Bonus! While en route to a pickup out of Globe, AZ I per chance figured out how to shoot video off my navigation tablet's dashcam. I made three. So if you ever wanted to know what US 60 was like going westbound, I can show you now.

They range in length from about six seconds to around five minutes. Sadly, these three do not have audio, ( Read more... )

The new to me laptop is here. No AC adapter, so any plans to work with it are on hold till I get back home. I'm planning that some time around 3/25. It does have a 1TB drive, though when I get back I'll swap that out with the other 14 inch laptop I have that has a 2TB one, and make it dual boot into Ubuntu and FreeBSD then ( Read more... )

One of them being this post! Holy cow! New information on this dragon's life. One thing I have noticed is I tend to post more when I'm home. This may or may not be by design, but home does have a certain way of focusing the mind ( Read more... )

I've got a day off coming up on Thursday. And here's a list of things I need to do, and things I'd like to do. Yeah, had my passenger's side wiper go out on me today. No fun there for as soon as I entered NM it started raining. But I got through ( Read more... )

No hard drive, but I've got two 1TB drives from the dead HP I can throw in, plus a 2gig video card to boot, IF it'll cooperate. I remember the card was notoriously finicky ( Read more... )

So...last we left off I was just getting ready to head off to AZ and CA to visit mom's side of da familee for them holidaze. And thank heavens they be over now.

I haven't abandoned this journal at all. Ideas for entries still pop into my head all the time. It just seems that the lag between them appearing and me being able to sit down and type them out just kills it. Then again, there's that momentum thing. The more you write it seems the more you want to write, and find time to write ( Read more... )

In other words, the Democratic Party debates and primaries ( Read more... )

Yes. It all started about three days ago wheny yours truly suffered heat stroke. My mate woke me up in the bunk as I was sounding like I was asphyxiating. I woke up incredibly dizzy, and sweating profusely. I managed to get forward to the driver's seat where it was cooler, and opened the door, trying to breathe and still drinking ( Read more... )
