Through My Windshield

Sunset

2009-06-06T12:07:00.001-07:00

Just one photo today. A California sunset just off the coast of Monterey Bay.

Truck

2009-05-26T06:15:00.001-07:00

Here are a few pics of my truck, and the dam at Page Arizona.

More from Memorial Day

2009-05-25T16:53:00.001-07:00

Here are a couple more pics. The two officers are the Commaning Generals of the Utah National Guard, and the 96th Army Readiness Commnad (U.S. Army Reserve), and of course Senator Hatch.

Paying tribute to those who have fallen.

2009-05-25T16:48:00.000-07:00

The new memorial in West Jordan Veteran's Park. The monument is for two members of the 211th Aviation Battalion who lost their lives in a training accident near Eagle Mountain. The rifles are for three soldiers who perished in the fighting overseas.

Oregon

2009-03-08T15:34:00.000-07:00

An area I found just off the Columbia River in Oregon. Also, the recent snow at the top of Donners Pass in Ca.

Rainbow

2009-03-04T09:36:00.001-08:00

Just parked for the afternoon, and got out of my truck to see this.

Famous

2009-02-23T16:15:00.000-08:00

Here are a couple of places that you might find interesting. The first is Lorreta Lynn's Cafe, the second is Willie Nelson's Truckstop.

2009-02-21T06:44:00.001-08:00

I've found some signal, and wanted to post a few pics. The frozen lake is Upper Klamath Lake in Oregon. Of course there is Sid surfing the internet. And then a strange pic of the moon rising over Salt Lake. I left the shutter open a little too long with the camera sitting on my car.

Happy Birthday Sid

2008-11-01T09:50:00.000-07:00

We brought Sid on an outing for his birthday. Here are a couple of pics of Little Cottonwood Canyon and City Creek in Memory Grove.

Flaming Gorge

2008-11-01T09:39:00.000-07:00

Here are a couple of new pics from my recent trip to Flaming Gorge. The lake is obvious, but the cabin is where I delivered. I had to back up in to a forest. I didn't want to leave.

Autum is here

2008-09-23T18:25:00.001-07:00

Here are a few pics of Autum up the Provo Canyon.

Our new automotive family member

2008-09-23T18:23:00.000-07:00

Terry has bought and financed her first car, all on her own. It is a 2002 Ford Taurus.

Bridal Veil Falls

2008-09-21T18:41:00.001-07:00

As promised. Pics of the falls. I didn't have time to hike down to the bottom, but I think they are a few good shots. Also included one very large home overlooking Deer Creek.

Birthday for August

2008-09-21T18:33:00.000-07:00

Here are a couple of pics from August's dinner.

Hello again

2008-09-21T18:25:00.000-07:00

It is I once again, the "Lazy Ranger". I have been talked into updating my blog. I didn't realize that people didn't like my foot as much as I do. Oh well, here are some more pics that I have found on my camera. This is some of the stuff I pick up and deliver. The slab in the first three pics was delivered to a Montessori School in West Valley. They put it up, then an artist will come in and engrave the school's logo on the front.

The Results

2008-06-22T17:27:00.000-07:00

Here are the results of dropping a 200-300 lb slab of rock on your foot, for anybody that was interested. I don't recommend doing it.

Looking for help

2008-06-22T09:52:00.000-07:00

I would like anyone to help me design an ice cream maker like this one. It is capable of producing 10 gallons of ice cream at a time.

The Colony

2008-06-22T09:40:00.001-07:00

This is a few pics of a home I delivered to in The Colony, located in Park City. The smallest plot of land in this area is 6 acres, and the land alone starts at about 1.6 million. This home is about 7 million. It sits right at the base a ski lift at the Canyons ski resort. You can't see the home within the trees, but it is there

I'm Back

2008-06-22T09:17:00.000-07:00

I know it has been a while, but I have been out there working. Here are a few new pics. These are just a few shots around Utah. My favorite has to be looking through the boulders over Heber City. There are also two shots of snow in June over Jordanelle.

Uncle Day

2008-04-10T20:11:00.000-07:00

The title tells it all. I got to spend a day being Uncle, and not driver.

Springtime in Utah

2008-04-10T20:05:00.000-07:00

Here are a couple of pics of springtime in Utah.

Guess

2008-04-08T20:47:00.000-07:00

I have been lazy again in posting, so here is a post, and you get to guess where I was. It probably won't be hard.

My Office

2008-03-23T08:44:00.000-07:00

Some days I like my job, and some days I hate my job. But I do LOVE the view through my office window, especially when you are running the Pacific Ocean.

Mount Shasta

2008-03-23T08:22:00.000-07:00

Here is some more California. I went by Mount Shasta, and also discovered a memorial for Veterans. You can see more of this by visiting their site at http://www.livingmemorialsculpturegarden.org/. I hope you enjoy it.

More Parade

2008-03-15T14:57:00.000-07:00

Here is more of the parade. Plus a morbid participant of the parade. I hope you enjoy

St. Patrick's Day Parade

2008-03-15T14:52:00.001-07:00

Here is a few from the parade at the Gateway in Salt Lake. It was a fun parade for as small as it was.

