love for ax men

I swear, we could watch nothing but the History Channel in my house and get by just fine. We watched the most recent episode of Ax Men tonight and, I've gotta tell ya, I'm disturbed every time they show a computer-generated accident scenario. James loves 'em and laughs every time. Kind of morbid, ain't it?

We agree that the S&S Aqua Logging operation could have been left out. That father and son operation is messed up, and a bunch of con men, to boot! How about those stolen Hoquiam River logs, eh?

While I don't have a favorite crew, I do have a few favorite loggers. That Levi Brown is a handsome fella (and I like his name, too), Dustin Dethlefs (DooWap) is a cool kid who's pretty level-headed, and his Daddy, Dwayne Dethlefs, keeps us in stitches. So maybe I do have a favorite crew - they're all part of Pihl Logging, who as of this writing, are in second for the log load count with 275.

Next week is the season finale and then it's on to Ice Road Truckers!

carl edwards - the flip camcorder

So now I feel like a big dork. Well, sorta. I wanted to replace our dinky Kodak EasyShare with a new lightweight digital that also shoots video. Lo and behold, a Nikon Coolpix landed in my lap on Mother's Day. Cool, huh? :) And then I'm stalking Carl Edwards (not really, but he's a cool guy and I was checking out his website - http://www.carledwards.com/) when I saw this fancy shmancy, handy little diddy. Think I'd like to trade in the Nikon on a Carl Edwards signature Flip!

Holy Smoke! Didja know you can completely personalize that little sucker? I love Carl Edwards and his smooth back flip, but I created quite the beauty for myself. Now who's got $229 I can borrow?
