Aaaand…

…the laptop blew up again. Gateway says they tried to fix the power supply rather than replacing it, and now they want to do the whole box mailing thing again and they’ll replace it. I don’t want to do the whole thing again, I want them to pay for it to be fixed here. Their… Continue reading Aaaand…

Flashback: Scoping It Out

I’m off in a little cabin by the dumpster watching the Bald Eagles hunt trash. Tell you ’bout it when I get back. In the meantime… My mom and her husband are talking about spending some time in an RV or van when they retire. The other day my mom asked me how to scope… Continue reading Flashback: Scoping It Out

Flashback: Idler Arms

Till I get online again we’re gonna have some flashback posts. This is from way back when. A few months ago I was in Washington changing a wheel bearing and this guy told me that my idler arms were falling off and I was going to die driving down the freeway. It’s cool that if… Continue reading Flashback: Idler Arms

Breaking Eggs x2

In the morning it’s cold. Really cold. Maybe the coldest I’ve ever climbed out of bed to.

I’m still a little warm from the down, and fifty feet up the trail… Continue reading Breaking Eggs x2

Bad power cord

So I have a great story to tell, but no battery power to type it with. I’m hoping to remedy this tomorrow.

Strippers, Snipers, and Bombs

It’s midnight and I’m shimmying in front of a coked up sniper named Jim. Moments like these it’s good to stop and ask yourself, “self, is this really what you want to be doing?” I learned to talk to myself that way in college statistics and I’ve never stopped. “You’ll see,” Jim says. “You’ll fucking… Continue reading Strippers, Snipers, and Bombs

driving

I leave town under cover of night, as usual. It’s only seven, but it’s already been dark for hours. Every day the newspapers report the daylight hours, and any time I talk to my mom she passes it on to me: there were 5 hours and 42 minutes of daylight. At first there are little… Continue reading driving

Wow

This really makes me want to learn polework. Too bad I can’t fit a pole in the van…
