I can think of easier ways to change the oil, but they aren't as awesome as this!

A major windstorm knocked this tree over right next to my church in Coeur d'Alene.

I would have liked to see this happen...I do feel sorry for the guy who owns this truck...but still.

Merry Christmas!!

This is WAY too high

You Are 4% Nerdy

You are definitely not nerdy - in fact, you probably don't know any nerds.
You probably care a little too much about your image. No one will know if you secretly watch Star Trek reruns!

How Nerdy Are You?

Post Test Road Trip

2006-11-25T16:02:00.000-08:00

After Tests a few weeks ago we went a rad road rage trip.

This is going up highway el numero uno along the coast. It was beautiful.

We we went to the world's end, and looked at it

Then we hung out by the Golden Gate Bridge. (apperently a popular place for suicide, I didn't feel the draw myself)

Then we had to go to Ghirardelli square and get some ice cream!

Finally we played volleyball in Santa Barbara again, cause we love it.

Now we have tests again, coming up in a week. I look forward to the time after tests, cause I'll be home with my family and friends and I'll be skiing.

This is what you get when you play volleyball in the sand.....sand that has rocks....rocks that suck. The lesson here is to have better calices before playing in the rocky sand.

Postlude: Played volleyball again, but this time in sand of kitty-litter quality. The now week old blister lysed open in the front and kitty-litter sand packed between the old dead skin and the new supple skin . I was forced to operate. Anyway, this picture is real old and I'm all healed up now. Remember to build up your calices!!

What to do, what....to do?

Med-school is great, but there are just too many options and I cannot decide what field I should go into. So I came upon this chart, and I think it will help me out.

Inquotable Quotes

2006-10-09T23:32:00.000-07:00

As a tribute to my brother Mark Janke I have amassed a few quotes from one of our funnier teachers....Dr. Buchholz. Mark first told me about recording teacher's comments out of context (severely in some cases) in order to stay awake in class and see the humor in life. I gotta tell you, it worked beautifully because it got me through 5 courses from Dana Thompson at Walla Walla College. By course 5 I could have just gone down my list and checked the Thompson's quote off again whenever he used the same quote, but I digress.
Now I'm STILL going to school and I've been quoting this teacher, not to stay awake (that is rarely a problem since I don't want to fail and owe the school my soul), but to help me remember whatever it was he was talking about when he said it and still to see the humor in life. We'll see if it workes.

And now a few Inquotable quotes from our Pharmacology teacher Dr. Buchholz.

4) The two most exciting days in boating are 1. the day you buy the boat and 2. the day you dump the dang thing off a cliff.

3) I've taken a lot of eyeballs out when I worked for the eye bank. (Cholinomimetic drugs)

2) I just wanna get a gun, shoot 'em all and let God sort out the rest. (Clonidine, see I remember)

1) Tell that to a fetus!

I'd have plenty more, but I only started the second to last lecture he had this quarter. Maybe more text quarter. Thanks Mark!

Loma Linda Sweatshirts!

2006-09-17T13:16:00.000-07:00

As president of my class, I thought we needed to come up with a good fundraiser for our Boards Bash party at the end the year as well as for other social events and community projects. My Vice, Kat, brainstormed the idea of selling school sweatshirts. As we discussed it, this turned out to be a particularly good idea for 2 major reasons: 1) The University store does not sell any sweatshirts that say "School of Medicine" or the like, they just say "University" and 2) Their sweatshirts cost between $40-$50 greenbacks. Our class however is selling these fashionable sweatshirts for only $27! What a deal. Here are the finished products.

Here's the Navy version w/ white print. Navy always looks good. We even had the officers from Annapolis ordering from this line.

This is the sexy Charcoal version w/ white print. It looks good on both guys and girls. I bought this one myself.

Finally, this is the hip Chololate Brown version w/ light blue print. I bought this one as well so that I would be on pace with fashion. This sweatshirt can be worn by both sexes, but is particularly popular with the women.

