Last week a friendly snake came through the yard. I don't know what kind of snake this is but it was fairly friendly. 

Spring is here! Look at these images from the garden.  

At the Sparks Marina, Reno Mountain Sports had a Kayak test event. This is where you can test out all the newest kayaks available. The event stated there would be 75 different Kayaks but I only saw about 25-30. No worries! I had plenty of time on all different types and found several that I thought would fit my needs. Here are several images from the event. Here are the main tents that had event checkin and different vendors. This is the event from the water.Dean came to the event as did James and his family. They took some great images of me and my daughter. Having a great time. I would like one of these for my birthday.

Kayaking on the Sparks Marina. James got a kayak this last year and called me down on Sunday to take it for a spin. I am getting ready to splash James on shore. Here is James showing his skills at paddling and lifting.  

I had the muffler replaced last weekend and here is a shot of the split. Shorty said that it was from a backfire. Hmmmm 

The exaust sound was not sounding good, I took it in to see about a new mufflers. In this second shot you can see the problem. The side of the muffler is completely ripped open. This is kind of a bad photo, from the Motorola razor phone, but I think you kan clearly see the problem. The question is Magnaflow or Flowmaster? They are getting the parts and going to let me hear the diffence on the car. Cool.
