My New Chase Vehicle…version 2.0

After much deliberation, test driving, and flip flopping I finally pulled the trigger on a new car last night.  This baby was not cheap either and will have me living on the ‘mayonnaise sandwich’ diet for a minute but it is totally worth it!  This is my first ever brand new car as well.  I [...]

Cowboy Up Pardner

Howdy folks, yeehaw, and all that good ol’ boy stuff.  Yuup, the one and only Justin McKee (Vs PBR announcer) stopped by the shop tonight to do some voiceovers and he was kind enough to let me take a goofy picture with him.  Normally I would reserve this post to the Vegablog but me in [...]

July 17, 2010 – Let Down Out East

We decided to head out to northeast Colorado today despite the heat where a few ghost town websites advertised a bunch of abandoned towns with photog opportunities galore.  Uhh, the websites were wrong and outdated.  That’s not to say we didn’t find any abandoned buildings but the information on one particular website was completely false [...]

July 10, 2010 – London Mine & Paris Mill in Park County

Today I headed up to the mountains with Brian and Carl to do a little photography trip to a few abandoned mines up in Park County.  The trip was a pretty good success although I think I’m still trying to dry out!  Jeans and rain soaked meadows are not a good combination.  No one to [...]

Well, Chasercon 2010 is over and it was definitely an interesting experience.  It was the first I attended and I came away fairly impressed and had a good time.  I finally got to meet some people who I’ve only seen their websites or seen posts from on Stormtrack, so it was nice to finally put [...]

The Greensburg Trip: Write Up & Photo’s

Whew!  What a hell of a road trip!  I’ve got a 20 minute mini documentary of my trip ready to go but I’m having some encoding issues and hope to have it up by tomorrow.  In the meantime I thought I would at least post my write up of the trip and put all of [...]

SDS Kicking In…I’m Having Tornado Nightmares

Oh man, I really need to chase something!  I know my SDS (Storm Deprivation Syndrome to my non-chasing friends) is bad when I start having multiple tornado nightmares.  I rarely remember any dreams that I ever have, but the one last night involving a tornado in Parker was extremely vivid.  I dreamt that I was [...]

Final Thoughts on Balloon Boy

At first I thought the media calling this kid “Balloon Boy” was pretty funny.  I mean, how could that not make you think of the “Bubble Boy” from Seinfeld?  And sure, the media coverage of this story is finally dying down but what does strike me as concerning is the fact that this guy is [...]
