Should You Hike In 127 Degree Heat?


My crew and I decided to go for a hike in 127 degree heat.  Not the smartest thing to do but we did it.

The Billy Mays bit was not intended to be disrespectful.  Jim, my son and myself are huge fans of his.  This clip came together in the editing room, we did not script it.  We Love You Billy!

Please share your comments below.  Billy Mays or non Billy Mays I just love the comments.

Is A Vacation Really A Vacation?


By now you know that last week was my vacation to Lake Powell.  Every year we make the pilgrimage to Southern Utah where the rocks are red and the temps are high.  If your not careful and you wander to far from the lake, your organs will boil inside you from the heat.  You’ll flop over dead and become buzzard food but that will never happen to me; I’m prepared, I watch “Man vs Wild”

Here are a few shots from Lake Powell

For the last 10 years my wife’s siblings and spouses and kids pile into their trucks and cars and head south to the lake.  10 years ago when I received the initial invitation I had some reservations. The thought of laying around on a boat for a week sounded a little boring.  Lets face it, I’m an action guy, a non stop vacation machine (Just watch the video) and this whole boat idea had its limitations, so I thought.  Here are the “Almost A celebrity” top 10 funny things you’ll discover while vacationing at Lake Powell. It really is one of the best vacations ever!

  1. Little did I know that a few ounces of Mountain Dew in my mother in law and she turns into Jeff Spicoli and ends up on the bow of the boat screaming “I’m the queen of the world.”
  2. I had no clue that a hot dog that’s been sitting in the sun for 7 hours is the preferred meal to a catfish.
  3. Tiny fish will bit your nipples both male and female.
  4. “Hey look at that giant path of stars across the sky.”  Hey genius it’s called the Milky Way.
  5. Fixing things properly usually involves the phrase “Don’t worry that’s Kentucky engineering”
  6. Frozen Otter Pops hold their value better than the US Dollar.
  7. It’s legal to charge an additional $3.00 a gallon more for gas when purchased on the lake.
  8. Conjugal visit is not just a prison term and your preteens will ask what that means.
  9. Its perfectly normal to yell “Hey lady back that thing up” when launching your boat but “Slap that” is not appropriate.
  10. Sasquatch definitely needs to tan his ass. (Click Here)

GoodBye To The King Of Pop – Michael Jackson


In 1983 I sat in the family room on my families farm watching TV from our giant satellite dish.  Back then I loved big haired rock and roll, dreamed of taking over Klaus Meine’s job as lead vocals of the Scorpions and secretly I wanted to be a solid gold dancer.  I’m white, can’t dance but I loved to try.

It all started on that TV set 26 years ago when I watch the Motown 25th Anniversary broadcast.  I was a closet Michael Jackson fan and the media back then rumored that there was going to be something huge that night.  Little did the world know that “Billy Jean” was about to turn the dance world literally on it’s ear and into a different direction.  The following year (1984) “Beat Street” hit the screen and then “Footloose,” the American dance revolution was born.

Even though I was still white, my buddies and I use to but cardboard downstairs in my parents basement and attempt to dance.

Yesterday the world said goodbye to the “King of Pop.”  I too said goodbye privately as I’m sure most of the world did.

I’m sure you heard most of the speakers and friends say “Michael Jackson was a lover of life!”  I want to say that “a lover of life would never take theirs.”

Thanks Michael for letting me think that it was possible to dance.

The World Largest Crack – Non Butt


One of the most beautiful places you’ll find on planet earth is Lake Powell.  Its a man made lake, about 150 miles long in Southern Utah.

Last year my niece and her boyfriend’s family discovered the world largest rock crack.  To get there you have to swim to the ledge and start your climb.  This year we loaded up the kids and the flip mino HD and the Xshot and made the climb.

Special thanks to my brother in laws for shoving my girth to the top.

My Close Encounter With Bigfoot / Sasquatch


The Patterson-Gimlin film is a movie of a Bigfoot creature taken by Roger Patterson and Robert Gimlin in 1967.

Last week on my vacation to Lake Powell in Southern Utah, I was able to capture a Bigfoot or Sasquatch type creature on film.

My brother in-law and I sent the footage to the Bigfoot institute for an analysis from the worlds greatest Bigfoot experts and they agree that this footage confirms the Patterson-Gimlin film.

WARNING – - this is scary close up footage.  Remember I’m “almost a celebrity” I know what I’m doing.   Please use caution when approaching such beasts.

Are You A Technology Addict?


Last week I went on vacation to Lake Powell in southern Utah.   The lake is about 150 miles of red rock and sand and it’s out in the boonies with limited cell phone service and my wifi card would not pick up a signal.

Holy Snikies…… unplugged from the world for 7 days; its that humanly possible?  The answer is yes it is possible but your going to have to do a lot of catching up when you plug back in.

So here’s what happens to me “Almost A Celebrity” when I unplug from the world for (7) seven days.
