It's not you, it's them.
If you're reading this, you must be really, really bored. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Welcome to 2014
Have I been working for a month already and not updated my minions? My apologies. I have been working now and it's very nice to have regular paychecks again and no imminent doom in sight ( Read more... ) -
Camping and Keeping Cool
As this was the last chance to go out to the desert this year, I had to take advantage of it. The others left on Friday and I could only join them the next day. On the way out, my truck continued to run hot, but it was even worse and I pulled out of the freeway traffic twenty miles from home. Fortunately, my GPS indicated a Midas was nearby just ( Read more... ) -

I don't mind shaving once in a while, and have been known to do it for no reason in particular, often prompted by something I read on the web about shaving and I get the urge.

More Smog
You'd think it would be easy to get the smog check done, but this is California. The sensors all have to be reporting in and there's a specific procedure to do that. Unfortunately, even after replacing an intake manifold sensor, the evap sensor has to be started from a cold start (after 8 hours with the engine off), so I have to leave it at the ( Read more... ) -
Good Morning!
It looks like I'll have a short assignent next week, but over the weekend working on back shifts. This is the contractor lifestyle, made popular by our wonderfully stagnant economy here in California.
