HAPPY DAY FOR GIVING OF THANKS

Why do we celebrate Thanksgiving... well, I'm not going to bore you with alot of jibber jabber about being thankful and why you should. If you don't know that already, that's your fault.

(P.S. I'm thankful for spell check)

Just remember, when things get ugly (like the economy, taxes, relationships, ect.) Life ain't so bad. There are loads of little stuff that make it all worth while.

Like this...

or this...

wall of beer! 

The A-team van makes me thankful that not all vans suck.

Funny animals always brighten the day

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Wyoming... The 307... better than your State?

The 307 doesn't really get much credit for anything. Hell, the big city weathermen often completely skip the whole state of Wyoming (even when we are getting crazy blizzards and the like). I blame it on a couple things.
1. Low population. I personally love this fact and no offense to anyone, I hope it remains a feature of 307 for...ever.
2. The rest of the nation doesn't respect Wyo because they think we still live in the 1900's.


All that aside, its always interesting to me to hear the things that "foreigners" (non-residents) have to say about us. "do you still ride horses everyday," "do you have the internet" are common questions I have been asked. I always reply yes to even the weirdest questions, just to get a rise out of them.


But, little do they know how cool and powerful this state is. Here's some reasons why the 44th state is so swell.


1. We have a crap load of "Minuteman" Nuclear Weapons that sit and wait patiently to protect your sorry ass state from rogue countries and evil doers.


2. Not only is Yellowstone the most stunningly beautiful National Park in the entire country, but it is also a Super Volcano ( like if a volcano and Superman had a baby) which could literally end the WORLD! but it probably won't go off, so don't worry.


3. The outdoors life style here kicks the s&*% out of those over crowded over priced over regulated mountains, parks, waterways, and resorts that are in other "fancier" states. (you know who you are)


4. We literally "power the nation". Literally. The amount of Coal, Coal Bed Methane, Natural Gas and Oil that comes out of the 307 is making sure that when you drive your Prius to Starbucks, they have enough electricity to make your Grande skinny lowfat vanilla double shot latte, just the way you like it.
(don't forget to check out our Powering the Nation T-shirt and Hoodies)


5. We aren't California.

6. If it weren't for this State, you wouldn't have light bulbs. ex. A "In 1878, Thomas Edison was camping in Wyoming when someone accidentally knocked a bamboo fishing pole into a campfire. He noticed its resistance to burning. When he went back to his lab in New Jersey, he proceeded to produce millions and millions of light bulbs with bamboo filaments, until he got the bright idea that tungsten worked even better." (the heroes club)

7. We have the single most tax friendly climate of all of the 50 states. How do you like that New York.

8. Little known fact, Not all of us are gay cowboys. In reality some of us are neither gay nor cowboy. See, you learn something new everyday.

There are many more, I could keep listing all night. But finally and least important, is Wyoming's deep history in the motion picture world.

Here is a list of just some of the ground breaking films shot in or about Wyoming. And other not so ground breaking...

Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)

Shane (1953)

Rocky IV (1985)

Starship Troopers (1997)

Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle (2000)

Dances With Wolves (1990)

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)

The Outlaw Josey Whales (1976)

Every Which Way But Loose (1978)

The Plainsmen (1936)

The Big Sky (1952)

So, pretty impressive for little 'O Wyo huh. Anyway, whether or not Wyoming is better than your State, the people here love it, are happy to have you visit, and we are always proud to be from the 307.

Its cold outside...

REMEMBER...

Its getting cold out and the weather is getting crappy,

The roads will be slick and deer are on the move...

so...

REMEMBER

Drive safe "the life you safe could be mine" - James Dean

This has been a public service announcement brought to you by Stalick Brothers L.L.C. and the Original 307

How to Get rid of an Old TV a.k.a. count the OMGs

Speaking of Explosions...

What do you do when you need to get rid of an old TV....

answer: 2lbs of tannerite, a hunting rifle, and a camera.

CAUTION: This video is not for the faint of heart or sensitive sensibilities. contains vulgarity and violent explosions. and Hilarity!





I may or may not have said "oh my god" a few times. haha

 Wyoming stress relief... who needs a squishy stress ball when you have these.

Sunday Drive in the 307

One of the greatest things about Wyoming is the traffic. At one point in my short life I lived in the City of Denver. Without getting into my list of dislikes about "D-town" the main thing that made me question my residence there was how horrible it is to drive around. I love driving around... pretty common trait of a car guy. In Wyoming, its easy to forget how fortunate we are to have the wide open spaces and scenic roadways. Days like yesterday remind me of this.

 
Going on a drive Its a relaxing thing for me, a sort of meditation. When all the stress of life gets too heavy to bear, a little cruise seems to clear the mind and re energize the soul.

Yesterday was no exception. I can feel the change in weather coming in my bones. My mind told me, "take this opportunity, because it might be the last". So with my best friend "Duese" the black lab, I hopped in Anabelle at about 5 p.m. and went for a little drive.

Heres "Anabelle" at a show in Cheyenne.

My trusty side kick Duesenberg a.k.a. "Duese"

I had spent the about an hour before the drive finishing up photographing the Women's hoodies. I shot the Men's the night before with a good friend of mine.

I needed the drive.

It hard to explain how it feels. Sorta like time traveling



This video was from earlier this year, but it kinda gives you the idea.

After I got back from the drive feeling refreshed and all around happier, I pulled my old car into the shop, unloaded Duese and went about locking the place up.

I opened the front door and Duese (having done this before) took off after a doe deer. For a littler Lab, he's pretty quick, but he always gives up after about forty feet. Me thinking nothing of it I turned around to lock the door and heard a strange noise. A mix between a growl and a whine. I spun around to find Duese hackled up and half cowering ten feet from a Whitetail Buck standing on its hind legs. Naturally I yelled and my little puppy tucked tail and ran behind me. I stepped forward to run the buck off... and then He stepped forward. After a stare down reminiscent of gunfighters in an old west movie, the buck turned and hopped away. I'm not sure who was more freaked out, me or Duese (I have never seen one be so aggressive). Needless to say Duese learned a valuable lesson. Don't Mess with animals that are bigger then you (especially during mating season). I learned that its important to relax from time to time and enjoy the things that make you happy. so all in all, thank god for old cars, loyal dogs, and this wonderful place we call the 307.




(side note: I'm fighting a cold so I hope this makes sense, ;) )

Saturday random stuff... enjoy

Saturday Morning can be a bit slow moving. especially if you spent the night before burning the candle at both ends. Luckily for you... I didn't.

So lets start the weekend off with some randomness to brighten the mood.

Words can not describe this...

NEW Snuggy for volcanos!

the by product of genetic engineering. Cross bred Llama with silk worm.

I made the same face the first time I saw Llamaworm

Not so sure I agree with McDonalds approach to reaching out to inner city "youfs"

overkill? maybe over accessorized

hunting in Narnia doesn't always end this well.
