That's some knock down power right there. Great for close range protection. Gotta be hard to hit a target down range.

Just saw this vid earlier this afternoon.

An International Harvester Scout II that I built from scratch out of spare parts lying about my garage:









I take it cool places like Death Valley, Canyonlands, etc. Fuel injected 392 cid, 10:1 V8. Measured 417 HP & 441 ft-lb on a chassis dyno at 8,000 ft elevation in Evergreen, CO. VERY flexy custom suspension, dual Detroit lockers, 4-wheel discs, full-floating rear end. I also run it in truck pulls from time to time.

Also partial to overgrown German dirt bikes:



to get me places like this:

Well I spend a lot of time snowboarding in the winter and skating in the summer. I am an instructor at the local resort here. It is a terrible resort and I don't make any money (probably break even) but it is fun and there are some perks like free tickets to other resorts.

I also like to mess around with technology. I am currently working on a website. When I make some good progress on it, I will post the link. I'm also looking into Android development. My day job is actually a network engineer for an ISP/telco company.
