There's GOLD in them there hills!!

And not enough people take the time to enjoy it!
Virginia City is an awesome little town for kids, adults, bikers and would be cowboys. All the shops up there have their own personalities and if you're up there at the right time you could see anything from a Confederate soldier to an Outlaw riding in on a steel horse. I LOVE THIS PLACE.
My wife Kris and I make it a point to get up there every couple of weeks just to wander around and have some lunch and window shop. Over my vacation we met a couple of SASS members.(Single Action Shooting Society)
Very nice people and SASS sounds like an organization that has a lot of fun too. If you like the old west like I do check out the website at www.sassnet.com

Mt Rose Rules!!

Friday I had a couple of hours to head up to Mt Rose to do some snowboarding. With 15-18" of new powder I figured this would be a great chance for me to try snowboarding for the second time!
Heff (AR Productions) and I met up at about 10am and of course went straight to the bar for some liquid courage and sat down and enjoyed a few cocktails and relished in the moment of being on the mountain early in the day when most everyone was at work.We also ran into weatherman Ron Percivalle from Channel 2. He expressed his concerns for my safety and I assured him I could snowboard better than I did traffic! Hahaha
No Wind, No Crowds, just excellent powder and wide open terrain. Heff skied backwards most of the time filming and laughing when I crashed. If you get a chance go see for yourself. If not here's the AR video:

Ice Love a Parade

I was a drummer in the Rose Parade one year, that was fun. I saw the Hollywood Christmas parade a few times and that was SCARY!! The Sparks Hometowne Christmas Parade is way better than both. In the Rose Parade I had to carry a drum over my shoulder for 100 miles and then fight 4 hours of traffic trying to get home. Cool to say I did it but glad I don't have to do it again!! The Hollywood Christmas Parade is scary because you never know if the drug addict next to you is gonna stab you for your hot chocolate or the homeless guy is gonna use your shoes for a toilet!!
If you haven't been to see the Sparks Hometowne Christmas Parade yet next year check it out!!!
Check the weather before you go if they say it's gonna be cold,...BELIEVE THEM!!!

Valentine M.D.?

My wife goes in for laparoscopy surgery tomorrow. I've gotten lots of thoughts,and prayers from friends family and people that I've met because of The Bill and Connie morning show. My wife is in alot of pain and we both cant wait for her to feel better. When she feels really bad all I can do is tell her it's gonna be O.K.....kinda like when your friend has had too much to drink and they're yakking in the bathroom. My job I guess is to just hold her hair and keep saying "you alright hun?"
I think one of the best things I can tell her right now is that alot of people she doesn't know hopes she feels better soon........I have YOU to thank for that!!!

THANK YOU!

Stopping to smell the roses!!

I'm from California. Born and raised in the San Fernando Valley. Its an hour to the beach, an hour to the mountains and an hour to the lake. Traffic is so bad that if you do want to go to the beach in an hour, the beach that is an hour away is over populated by the dregs of society. A nice beach beach is about two hours away!(50 miles)
My friend Heff and I went for lunch last Wednesday on the bikes because we heard it was gonna be 80 degrees. It was not only beautiful up there at the lake but from his house in Galena it was like 20 minutes. I left the station,... and in 30 minutes I was having lunch in one of the most Beautiful places in the WORLD!
I am so glad I moved to Reno!! California can have the beaches and the traffic I'll take the changing seasons and the Northern Nevada lifestyle any day of the week!!

I just don't like her!!

Did you ever have someone you just didn't like. And then you realized you dont really know why, you JUST DON'T LIKE THEM? This morning I found out I just didnt like someone and I really can't tell you why. This person didn't do anything to me, make me mad or do something that made me not like them,...I JUST DON'T LIKE HER! Maybe I'm that person for you. Do you have someone that you don't like and you don't know why?
My point is this:
Just because I don't like someone even if I don't have a good reason that doesn't make me a bad person. It makes me human.
Like I've always said "Don't hate me cuz I'm beautiful,...hate me cuz I'm an IDIOT!

Growing OLD!!

