    The view from my guest room this morning… It’ll look like this for a couple of weeks, and then it’ll snow for five months. 🙂 Listening to “Endless Summer” by…

    Exhausted

    The final piece of my vehicular mod-list was completed today; I think I’m done for the foreseeable future now. Today that last item was completed. I took the car over…

    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…

    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…

    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…

  • 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…

    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…

    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…
