Prepare to get owned...
If you can't tell what I am sitting on... don't worry about it... BUT, if you do know what I am sitting on... be jealous...
Two years ago...
Yeah We make the mini-bikes from scratch... (I'm the idiot with his hand in the air)
And this time last year...
Not working and not having to shave was kinda awesome...

Look in the center, the building on the left was the house my Pops started building by himself in 1978. We had 108 acres of land there that went from the road to the creek at the bottom of the hill. When it snowed (3-6 feet) my Pops would make a sled trail for us kids that we could do *maybe* twice in a day, it was that long.. I was born in Portland and we officially moved out to the boonies when I was 2 in 1979. We lived there till about 1987-88 when we moved out to the OR coast (Manzanita) for 2 years and then moved to Hilo, HI till I came to this fine place in 1997.
Nobody caught my "half a Subaru" comment unless I missed it... My dad used to rebuild cars and he did a lot with Subarus. We had the front half of an old Sedan ('83 or so) which he made skids on the back and put a fuel tank under the passenger seat. Rode rough but was funny as hell to see the looks... The cleared area to the right of the other building was the 'yard which contained about 25 Subaru parts cars from 1974 to 1984. My jorb as a kid was to retrieve parts my pops asked for (lil red wagon and all) as well as getting them running w/out keys when I was about 5. I have a pic of me welding @ age 6 somewhere, got to find it. I did my first Suby engine swap at 8yrs old.
Now the property is still owned/operated by the people who bought it back in '88 using the same deisel-electric power system that my dad designed and built (wrote books about it, can get them on Amazon) and they are using it as an organic foods farm that actually supports a few nice restaurants in Portland.
I love Portland too, and we are up there for Christmas this year. Then out to the coast to Manzanita for a few nights.

Utah is also beautiful. When I was applying to grad schools U of U offered me a full ride, but I'd have to agree to live and work in Utah for a few years after graduation which I wasn't so into. I still kick myself sometimes for not doing that!
That's why I threw the quotes around "grown-up",
