I've been utterly terrible at updating lately, so I'm going to try to get back in the habit, as it were.  Things have been good out here, if not a bit busy.  The website for ODNT is coming together and I'm managing to keep plenty busy in preparation of getting things lined up to launch.

Other than that, it's been great hanging out on occasion ( Read more... )

 Old Dogma New Tricks is close to having a website up and running!  I'll post (and will make sure Jes posts as well) as soon as all the little details are worked out.  The website will have a blog filled with lots of amusing tricks and tips for training, as well as comments on the general challenges that face most dog owners.

So, despite the insanity of the last couple of weeks, I've been managing to make the most of the time spent away from Chicago and my friends there.  My visit to Michigan went really well.  It was great to see my folks, and even more fantastic to see my sister, who I had not visited with since she was last in the states in June.  We both agreed that ( Read more... )

So, while I was up here we decided to run the 6 by the place that originally replaced my spark plugs and ordered me the new MAF.  They ran some diagnostics, and were deeply concerned that the car was still throwing codes, even with a new sensor, even though it wasn't anchored in all that well.  Turns out even the new CEL codes were all on cylinder ( Read more... )

Seriously, the sun is out and it is bizarre how rapidly the snow is melting.  In some ways it's nice, it's great to be outside.  In others, I'm not really ready to see the snow go away just yet, especially not up in northern Michigan ( Read more... )
