My Hike At Anna Page Park

Anna Page Park

My hiking videos are posted below

My first hike at Anna Page Park on March 24th 2012

I decided to choose this park, because I seen a lot of geocaches there. My original goal was to go geocaching. But after i got there, i realized my GPS wasn’t working in the park. So I decided to go for a hike.  When I first drove in, I had no idea where to go. I seen to the right, was the frisbee golf area, so i went left. I drove past what looked like a maintenance shed, and kept going and found a parking area down a lil further on my left. So I parked there. I seen a walking path and decided that was the path I was going to take. It was an easy to moderate path, mostly easy. It was muddy at times from the recent rainfall we had. But there was a few things that got my attention. A lot of fallen trees, a stuffed animal in a tree, bright yellow flowers in the middle of the woods, and sadly a place where a young man lost his life a few weeks earlier from a snowmobile accident. It was a fun hike. It looked like it was going to open up and rain at any time, so I was trying to hurry a lil bit, because i didn’t want my equipment to get wet.  So I wish I could have spent a lil more time there. But overall, it was a fun hike. New places are always fun. I plan on going back out here more this year.  I would rate my hike as a 7. I give it a 7, because it was fun and seen a few interesting things. But there was a lot of mud and fallen trees and i was kind of in a rush.

About to post one of my most epic crashes on IRacing.

About to post one of my most epic crashes on IRacing.

Story: Earlier in the race, this guy decides to wreck me. So, this game is realistic. So needless to say my handling on the car was very poor. And the rest of the race sucked. And then this happened. Watch how close I come to nailing the pit wall, before the straightway! Then the epic crash, LOL.

I hate crashing, but this one was epic lol.

787 and WWE Airplane at same airport

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2012

I was lucky enough to attend the WWE event tonight and had lots of fun with my brother.  After the show, I knew the WWE jet was going to be taking off and I heard a 747-8 was going to be there as well. The 747-8 was cancelled, and Boeing brung in a Boeing 787 for a flight into Rockford!  So, I got to video a VERY RARE sight! The WWE Private Jet and also a Boeing 787 at the same time!  Talk about a good night. Attending the WWE event and then seeing their private jet and a 787 at the same time.  An awesome night in deed!

Well the funeral went well, as well as a funeral could go I should say.  Met some of my wifes family that I never met before.  But I can say,  I really felt underdressed.  They were all super well dressed. I do not own a suit, so I had to wear a dark shirt and dark pants.  Everyone else was in suits.  Talk about an akward moment, lol.  But it was all good, cuz they were all nice. I got to talk a bit to my wifes cousin, who is a pilot for Southern Air, he is a pilot of a Boeing 777 and flies Internationally.  Kinda weird talking aviation during a funeral, but was still an awesome conversation.  He even gave me a photo of him inside the engine, the photo was taken from the cockpit looking back into the engine. And his arms were spread out, and he was unable to reach the outer parts of the engine. Really neat photo.

 

I went for a hike today at Rock Cut, enjoyed some time to myself. The weather was nice, so I decided to go for a hike.  It was fun, did my 365 photo for the day as well. But I wasn’t thinking, and forgot when theres warmth, theres melting. So, it was a muddy and wet hike. But still a fun one. I got to get out for some fresh air, get some exersize, and see nature once again. Its been awhile. I can say, things do look bare and blah, during the winter. No leaves on the trees, hardly any wildlife, and really quiet in the forest. A whole new experience from hiking during the summer times.

 

Its been a rough week for everyone, so i haven’t did much with my websites. But now everything is done, I can refocus back on my websites.  I made the forum on Rockford Scanner public now. I did have chat rooms, but decided to hold off on those awhile.  And just stick with the forum to see how that goes. My admin Alex, made the news. He was able to capture on his cell phone, video of a robbery suspect chase, and was able to video the capture of him.  Below is the video, Way to go Alex!  And Thanks to the local media outlets that showed the video.

So we got some snow, some decent snow. Around 7 inches or so.  It is nice to see, but really fucking sucks having to shovel it!  I didn’t mind too much, because it was the light fluffy snow. But the shitty part was, when they plowed my road and all the wet and heavy snow they piled up at the end of my fucking driveway!  That sucked!  Nothing like shoveling the driveway all nice and clean, just to have a damn city plow come put a lot of heavy snow at the end of my driveway.

 

I been working on a 365 Project ~ Check it out! 

 

 

I made this video, and the Weather Channel featured it on their show!
