Two battery side-post extensions that were too long, bolt cutters and file later, I have solved nothing. I still have alternator whine in my radio. I’m going to have to try moving my positve lead from the accessory bus to the battery directly. Later… I redid the positive side. It’s a big improvement, but not […]

World Cup! World Cup! I haven’t watched any of the games in a week, looks like I’ve missed a lot of action. Ecuador vs England is playing at the moment… and England wins. Portugal vs Sweden is up next. My parents came down to visit earlier last week. I’ve been a slacker and haven’t made […]

No need to rock the boat! We think you should just STAY and keep your current address! No forwarding mail, printing new checks, and […]

Usually whenever I tried googling for it, I usually found sites that were trying to sell me tickets or give me arrival times. I finally found what I was looking for, Flight Aware. It’s a website […]

At some point this afternoon I woke up, thinking I was still in the hotel. I didn’t recognize where I was (my own bedroom), and it really scared me for a minute. Tonight I took a drive along 360 and went to Trudy’s. Oh. My. God. Hot salsa and queso has never tasted so good. […]

4:30 AM EDT: What time I woke up to go to IAD. 12:00 PM CDT: Landed in Austin. 37 C (98.6 F): The temperature in Austin when I got off the plane. 23 days, 6 hours: How long I was parked at the airport. I’m beat. As soon as I got in the plane at […]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaagh, still in Virginia! My trip was originally extended from Monday to Thursday. I was up all night Wednesday night tearing down our old cage and doing some work so there’d be no reason to extend my trip again. Maintenance work went sideways this morning, so here I am leaving Friday. All I can do […]

iTerm sucks. I’ve had it with it, I’ve switched back to Terminal.app. I think the whole reason I switched to begin with was because iTerm did transparency support. I spend all my time with my head buried in terminal windows and it’s handy to see what’s behind the window. Terminal.app has since added that feature. […]
