I like to clean as i go. It seems that some people would/do let it all go till the end, like heathens. I have "corperate" type friends who are "plow thru it and get the task done, worry about the flotsome later". Certainly theres a grey area, but to me its plain and simple - dont let a mess...

So with this time machine you get to go back in time to show someone a particular piece of technology. Computer, music, automotive, aviation, medical, weapons... I think about this all the time. If i took my cell phone back x years, someone might just think its a shiny, useless rock. Take a...

(I hope this will not get kicked to political forum...please refrain) We've been here for a few days now and it's a completely different experience the Marseille of a few days ago. Yesterday we spent the entire day seeing about 20% of the Louvre. Holy shit! What a place! Room after room of...

Day 1 to Paris, day 2 to Marseille to visit friends for a few days. So far its been so much fun! Last night we went out for dinner and it was fantasic - so much rich food! We had some kind of duck, a huge leg of lamb that melted in your mouth, and of course some melty cheese with bread and...

I just found that Injun (Phil) died last night. So sad to hear. Phil was kind, generous, and we laughed thru the hard times together. I will miss him...

I bought a crf230 for $600. Yea, its a bit rough but i bought it for a project that i will explain. But first, has anyone done a 520 to 428 chain conversion? It need new chain/ sprockets, and my thought was to go that way. The 520 is the same chain they use on big 'ol adult sized and powered...

I never got away with saying that as a kid, but a lot of my friends found that by saying those words that they could get out of just about anything. My mom was an RN, i had to be bleeding or near death to get out of things like school or yard work etc. "Just go, you'll feel better once you get...

I made a work bench for my clients new 60x60 "garage"...yea, its the stuff of dreams.:wow. The work bench is 14' reclaimed deck beams and posts, and prob weighs 400 lbs. I covered it with 3/4 ply thats good on 1 side, and want to seal it with something clear. Whats good/durable? I actually...

Im helping a friend with some work that he needs done. Part of it is to refresh the 1990 kitchen. The idea was to reface the cabinets and doors, and new modern countertops/appliance/sink etc. Its a nice house, not rental quality. But as i look around i get the idea that a cabinet refresh isnt...

...do these things??? I've always worked construction or in a moto shop or...some place where exposed toes just doesn't work. So i just never had sandals of any kind. I even thought it was spelled sandles. But my wife bought me some of those non thong type that velcro in a few places and...

Whatever it is, it out maneuvered a few F18s. This is from '04 but recently released. https://youtu.be/Fv_oCn0BR4I

We get these smokey conditions a lot where i live. On a few occasions ive ignored the smoke and gone about my business (outdoor work and exercise), only to regret it later. Ive had a nasty respiratory infection that lingered for days. Today i saw a lot of people out jogging, and they may regret...

...had a heart attack. No one really suprised by this, but he was a funny MFer. I loved his bit about the gay wedding. https://youtu.be/mBpbYKd_QfI Probably nsfw....

Im working here in the city, and staying at a friends house. Last night a 30+ lb raccoon came through the cat door in the basement, up the stairs to the mainfloor, and got into the cat food. The balls on this thing!! I heard it eating, thought it was the cat. 4:06 am. He then came into the...

The dog in my avatar was not my dog. He lived with us in our building for many years, and anyone who came to subterranean cycles may have seen him sitting on the counter. That's where he liked to sit. Today was Fossil's last day. He had a few strokes and was just a shell of the dog we knew. It...

My dad bought a timeshare from a guy. Actually, he just wanted to use it for a week, but the guy said "...no no, its yours!" Which seemed too good to be true. Guess what... Its a money pit. And they can't really use it because its in Oregon and he's 80+ yrs old. I told him to just sell it like...

Stopped about an hour before we got there. There were freekin' puddles I tell ya! So no dust till the afternoon. 69° and sunny the rest of the day. For you city dudes, that's pretty good around here, usually over 90° this time of year. Its gotten pretty rough in some spots. The rocks and roots...

I helped my buddy build a cabin out in the woods. His camera just barely caught this guy, and I mean barely! https://youtu.be/-oYIyeuBt4I I saw one on the trail a few days ago. Glad my dog wasn't with me... Another killed a pony in Cool, Ca. (About 10 mins away) recently. I now hike with...

Yesterday I watched "the big short" again, and have some questions. The banks that sold them the "short" received money from them at the beginning, before the bubble burst. Everyone was pissed, and wanted their money back. If you short something and the value goes up, you pay? Then in the...