The End of Things...My Last Free Summer

2006-09-04T23:20:00.000-07:00

Sometimes you just know when a part of your life as you it know will never be the same again. I'm talking about summer vacation. Tonight is the last night of my last summer vacation ever. I'm going to miss the hell out of 'em, I'll say that. And I also don't mind saying that my summer kicked some serious tail (pardon the language), and I don't mind saying it.

(A tail kicking good time)

The Grand Finale to my summer was Yosemite and Hiking Mt. Whitney with my Pops.

The Yosemite troops: Katattack, Joe, Josh, Kevin

The Half-Dome hike is nothing short of sensational. One of the most beautiful hikes in the world. The hike is 17 miles round trip.

Then the next week I climbed Mt. Whitney with my Dad, Jon, and Emily (4:30 am). Mt. Whitney is the tallest mountain in the lower 48. Round trip hike: 22 miles.

Emily is checking out the 97 switchbacks leading to the ridge crest and Dad thinking it would probably only take him 97 seconds if he were hiking alone.

Here's Dad "summiting" Whitney. One slip and he would plumet in free fall thousands of feet to his death. This guy is a rock and never tires.

The Top! 14,497.8 feet. 5 hours later I will vomit all over the trail.

The next day my Dad and I drove up to Yosemite and took the afternoon to free-climb El Capitan. 3,000 vertical feet of sheer granite. Don't believe me? Just ask my Mom, she'll tell you.

Still don't believe me? Here is hard photo evidence of us climbing a chimney crack about 2,ooo feet up. Besides, Captain Kirk free climbed it in Star Trek V, so it is doable.

Next we went to the land of the giants, Sequoia National Park, where they have some fatty trees.

Sequoia Facts: These fatties can tip the scales at 2.7 million lbs., grow nearly 300 ft. tall with branches up to 8 ft. thick, and live over 3,000 years!! We climbed these suckers too.

Well that was the end of my final free summer of all time until heaven. When I go to bed tonight they will cease to exist.

Now I remember the good times. I look forward to good times to be had. I get ready to meet the challenges ahead. I long to do it all over again.

If you're still reading, then you must be family.

I Love Hot Wheels!

2006-08-29T18:26:00.000-07:00

These things are the coolest. I play with them all the time.

Santa Barbara

2006-08-18T12:54:00.000-07:00

Two buddies of mine from medschool and I drove up to Santa Barbara (Santa Barbara is a high roller town where celeberties frequent. I'm pretty sure we almost saw Denzel at Vons Grocery) to hang out with some women we didn't know for two days. I was like, "alright, I guess I'll go hang out with babes for a while." We had a lot fun on the quick trip. When we got there we ate at the California Pizza Kitchen and then went down to the beach for a bonfire. We had no wood, but us three manscouts gathered scraps of wood and before long we had a six-foot flame that was uncomfortably hot.

The next day we played some highly competitive volleyball on the beach. One game two girls took on us three guys and they nearly beat us!! We didn't have a rematch. We also played in the waves and I, of course, got sunburned again.

The beautifal and calm coast of Santa Barbara

I thought this was a bad idea, but succumbed to peer pressure.

She's holding all 250 lbs of my dead weight. She must work out.

You won't believe it but we saw Maverick and Goose playing Iceman and that other guy. The score was like 39,877 to 39,878. Apparently neither side has won by two yet. Man those guys are competitive, Mav still looked pretty good in those jeans though. You'd think damp, sandy, tight jeans would chafe if you played volleyball.

They also showed us the campus of Westmont College. Nice campus! I thought I was at some kind of Health spa or something.

Finally we dropped Jon off at the Staples Center in LA so that he could go to a Tim McGraw/Faith Hill Soul2Soul tour II concert! He had box seats and everything! I don't think he even knows who they are!!! Life is not fair. Anyway we got a pic in front of the magnificent Magic Johnson statue, which was cool.

(Jon, Kevin, and Josh the Navigator)
So that was pretty much it.

The Best Things in Life are Free (a heartfelt post)

2006-08-11T21:54:00.000-07:00

I've sorta taken a summer sabbatical, a hiatus if you will from blogging. I've been involved in a surgery preceptorship for the last four weeks and it has been quite an experience. I wish I could have taken some pictures of the things I saw, but that would violate privacy laws and if Loma Linda found out they would terminate me immediately and use me as a cadaver.

