I made a comment about this series and noticed it hasn't got it's own. I am thoroughly enjoying everything about it. The story, acting, directing, filming...it really is tops in my book right now.

My dad started a running joke with my brother: They had just finished shooting and my brother was doing a quick pull through on his pistols before packing up all his gear while my dad was just packing up. My brother asked him if he needed to borrow the pull through and my dad responded, "Nah, I...

Driving into work yesterday I went by a pickup with a sizable amount of rebar stored in hangers down low on the passenger side. The hangers were below the clearance of the door. This was sticking out a good 8-10 inches beyond the bodywork of the truck. Gave me a bit of a surprise as I was...

I had a little scrape last week and lost a mirror boom. Doing the repairs and I'm having some difficulty fishing the wiring back through the narrow opening between the stay and the faring. Anyone got any tips? Is there an inexpensive tool that will help push/pull the wiring thru? Maybe lube it?

It was a great day. Started out of Fremont at 8 am and got back around 7 pm. Beautiful day for riding except the slab on the way back down 5 and 205/580. It turned cold and the wind gusting on 5 was slapping us around. All in all a fun day. The lakes along 4 were still primarily covered in ice...

Only 69. Margot Kidder, Actress Who Found Movie Stardom in ‘Superman,’ Dies at 69

WSJ: The Million-Dollar Cancer Treatment: Who Will Pay? I posted about these treatments a few years ago when they were in their clinical phases. Now they are finally getting FDA approval and hitting the mainstream. The WSJ is suggesting that the treatments are going to cause a balloon in...

Anyone been to Anchor & Hope on Minna near 2nd? Thinking of taking the family up to SFMOMA and then to A&H for dinner. And will we be able to find parking in the Moscone Center Garage at around 2 tomorrow?

Anyone seen this? I watched most of it last night. I guess it's just business as usual in the good ol' USofA. Here's review: HBO’s Atomic Homefront Will Make You Furious

Picked up a screwdriver in my rear tire about a block away from the house last night. Should I check with the shop to see if they'll pro-rate me on a replacement? The tire only has about 3k miles on it. Plenty of tread left. Or am I hosed and have to pony up for the full cost...

The parking lot for the building where I work has several curbed islands in it. People are parking, sometimes three deep, along the curbs painted red rather than park farther away from the entrance to the building. A car can maneuver around this but safety vehicles like fire trucks may not...

Got bumped this AM southbound on 880 between Dixon Landing and 237. Thankfully kept everything upright with no damage to either vehicle. Poor guy was freaked out worse than I was. I think I'm going to ask for a GoPro for Christmas. I need to start recording these things and figure out if I can...

Anyone got a line on BA cobblers who resole Sidi boots? I've got a pair of ST's I'd much rather just get resoled than try to replace. They're so nicely broken-in and they've saved my lower legs through two crashes now.

I have a Williams Brewing sticker I want to put on the bike and I want to make sure it doesn’t fade or deteriorate so I plan to put a sealant coat over it. I’ll watch the YouTube’s for the general particulars. Anyone got any pro tips they’d like to share to make sure it comes out tops? This will...

Anyone else watching this documentary on PBS? Epic and expansive is the way I'd describe it. I'll probably watch it several more times over the next couple of weeks. I was a bit surprised that no one here at the BRAFs had yet started at thread about it then one of the vets interviewed said he...

Celebrating our 25th on Monday. I already have a few gifts picked out. Figured I'd throw it out to the BARFs to see what else I should consider getting as a gift. Preemptive :twofinger for funnies.

Anyone got any suggestions on top notch Ford Mustang mechanics? I think I broke my new toy and it's going to take major work to fix. Here's the list I think will need to be fixed: Replace heads (I think I burnt a valve); Check/replace all bolts/connnections along the drive line from the bell...

:rip:rose Gwen Ifill Another good person taken too soon.

Re-stuffed my muffler. Didn't realize I was supposed to do this...or do it every 5k miles. Needless to say it was a bit overdue. 1. Tools, kit and muffler. For some reason they gave me 3x as much fiberglass stuffing as was required. Upside: now all I need to do is buy more pop rivets and...

So I'm listening to NPR regarding the whole cash to Iran for hostages accusations and a listener comes on for comment. The listener's delivery is stilted and punctuated by heavy breathing as though he were rubbing one out or enjoying some sexy time while on the air. Is this a thing?
