Round 1 – My Summer vacation was nothing but R&R with some concerts sprinkled in here and there. To start, we ended up driving down to Vegas to check off a bucket list item; see Rammstein live in concert! This german industrial metal band has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid and at 32, I finally got to see them! Nothing but rock and pyrotechnics. It was also my first time being sober in Vegas! This time I actually remembered my trip! Part of my commitment to sobriety, my wife and I have taken up fostering for our local SPCA. We ended up adopting one of the fosters and named him Higgins. When we weren’t taking care of animals, we were hanging by the pool. That’s what Summer is all about!
After taking our seats at the T Mobile Arena in Vegas, we were surrounded by a ton of dudes who were drunk beyond belief. One of whom ended up puking all over the seats behind us. Luckily, none of it got on us and the cleaning crew was quick to remedy the situation.
Rammstein takes the stage!
Visually and musically, one of the best shows I’ve seen!
This band is known for their pyrotechnics. For this particular song, the singer and two guitar players wore flame throwers as masks.

On our way back home from Vegas, we thought we’d check out this art installment off the main highway before leaving Nevada. Not pictured is a huge family posing for pictures for a drone… that was more exciting than the colored rocks.
As mentioned in the intro, we adopted a new cat. Bringing our zoo total to 5 cats and 2 dogs. 3 of the cats are mostly outdoor so it’s not so bad. Meet Higgins!
Here we have Higgins helping me do some production work for the show.
Higgins being an idiot.
More dumbassery from Higgins.
These 2 kittens are some fosters from our local SPCA. Who knows, if you adopt an animal from the Placer SPCA, it could have been fostered by a pseudo celebrity.
Here’s Walter the dog interrupting my staring contest with the ceiling.
This is one of our indoor/outdoor cats, Mozart… or Mo.
Recently it was brought up that my wife is moonlighting a beauty parlor out of our house and Amanda invaded my house to get some eyelash extensions put in.

Nothing better than a big pool on a hot Summer day… put a smoking hot ginger in the pool and it’s even better.
