Taxes are Good. Millions that have been on Welfare for the last 30 years are depending on you. Also Millions that are coming over the border each year are depending on YOU.
Also taxes will fix our shitty schools and roads that have been broken for 40+ years.

You really don't get it do you???

I just have a Taylor "Big Baby". :(

Taylor makes the best guitars.  So loud.  Such nice action. 
I have a Guild D40 (my graduation present to myself).  I suppose it is the only guitar I'll ever need, but it still ain't a Taylor.
