Zeus!

So, where I come from the best you see are backyard bred pitts and perhaps a large American Bulldog from good lineage. I've never seen a Bandog before - these things are hybrid dogs (typically) comprised of Mastiff & Bulldog. Below you see Zeus, an incredible specimen of such a dog. Click on him to see some pictures of him in action!


WOW! Talk about drive and passion! Z is an intense dog who hits the agitator as hard as any K9 I have seen! The handler is lucky to have such a rock-solid dog! I wish the pictures did actually did Zeus justice - the only way to capture his true power and drive is via video-camera. Next time I see him in action, I'll try and grab some footage!

While researching Bandogs, I came across this Bandog Mastiff blog, which provides links to indepth studies of Bandogges and the like.

Yet another tactical beverage!

WTF is this company thinking?

Admittedly I bought it, and drank one -- no energy kick (see ingredients) and it tastes like a Flintstone vitamins mixed with Lavoris.

Bleah. But it is in Camo!

Early this am I spied...

My pups and I are going camping/hiking this weekend -- where?

Here:




While packing our lightweight BOB kit, both beasts and human will become load-bearing creatures during this excursion. Am I psyched? totally!

The 4 am wake-up, well that leaves me less than pumped, but still, the day is going to be fantastic!

If you are curious about more details of where we will be, check out these pics.
I'll be keeping it real on the local repeaters , and it'll be amusing to see how well my Vx5r battery handles being used for many hours straight--I'm sans solar-roll this trip and my desired pack weight is 25lbs. Funny how much of that is anti-bear/cougar gear and bottled water....

If I can be reached, I'll be found on the following repeaters:

W6YJO Santa Ynex Peak 144.58/145.18
K6TZ Santa Ynez Peak 222.52/224.12
PL 131.8

Once we are back, I'll write up how we fared while trecking with our LW BOB.

something lame because it's late and I'm tired

This is perhaps the most tactical drink I have ever consumed.
It's not really good, it really isn't an energy drink, and it cost me .60
at a dollar store.
Turbo-Tactical Goodness! YUM!