I am one of those people that can honestly say "I don't regret anything!"
Have I made mistakes? ....NO! Everything happens for a reason. And theres a reason I did it in the first place, so if I never did it,...I wouldn't know any better.
I had the opporitunity to go on a 24 month world tour for a well known 80s Heavy Metal Band and I declined because I was 6 months away from getting married to my wife. I love playing music and entertaining people,...but never once have I said "I shoulda went on tour..."
My marrage is still together and the band broke up a long time ago. Everything that I've been thru makes me who I am today, and as far as running around in Chaps and a G-String.......who says I ever stopped????

p.s.: I still get to play music and entertain people everyday on the radio.

We the BEAUTIFUL people....

There comes a time in every ones life when enough is enough and in this case enough clothing was not enough. I am tired of living in a country where discrimination is acceptable as long as the finger you point is at someone attractive or rich and our personal freedoms are slowly being taken away to appease the pathetic.
Kyla Ebbert was wrongfully discriminated against when she was asked to cover up her smokin hot body on a public flight.
This has nothing to do with the airline,...this has everything to do with the insecurities of another passenger.
When a 650 pound person can wear a bathing suit on a public beach or an acne decorated muffin top with a "tramp Stamp" can walk up and down farmers market un mentioned...but a smokin hot Hooters girl is asked to cover up her great body I've had enough! And I've gotta make a stand.
Are we that fragile of a society that now ATTRACTIVENESS has become offensive? I don't think so. People think that because I get my hair done at a salon I'm feminine. They think that because I'm confident I'm conceited. It's not fair and I'm not gonna take it anymore! In AMERICA we have the right to the pursuit of happiness and if I wanna pursue it in a miniskirt with flat ironed hair,...That's my RIGHT as an AMERICAN!!

Check out the 1970s Southwest flight attendant above,...too hot to fly?

Wedding Party!

Before I get to the blonde waitress that was giving ME free beer all night I guess I should mention the fact that the party Connie threw was so awesome a wedding broke out.
Just casual enough to have fun and just fun enough to celebrate Big B and Connies first night together...I was lucky to be there to share in their big moment!
Like the big annoying step-brother I feel like I've become to Connie I was very happy to see them walk down the aisle for the first time as Mr and Mrs Big B!

p.s. The bartender was smokin hot

Loverboy Rules!!

If you were like me and working for the weekend then you know LOVERBOY was notorious when they kicked ass on Sunday night at the rib cookoff. I was loving every minute of it as they rocked the stage and I thought only the lucky ones were here watching this concert. There were gangs in the street with bald heads and tattoos, soccermoms, hot girls in love and lawyers all singin LOVERBOY tunes thinking this could be the night we all forget about our daily problems and just rock! A huge crowd cheered as these rock anthems echoed over Victorian Square and everyone agreed the kid is hot tonite as Mike Reno belted out the LOVERBOY tunes we all love never missing a note!!
It was almost paradise out there that night watching these guys rock and for anyone who is not man enough to admit they like LOVERBOY,.....turn me loose on them and when its over they'll jump at the chance to see them.
Keep it up guys you rock!

Its a Dog eat Dog world out there

I cant believe O.J. Simpson can go out to dinner in a restaurant, or play a round of golf at a country club. It especially perturbs me that Michael Vick may never have to work another day in his life. Would someone please explain to me why these types of people are getting to enjoy their money even tho as human beings they fall short. I wouldn't serve Rosie O'Donnell a glass of water in my restaurant simply because I don't like her. I wouldn't allow O.J. Simpson inside my business because altho he was acquitted of the murder charges he's enjoying the freedom a court gave him but ignoring court ordered damages in the wrongful death suit.
In my country we have the right to refuse service to people we don't want disturbing the good customers. And in MY country we hold people accountable for their actions. In my country Michael Vick is guilty of being a worthless, third-person-talking, self-righteous, not-my- fault, cowardly, insensitive, never gonna play NFL football again, dog abusing, animal cruelty, lying, hope you get rabies from a rabid dog, BASTARD!
And if he comes into my place of business ON FIRE I wouldn't even spit on him to put him out!

