During the summer months when school was out, Rick, Jim Jones and I worked as a motorcycle stunt team in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Oppenheimer and the other scientist would need some relief after doing 'some kind' of research. We would load up our Harley 45's in the truck and go up for the weekend and do seven shows a weekend. Rick was the driver in this picture and I would balance atop Ricks head and Jones shoulders. After the shows we would drink into the early morning hours and then start all over again. Hey, the pay was great. We could each make like $40.00 for the seven shows. After several months Rick bought a ranch in Taos and I bought a cabin in Red River. Jones bought more beer and a Boston terrier.

Spam and rudeness will not be tolerated. We're here to have a few grins, and if you can't abide, move along. Did I mention Spam? Because if I didn't, here it is. NO SPAM!! That includes saying you like our blog and it's thought-provoking (which we know is a lie) and here's a link to your blog. Basically, if you link post a link to a for-profit site without the express written consent of me or the Big Vance-a-rino, I'll delete your comment and you'll look like an ass or I'll mock you mercilesly for being a dork.
~Peace & Love,
Rick

Old Oppenheimer used to invite us back to the lab to smoke marihuana in his radio-isotope cooled Neutron Bong.
ReplyDeleteThis combination of radioactivity and pot led to phenomenal growth. What can't be seen in this shot is that we are all 50 feet tall. Also, that's not a Harley I'm piloting, but Oppenheimer's Top Secret Neutron Bong. (It was designed to destroy the brain, but leave the body standing.)
Oh, for Jesus!
