Photography

Fuzzy is an avid photographer, and takes pictures of almost everything he sees.

He spent 7 weeks in 2025 Jeeping to Intl. Dark Sky areas during the new moons to do night landscapes. You can get free wallpapers here.

Jeeping

Since 2013 our biggest hobby is expedition Jeeping, also known as Overlanding.

We have two Wranglers, a 2011 Wrangler Sahara Unlimited, and a 2023 Rubicon EcoDiesel, and a custom-built camping trailer called The Toad Pod™

In August of 2023 Debbie and I did the Rubicon Trail in California with Barlow's Adventures August 2023.

In October 2024 Fuzzy did the Rimrocker Trail with friends Barbara and David Rainey.

Ranch

The Lazy Toad Ranch is now located in North Texas, near Mabank.

We currently have 3 horses, 27 cows, 4 dogs, 3 cats, 26 chickens, and 4 guinea fowl.

We used to be involved in all kinds of fun projects, such as Burning Man, Pirate Week, Rennaisance Faire, BattleBots and Stunt Flying.

You can read Fuzzy's FaceBook Page even if you do not have a FaceBook account.

Team Toad

Team Toad is our family's fleet of combat robots.

We competed in BattleBots from 2000 to 2002 (Seasons 2-5), and 2018 and 2019. We competed in NERC events and RCG events between 2001 and 2003.

After a haitus from robot combat, we got back into competing at BattleBeach 4, RoboGames 2006 and RoboGames 2008, 2006 RFL Nationals and our latest events Combots 2009 and Robogames 2011.

We're proud to welcome SGT Andy Vinh as an honorary member of Team Toad,

Travel

We have several albums in our Travel pages, including trips to Florida for the launches of Atlantis STS-122 and Endeavour STS-123 and STS-126 Japan, the Mediterranean the Caribbean, Europe, Africa, Providenciales and Burning Man 2004.

These days we put most of our travel photos on Fuzzy's Facebook Page.

Robot Club

Get Metal Munching Maniacs, the DVD. This DVD shows the last tournament held at the Robot Club & Grill on May, 2003.

From the Fall of 2002 through the Spring of 2003 we owned and operated the Robot Club & Grille, the world's only permanent robot fighting facility open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner. The club is closed and gone, but the fight record and online store live on.

Data Groupies

Data Groupies was a project by Fuzzy to model the 2020 coronavirus epidemic using the skew-normal distribution. Weekly updates were ended in March 2023.

The Data Groupies Theory Page is basically a conference paper without the conference.

The Contact page lists ways to get in contact with Team Toad.