Trains, Trains, and Trains

2008-03-14T16:27:00.000-07:00

Train museum in Utah and California. Both places take old trains and recondition them and refurbish to as close to original as they can. The meseum in California has also built the trains used in Back To The Future III and Memoirs of a Geisha.

Spring Time

2008-03-14T16:21:00.000-07:00

I know I have been a little lazy in posting pics, but now that spring is almost here, I thought I would post a few pics of spring.

Car Show

2008-03-01T21:47:00.001-08:00

This past weekend, I got to go home. We decided to go to the car show to see Virgil from the WWF, and Bumblebee from Transformers the movie. We also got to see The Fonz (Henry Winkler), and Shirley (Cindy Williams) from Laverne and Shirley. I took over 200 photos this day, and have posted a couple that I liked.

The "THING"

2008-02-28T19:00:00.001-08:00

Here is my visit to the "Thing". The original owners found this buried in Arizona, and couldn't figure out what it was. They were curious because it is a Chinese man, but he had be mummified. It is a real expensive place to visit $1.00 entrance for adults and .50 for children. Under six is free. Cool place to spend five minutes.

More California

2008-02-28T18:56:00.003-08:00

Here are a few more pics of Donners Pass. I think this is Lake Donner, but I don't know. I hope you like them.

My bodyguard in California

2008-02-26T14:24:00.000-08:00

Here is a pic of my bodyguard when I am in Stockton. He lives with a guy who works at the factory behind the office I work out of, and he runs loose all day long. I have never seen a Pit Bull act as friendly as this before.

A wild truck ride.

2008-02-19T13:15:00.000-08:00

These are shots from a mistake. I don't think I should have taken this road with a heavy heavy load. Oh well, it's over now. This is the Salt River Canyon between Globe and Show Low Arizona. Beautiful scenes, but the speed through most of the canyon is 25MPH and I felt like I was going to fast.

Sunny Beaches of California

2008-02-12T20:13:00.000-08:00

These are the other beaches of California, up in the mountains near Truckee, Ca. I was on a back highway that was just breath taking. If you ever get a chance to explore Donner's Pass or the mountains around it, I recommend it. I was hoping to get a pic of the lakes out in the area, but there was just nowhere to park.

Colorado

2008-02-09T21:05:00.000-08:00

I was driving through Colorado on I-70, and found these places to take pics. I hope you enjoy them.

Kansas

2008-02-09T21:01:00.000-08:00

Just a quick pic of sunset in Kansas.

2008-02-06T20:26:00.001-08:00

A quick note from your host. Hello. I would like to talk to you about the dangers of photography. This is a bad disease. Once you are infected, there is no cure. The folks at Adobe claim that they are working on a cure, but every time they release Photoshop Elements, the disease increases in severity. Please help those of us that have this disease before it is too late. Symptoms include a camera around your neck, Always talking about that great shot, and of course Photoshop Elements goof off. This last one is recognizable by photos that have been slightly touched up or revamped. Once this last symptom is evident, it is too late. Please help today, call BR549 to help.

Another cool load

2008-02-06T19:10:00.000-08:00

So I was sitting in my truck in a truck stop in Fremont, Indiana which is right on the Indiana Michigan border. Just minding my business, and I saw these two ambulances. I didn't think anythng of it, just enjoying the rainy day, then it hits me, the writing is in Hebrew. These ambulances are heading to Isreal. Kinda cool I thought.

If you click on the pic, you will get a larger image so you can see the Star of David and the Hebrew writing.

My first cool load

2008-02-05T18:52:00.000-08:00

I realize that this is not something strange, or unusual, but it is my first cool military load. This is an M981 Fire Support Team Vehicle. You can read more about it here, http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/m981.htm.

Kentucky

2008-02-04T19:56:00.000-08:00

The day was almost a complete loss. It was raining hard most of the day, so I was about to give up. I decided that I at least needed the rolling hills of Kentucky. That is how I found this old farm house. Let me know what you think of this house.

Arizona

2008-02-01T11:22:00.000-08:00

Here are some shots of the red mountains on the Arizona, New Mexico border in I-40. If you are in the area, stop at the truck stop at the Tee Pee Trading Post, and go to the truck stop and have a Navajo Taco. Indian Fry Bread as big as your plate loaded with chili, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, sour cream and everything else you could have on a taco. It is worth the stop.

Oklahoma Sunrise

2008-02-01T10:58:00.000-08:00

These are shots taken today (2-1-08) of the sunrise over the trees on the Oklahoma Turnpike between OK City and Tulsa.

Las Vegas

2008-01-31T21:05:00.000-08:00

Sin City. I know that I said I would publish shots of places people have probably never been to, but how can you resist this city, especially when you get to meet Criss Angel. If you get a chance, go to the Luxor Hotel, where the Bazaar is, and you will find his shop. If you get to meet him, he is the nicest person, he took the time to talk to everyone, and sign autographs. Just a wonderful person.

Through My Windshield

2008-01-31T21:01:00.000-08:00

A little about this site. It is set up to show you my hobby, Photography. I hope you like what you see. I will post shots that I have taken during my travels around this country. My profession lets me see parts of the country that others have not seen. I hope you like it.