The Next Best Thing

AN ELVIS IMPERSONATOR,...REALLY?..... ANOTHER STUPID-ELVIS-LOUNGE-WANNA-BE IMPERSONATOR WINS THE NEXT BEST THING?!!
You think I'm shallow and stupid, what about these dolts that awarded an Elvis impersonator $100,000 for doing an impression we all did for our parents as kids. If I wanted to let old people that can't let go of their past program what I watch on t.v.,... I wouldn't have put a t.v in my wife's parents room. The fact that an Elvis impersonator won this contest along side of another Elvis, Frank Sinatra and Lucille Ball tells me that the senior citizens have way too much social security money coming in on a monthly basis and need to have some of their money taken away so they won't be able to afford the .99 cents it costs to vote on these freakin' shows. Elvis is dead for a reason...he's 100 years old and his career died long before that. Elvis impersonators may be more stupider than BOOKS!

Books are Stupid

Lets face it ......Books are stupid.
I have good reading skills and good comprehension I just don't like reading. That doesn't make me a bad person and it doesn't make you smarter than me. If anything I've just freed up a lot of my time in this hectic world we live in.
If books were so great they wouldn't give them away for free at the library. It'll cost you 4 bucks for a DVD rental at Blockbuster and 4 bucks to get a beer at the pool party,...I don't see them giving those away for free. That's because they're worth something! If you don't return the DVD after a week they charge you for it....FULL PRICE.
If you don't return a library book after 6 months they fine you .08 cents.....proving my theory: BOOKS ARE STUPID!

Sticks and Stones

Why should I care what you call me? As long as you call me. I've been called everything in the book:
White Trash-I am white and a little trashy
Conceited-Its not conceit if its the truth
Cracker-I am not a food item but I do go great with cheese

If someone is gonna have the lack of social skills and vocabulary to call you a racial slur, by acknowledging the slur aren't you really the one perpetuating its impact? WHO CARES!
Just call me.

Its Hot!!

I was driving to work at 5am this morning and it was 62 degrees. I was drinking hot coffee and trying to wake up and thought, Its kinda cool out right now but if I open my window it'll be too cold.
Is 62 degrees the perfect temperature? Or did the temperature of the coffee make me feel a little warmer? At no time was I willing to take my shirt off and get a suntan or roll down my window for that matter so 62 degrees cant be the perfect temperature.
It was 81 degrees when I got home this morning at 10am. I took off my shirt and watered my apple trees and thought its really nice right now with the breeze of Spanish Springs blowing thru. So was it really 81 degrees that I was feeling or a little cooler cuz of the breeze?
I hate being cold and love being hot however when it's cold I put on a lot of layers in hopes that I never actually cold and when its hot I like to play in the lake or river to keep myself cool.
Maybe there is no perfect temperature.
Maybe its just best that I dont know what the perfect temperature is because if I ever found out and was driving to work at the perfect temperature I'd be thinking

CRAP!....Its the perfect temperature and I'm gonna waste it at work!

is watermelon that good?

It's watermelon season again and that doesn't mean you can now go out and hunt watermelon, what I mean is....This is the time of year where people start eating a lot of watermelon. Every year I get a watermelon and every year I hear somebody say

" I love watermelon,....If I was ever stranded on a desert Island and could only bring one food I'd bring watermelon."

Is watermelon that good? If I was stranded on a desert Island and could only bring one food I'd bring a Bully's Sports Bar! Seriously! I like watermelon just as much as the next guy but if I could plan for my desertion an an Island, Id plan on being stranded on an Island with a Bully's.

"No dude,...you get stranded and you are only allowed to bring one food with you." they say.

Who's regulating what food I can bring If I'm stranded? That just makes me think that all of a sudden I'm not actually stranded. I've actually just been kidnapped by a person who wants to know what kind of melon is my favorite.

I like watermelon however I don't like watermelon enough to give up my freedom so some wacko kidnapper can put me on a desert island just to find out what kind of one food diet I'd prefer to eat until a ship finally finds me with a 3rd degree sunburn.

Watermelon is great but don't put me in a scenario where I have to choose the only food I'm allowed to eat. Kidnappers take note........The island you put me on better have a Bully's.