So in lieu of a surgery post I will do a post on a "free thing."

Item 1: The San Mateo House entertainment center. I'm quite proud of this pearl we found. Brian, my new roommate, and I went down to the white house and found this puppy. The white house is a place where students can go and find free stuff that people donate when they move away. But I realized that this is not really free at all, actually FAR from it since I've had to pay many tens of thousands for school in order to qualify for free stuff at the white house. And while we think it is rather nice, most people would call it a piece of crap, so it is therefore not the best either.
So when does the phrase apply that "the best things in life are free?" I was beginning to be discouraged that this phrase is utterly false and life has very little meaning. But after pondering this question for seconds and seconds, a revelation came to me.

FAMILY

You didn't ask for them, you didn't know them, and yet you were given to them and they were given to you. They didn't cost a dime and your stuck with them no matter what. I'm not trying to make them sound cheap, but they are indeed the BEST.

So now you know why come "the best things in life are free."

RJ and Katie's Big Day = Big Post

Here's RJ Stoked out of his mind that he's getting married and perhaps expressing a little anxiety about his bachelor party.

This is where RJ ended up just 15 minutes into his bachelor party! Ya, things were that crazy.

Actually, they were just trying to catch a cow. Only in the Northwest.

I very nice wedding indeed

Dear Hersha,

You came here with us. You started with us. You went through it with us. You finished with us. And You shared your dreams with us.

Thank you for bringing your love and passion to our class.

Thank your for the joy you so unselfishly gave. And though your physical presence will be missed, we are taking you with us. You will graduate with us.

We love you.

2006-05-31T15:13:00.000-07:00

Over the last week since we've been out of tests we have done something fun every single night. You could say these are the best of times here in med-school. We go to the hospital by day and party by night. Unfortunately, I've only taken my camera to two of these events. So here are the fun times of these events.

Here we are getting ready to do some serious putt-putt golf at Castle Park.

Heidi and I have joined the navajo tribe of Castle Park

We also played some serious morning street ball at Kat's

We play some pretty rough ball and some things can only be decided by a jump ball.

We have just over two weeks left of our ward experience and then we will be officially 2nd years, asuming we passed our mock boards that is. :)

I'm not doctor, but I'll take a look!

2006-05-09T20:38:00.000-07:00

Dr. Mustache is currently fighting in Test Armaggeddon for the next couple of weeks and will not be active in blogger land for that duration of time. Please pray for him while he is in active combat. He thanks you very mustache.

In a bold and confident move, Bob proclaimed to the world that he actually has real friends (RJ, Kevin...and..uh..others) and Iced his myspace account Baby!

Here is a picture of Bob holding his Bad A plane "ICE"

Here is Bob going where most of us don't have the courage to go (metaphor for leaving myspace).

Actually he crashed my plane, "Tiger UpperCut," way down into the canyon and can't find it.

Oh, there he is! He found it! Now hike way here and do it again.
So long Bob! It was fun while it lasted, but were sure gonna miss ya!

The dreaded "Tiger UpperCut"

You're a Superhero!

2006-04-21T23:56:00.000-07:00

Finally you can take a quiz designed to reveal the superhero within you. Personally I think this quiz is the best of its kind. Who hasn't dreamed of being a superhero with superpowers? Heck, I still do! Personally again, I think the results are quite accurate...except for two characters. I would trade Catwoman and Supergirl straight across in a 2 for 1 for good ol' fashioned Captain America! He should be way up there in the ranks! As for Wonder Woman, I'll keep her.

As an aside, I've added Mark Janke to my blogger links. You gotta check out Zoe Wars! He made that picture.

OK. Logan vs. Hailey. Who wins?

RJ (uncle to Logan) and Bob (uncle to Hailey) just became uncles! Great news and my congratulations! Let me be the one to start off the competitive fallout that is sure to ensue. Let's move right past all the small silly stuff like who is going to walk first and who will say momma first and get right down to the main question at hand. What if these two wildcats went head-to-head in an epic battle to rule everything, who would win the title?

