  • Road Trip

    Road Trip

    I’m pondering taking some time off from work and driving back to New London Connecticut to do some site-seeing and reminiscing. It’s a mere 2000 miles, each way; easy if…

    Chryslerpunk

    Back in the 80’s cars were very analog; carburetors and chokes and points and manual steering and mechanical everything including the windows. Back then the Lamborghini Countach, the space-age dream…

  • More old iPhones

    More old iPhones

    It has been a while since my last Old Apple Crap post, so here’s a new one. After my original iPhone, I migrated to a 3GS. Unfortunately the 3GS, being…

  • Tags and Title

    So the notice regarding the county having my title work done came in a few weeks back, so I set up an appointment at the DMV to get my old…

  • Drive

    Drive

    This morning I decided I would top off the gas tank and go for a drive… The route was an old favorite; up Deer Creek Canyon to High Grade Road,…

  • There and Back

    So after some discussion yesterday morning, I sent my roommate and his relatives off to Rampart Range Road in his jeep while I enjoyed a quiet day at the house…

  • Out and About

    Today my roommate’s sister and her husband arrive from out of state for a short visit. I’ve been volunteered to take the lot for a tour up in the mountains…

  • Cheap

    Given the insanity in the world right now with spiking energy costs, ill-conceived federal spending, and generally piss-poor state government timing, I’m once again cutting a lot of my usual…

  • Mayo

    I despise mayonnaise, and that goes double for the “Better Living Through Modern Chemistry” liquid fat analog that passes for mayo at a fast food place. So, you can imagine…

  • Xanth

    I guess it was about 1980 or so, on one of my routine trips to the local book store on Main Street in Longmont, that I spotted my first Xanth…

  • Dash Cam

    Dash Cam

    Given how bad the ‘imports’ are these days – and by import I mean someone from out of state who decided Colorado is the place to be – a dash…

  • Tint

    Tint

    Just got the 300 back from the tint shop, and they did an amazing job. Xpel 15% ceramic tint all the way around. From inside it’s a bit like wearing…

  • Thirsty

    Been a couple of days now with the 300, and just passed 100 miles – and had the first trip to the gas station… One quarter of a tank of…

  • 300

    300

    For about a year now, the local Chrysler dealership has been pestering me to come buy this 300 sedan they’ve had on the lot since fall of last year; it’s…

  • Drive

    Drive

    Yesterday I decided to play hooky from work and go for a drive… My year old Nissan only has about 2000 miles on it, and with gas being “cheap” at…

  • Second Life

    A quick video walkthrough of my latest sim build; Selentia. This is my personal hidey-hole in Second Life. My roommate owns the sim next door, and I themed that one…

  • Eco

    My neighborhood has both a regular trash service and a recycling service, each with a different can. I generate so little trash that I don’t really participate… I mean, by…

  • I’ve Seen All Good People

    I’ve Seen All Good People

    Yesterday I posted about the Pink Floyd show I saw in 1994, which was notable as being the last Pink Floyd tour ever. A few years prior to this I…

  • Division Bell

    Division Bell

    It is June 18th, 1994, just after sunset… I’m standing in a throng of 69,788 people on the field of Mile High Stadium; the scent of pot thickly fills the…

  • Red Barchetta

    I’m sitting here at work, working (as one tends to do at work), and I’m playing my ‘old man’ music… Today is a selection of old Rush from the recent…
