Existential

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

I think people that use the word "existential" too often are very annoying.  What does it even mean, aside from "pertaining to an existence"? It's a very annoying word used most often by people attempting to be a bit too intellectual.  Those folks are also very annoying...often times the academic type.  ...

CB360 update

Saturday, November 1st, 2008

So...it's cold out now and the CB360 restore has gone nowhere in weeks.  I have acquired a few more parts and plan on assembling the engine over the winter.  I bought a bottom end for it on ebay and then got pistons and cylinders.  Quite a more to go...but the ...

CB360 Restore

Saturday, October 11th, 2008

I'm sorry I haven't wrotten in months.  I've been extremely busy with work and back in July I decided to start restoring a 1974 Honda CB360. Three months later, it's starting to look like something.  I'm going to create a page in this site for the restpration progress.  In the mean ...

Education is just luck

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

The other day I was going to cruise over to the BMV exam station to get my motorcycle learner permit and was absolutely furious when I discovered that they're not open on Mondays.  But then I started thinking... I can go whenever I want.  Then I felt lucky because the fact ...

SUV anger

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

I keep coming back to this...over and over again.  It just angers me to no end when I'm trying to responsibly maneuver through a parking lot but can't see over the masses of SUVs and minivans. Why can't we Americans just drive normal (ie "environmentally friendly") sized vehicles?  Why do women ...

Got a motorcycle

Sunday, July 6th, 2008

Well, after so many years of observing that just about everyone out there that has a bike is absolutely obsessed with riding it, I decided I would give it a try and bought a Kawasaki Vulcan 500.  I haven't been on a bike since riding a friend's dirtbike in high school, ...

Growing Coffee at Home

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

I've tried a few times to grow coffee here in Northeast Ohio.  The first time it was going fairly well until I accidentally left the plants outside for the first frost.  After that I never did get the seeds to sprout again. Here's a cool site (http://www.coffeeresearch.org/agriculture/homegrowing.htm) that deals with this.  ...

Next Father’s Day…

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

I think what he's saying is that fthe point of ather's day is NOT to spend the day on the golf course..... http://www.dadsanddaughters.org/blog/fathersday1.html: "On Father's Day, the words of appreciation can go from dad to child, not just from child to dad. If you’re a father or stepfather, take some time this ...

Good tech support from Dish Network

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

It's not right to complain about bad tech support and not praise good tech support. That being said, I give much credit to Dish Network support.  Everytime I call, I get a rep on the phone within just a few minutes and more often than not, that rep is empowered to ...