LOGAN (either one)

2006-03-15T15:42:00.000-08:00

The 1st year med-students (and yours truly), dipped, dived, ducked, dodged and hucked its way to championship victory this season, beating out the older and wiser 2nd year med-students in the final game. The defending 2nd year Dental Drillers settled for third place this year. The 1st year Dental team had a rough season and did not rank. This is the 1st championship the 1st year med-students have won in the intramural arena.

Posers? Or Real Deals?

2006-02-24T14:13:00.000-08:00

Recently I visited the Mask for Walla Walla College and did a search to see what my friend's pictures looked like this year. What I found was a mix of people posing as my friends and real pictures of my actual friends. So I've gone and figured out who the posers are so you don't have to.

This dude claims to go by the name "RJ". I don't think so pal!! This guy is a big time poser just trying to get some chics at WWC. This picture looks nothing like a church directory shot nor is one corner of his collar flipped up.
Verdict: POSER (double thumbs up is the big tip off here)

I was about to label this guy as a poser, but take a closer look. This is definitley Bob Renck. Look at the left eye, the nose, the burly beard, and especially the nice teeth. I must have somehow accessed the futureverse while doing my search. He is a bonified dentist in this pic.
Verdict: Make no mistake this guy is the REAL DEAL.

Next I did a search for my good old campin' buddy, Casey Luport. I was a bit taken-a-back with what came up. This guy looks way cooler looking than Casey, so he can't be a poser by definition. Sorry Casey, but this guy is out of your league.
Verdict: REAL DEAL

For this search I was glad I didn't have to think about if this guy was a poser or not. It's clearly Nick.
Verdict: REAL DEAL

I did a search for my friend Petra. She took campaign pictures for Nick and I once and I thought she still might be in the mask database. What I found amused me. Petra is simply way hotter than this chica and kicks way more ass too!
Verdict: POSER!

Finally, I did a search for my friend Adam....My universe and also my futureverse exploded.
Verdict: REAL DEALS

I Don't Want to Die Doing Something I Love

2006-02-10T10:56:00.000-08:00

Like Earl Pitts, the redneck radio personality, I take issue when I go to a funeral and people stand up and say, "At least he died doing what he loves." As if it's some kind of consolation and as if he would've wanted it that way. I say that's bunk! We work too dogone hard, working 8-12 hour days for jerk of a boss for almost no money, or I study too hard before my tests and nearly kill myself during them to just up and die when I finally get to go surfing with the dolphins at the beach or lace up those bowlin' shoes again. I'll tell you right now, I do not want that to happen to me.

As a matter a fact, the opposite is true. When I'm standing there in the lab, getting high on formaldehyde, stumped out of my mind as to what I'm looking at on the cadaver in an anatomy practical and realizing I'm gonna fail; hell, I wouldn't mind if I just slumped over right then and joined the guy. At the very least I wouldn't have to worry about the test and they could even use me on the next exam. It'd be nice to be on the other side of things for once. I'd be like, "you ain't gonna get this point kid, I got a Buccopharyngeal nerve like you ain't never seen before!" Then I'd laugh real hard to myself. Or if I got pulled over by cop for speeding for the third time in a row, I wouldn't mind if the good Lord took me right then and the cop found me keeled over the steering we'll.

So I don't mind dying. I ain't even afraid of it, cause the good Lord has got place for us. Just don't take me when I'm enjoying myself.

Thank goodness midterms are over! I'm going to take a shower, towel off, and then go play some volleyball! (really). If I die, you'd better say I was ticked off!

My Weekend Excursion

2006-01-28T00:20:00.000-08:00

The destination: Menzel 3 (aka the "ant nebula')
It took a freak long time to get there, but boy, was it worth it!

Here I am taking off in the shuttle. I had to take an Apollo series shuttle cause this was a low budge trip.

Finally, here I am walking in space at Menzel 3. I brought my fly swatter just in case it was fly season there, or even a single mosquito. I hate mosquitos.

