Sheria would make a great catch!

Today we covered the Roy Moore press conf. In my old stomping grounds Gasden, AL. I was talking to a Police officer about the places my dad would take be as a child. Like hawk hobby shop "it burned" the officer said and like the skateboard place "it got bulldozed" the officer exclaimed, then he said son "your childhood was gone" Then I said "how about Noccalula Falls it has to still be there" He said "It now cost money to get in"
I was cleaning out the back of the satellite truck and found a Frisbee left over from Kids Expo in Albertville. I was going to throw it away then a game of Frisbee broke out between Sheria and Brad. Brad has a blog it can be found here....http://www.photogsandmtn.blogspot.com/

Noccalula Falls website

Andrew Zow and Skylink

I guess since most if not all of the Satellite trucks in the state were at the Talladega Superspeedway this last weekend I had to do double duty at the ala/fla game. I did uplinks for ourselves, CBS 42 and wkrg of mobile. CBS 42 and Wkrg were interviewing former Alabama QB Andrew Zow. He has a sharp bike! I would like to add this afterthought. Mr. Zow attracted quite a crowd after the game, he stayed and shook hands and signed autographs till the crowd was gone.

Skylink turns 200,000

On the way down to the BAMA VS Florida game Skylink surpased the 200,000 mile mark.
thanks Tom for the help!

Pimp my Satellite Truck

Hitting a piece of road debris on the trip back from the cape damaged my exhause system. I got a new exhause system with a little flair.

Babe Ruth World Series

Muscle Shoals did not win the Babe Ruth World Series. I did give them something to aim at. I parked SKYLINK past the outfield fence.
