• Despite all the “aw fuck, I just broke a towel holder off the wall” and related minor issues, I love owning a house, dudes. Tonight, I’ve got some stuffs to do, and some measurements to take, and I gotta start pricing out drywall and insulation for the garage. Along with a heater. And electrical [...]
Yesterday was another long one — an all-day meeting at the office, followed by a quick run to the Bicycle Chain, thinking it was payday. I picked up my Park PRS-4W, which will be the basis of my welding stand, had Subway for a light snack, and then headed over to Josh’s where we built [...]
Hey Internets, how’s your week been? Mine’s been pretty awesome, despite the hard labor at the office. Last night, we hit up Mac’s Industrial for trivia and I discovered their awesome menu (and food), and Odell’s IPA. We also won both rounds of trivia that night. Kate came up with some awesome answers, and I [...]
Been busy lately and haven’t had much of an opportunity to post anything here, but I’ve got a few things in the pipeline. 1. The Almanzo 100, while superbly organized, excellently hosted, and possessing of a beautiful, challenging course, was an unmitigated clusterfuck. I had repeated mechanicals that caused me to abandon after 25 miles, [...]
I recently had an epiphany surrounding my pursuit of framebuilding. The mentality I’m taking into it is that of “side job/hobby that brings in income” — for now. Should it grow to the point where I can be self-sufficient, I will have to take a good, hard look at my career, and what the potential [...]
Friday night, I played a lot of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (hereinafter to be referred to as BF:BC2), which was a good thing. Kate had the day off and spent time at her parents’ place before helping Allie with her wedding invitations. I was asleep before she got home. Saturday, there’s not much to report. [...]
So it’s been almost a week since my last post here. I’ve been really busy at the office which leaves me exhausted at night (my prime-time for writing), so I haven’t done much here. So I’m writing this at about 6 a.m. on Thursday morning, and will schedule it to appear later today. Things are [...]
Not sure why I’m thinking about this now, but the weirdest moment I ever had at a job, I was standing in line at an eatery with my boss, who was in his fifties. Public Enemy was on the radio, and I was bobbing my head with the beat while waiting for my food, not [...]
Some days at the office I do feel like a robot, just going through the motions. I don’t think that’s a bad thing — it only happens on days where I have a lot of administrative shit to deal with. For the most part, I actually enjoy my job. So much so, in fact, that [...]
Is there a better start to a workday than clear skies, open highway, and Jimi Hendrix at ear-destroying volumes? I think not. The morning commute today was awesome. I should start doing some knowledge-sharing on this blog at some point.
