nice x u got there daniel
 






It's far from being done yet. =P
 












I've been wanting to move to Anchorage for awhile now, but I'm kinda going through some stuff right now. If I stay in AK, Anchorage is where I'll be when I move.
 






Made a quick little video, this is actually from xmas night 07.
It's nothing special.. shows a little bit of Fairbanks.



Note: Just so you all know, the beeping is my radar detector.. which is an Escort Passport 8500 X50 Blue LED Screen.
 












God! There is NOTHING in Fairbanks! I don't understand the point of the city! There is more to do in North Pole(north pole is a city 10 miles out of fairbanks) then Fairbanks! Ugh!

Fairbanks, you need to move to Anchorage...

We have, everything here in Anchorage. The only thing were missing is a hard rock cafe.

Also you need a better song playing :)
Red Hot? I know the words HaHa!
I think it is Red Hot? Since my coma I have been hard up for rembering band names :( But they are a good band but they drain my mood but thats IMO haha....
 






The North Pole!

You guys live near the North Pole?? Do you see the Aurora Borealis? Is it really like they show on tv? We live near a sewage reclamation plant, a freeway, and a military base. Oh, and a beach - half the time the water quality is questionable.
 






There is a lot more to do in Fairbanks than North Pole, you're exaggerating horribly.

Yeah, sometimes we'll see the Aurora Borealis, looks nice.
 






I didn't know this...

FYI - Now that you're elite you can upload picture to your own gallery with albums you can create. That way you don't have to "attach" them anymore, and can get more than 4 or 5 per post.

So I'm doing mine the wrong way??
 






He's telling you (me) you can create a photo album and link your photos to the posts from the albums.. it's a lot cleaner and easier.
 












Nice video too! How's the vehicle treating you?
 






Fine for now...lol..

It's running. I just re-did my cb setup, got my neons wired in..
 






You all drive in the snow like we drive in the rain... fast! That's gotta be a nice place to live... that would be ideal for me, except the beeping - that many cops around? You can't have detectors here, you all are lucky...

my cb wasn't working because the stereo never shuts off, so i have no idea what to do except move it or unplug the radio antenna? any suggestions?
 






I drive faster than I did in that video, most of us do here.. I guess we're so used to it.
I've raced many dualies around, they love racing.
The beeping you heard throughout the video were false alarms I neglected to mute.

I don't quite understand your problem with the cb..

That cross traffic was flying! But it's normal, you guys are accustomed to it. and the roads aren't frozen over, so it's all good.

i'll explain it after i try to move the cb...

(i gotta split, i'll talk to you later, thanks!) take care!