I recomend going to Menzel 3 for your next long weekend. It's the place to be!

MAMMOTH '06 (Deserving of a mammoth post)

2006-01-21T00:33:00.000-08:00

The group from left to right: Kevin, Minhthy, Mark, Emily and Bob

The Living Quarters: Minhthy has this really awesome friend who let us stay in his trailer for free! It's only about 25 minutes from the mountain. It even had it's own stove fireplace. A skier's dream getaway.

The Mountain: Mammoth holds true to its name, its...well, Mammoth. There is plenty of terrain to explore and mountain to share even with the biggest crowds. The tree skiing here is some some of the best there is and Mammoth also boasts some pretty extreme terrain. A little expensive on the hollidays, but well worth a trip out there.

We skied two hard days in a row. The first day I just packed in some Cliff Bars, a PB&J, a Chew bar (smores), and a Nature Valley bar in my jacket and didn't even stop for lunch. The snow was just too good. It had snowed and stormed all day Saturday and then was absolutely clear and sunny on Sunday and Monday. God really blessed us on this trip!

Some of us didn't learn our lessons from "Dumb and Dumber." And nice pic Em :0

After our hard day of skiing we warmed up the trailer with a blazing hot fire (making fires has got to be one of my favorite pastimes, but I swear those girls never get warm enough. It was probably almost 90 degrees in there at one point), ate a huge big meal Minhthy made and played some cards and worshiped God in song.

Bob, like a good dentist, made sure we all brushed our teeth real good. (But I didn't floss)

I am man. I make fire.

I also made a new friend on the trip, Luke.

The Mammoth trip was so much fun, I think we should make it an annual event. The only thing that would have made the trip a little better is if you could've come along. It was a perfect break from school, but now I best study. Best wishes to you all!

This one is of an aquarium with fish swimming in it.

The third is of Pepsi cases and they are all stacked on the ceiling, and the bottom of the trailer is empty.

A Salute to RJ Henneberg

2006-01-03T22:41:00.000-08:00

Our good friend and roomate of many years went off to Korea over break and found himself a wife! Well, almost a wife. He is currently engaged, but not just to the first woman he saw in Korea as you might expect, but a very special woman, Katie Meidinger! Whom we all know, love and respect. Way to go Jorge! Be sure to send him your sympathies.

In my salute to RJ, here are some pics of him being the great guy he is

Whoa! Killer dish RJ

Happy 23rd old man

I'm So Sorry RJ

Yes! The Seattle Seahawks reign supreme in their triumphant battle against the nigh unbeatable Indianapolis Colts. We must give a nod of grattitude to the man in the pictures, #37 Shaun Alexander. He scored 3 of the 4 touchdowns for Seattle. He is a true Champion. Seattle has now claimed home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

No doubt this was a glorious and rewarding game for long-time dedicated Seahawk fans, like RJ and myself to watch. However, RJ is in South Korea and earnestly requested I record the game for him. I wanted to record it too, as I was in Church and don't watch TV on Saturday.

So RJ, I failed you miserably. I am sorry from the bottom of my heart. Nothing can rectify this wrong. I will whip myself with reeds for 8 hours as punishment and consolation. We have no VCR and I failed to make alternate arrangements. I am as dissapointed as you are. (Now I'm going to be demoted to valet parking or guest book guardian at his wedding) Atleast we know, as well as the rest of the nation, that the Seattle Seahawks are the best team in the league. Read the recap here: http://nfl.com/gamecenter/recap/NFL_20051224_IND@SEA

Important Seahawk Stats:
The Seahawks have the #1 offense in the league. Check it here: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/statistics?stat=team&pos=off&league=nfl&season=2&year=2005

Shaun Alexander is the #1 RB in the league. Check it here: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/statistics?stat=rush&pos=def&league=nfl&season=2&year=2005

Matt Hassalbeck is the #4 QB in the league. Check it here: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/statistics?stat=pass&pos=def&league=nfl&season=2&year=2005

The Seahawks have the 16th best defense in the league. Check it here, but it's probably an untrue statistic, more like the #1 defense in the league:
