September 30, 2005

FordRides.com Well, this site is my newest home on the net. And, I am currently a SuperMod there. Great place, great people AND a great set-up. Just a bunch of blue-oval owners helping others out. Not much else has been up. I’m officially cleared to return to everything athletic as of yesterday (yeah, like I needed that)…not much else going on. Shake-ups at work, good times at home, and fun [...]

Not a whole hell of a lot going on this week. I’ve been working out like crazy – surfing (well, paddling – it was flat) on Monday, weight Tuesday thru Thursday, and Yoga on Friday. It’s nice being busy. Work’s been a chore with major ECO’s being pushed through and the Manufacturing/Planning being big ‘ole babies wanting Engineering to do more of their work. But, I’m sure you all don’t [...]

Truck Mania!

September 2, 2005

I’ve recently been bitten by the bug. My truck has turned into my new obsession. I will have it ready to do some beach-combing next summer! I can’t wait. First order of business is to put some decent sized tires on it (due to popping one this past week) and raise it up a bit. After that, the upgrade list looks something like this: Necessary Tires – After popping my [...]

The Money Pit I Call ‘My Truck’

August 26, 2005

You know, I thought was doing good. I’d finally landed a good job (that I promptly quit a few months later) and was getting ready to settle down. So, I figured, what the hell! I’d promised myself an SUV all through college and I’d be damned if I was going to buy one. My Saturn finally giving up the ghost – well, really all that happened was the clutch finally [...]

Riviera : Broken Sounds from Chicago, IL

August 19, 2005

Riviera : Broken Sounds from Chicago, IL It’s funny the things you run into on the net.   The other day, I was digging through my CD collection and came across a CD that I had burned for me a few years ago.   It was my old college roommate’s first studio effort with his band – Sugar Maple Voodoo.  The CD was titled Jibe.   Anyway, I went and [...]

So, with the knee on the mend, I’ve gone in search of some new rides! And, what better time of year to start looking than the end of summer when all the posers decide to pawn off their barely used sticks so they’ll have some pocket cash to put towards a new snowboard (which they’ll ride twice all season)? Lucky for me, I’ve found a few gems: First up is [...]

Atrophy…

August 4, 2005

It’s such a nice looking word – you’d almost consider it to be a nice word considering how it’s put together “a-trophy.” But, alas, it’s anything but nice. Merriam & Websterdefine it as the following: Main Entry: at·ro·phy Pronunciation: ‘a-tr&-fE Function: noun Inflected Form(s): plural -phies Etymology: Late Latin atrophia, from Greek, from atrophos ill fed, from a- + trephein to nourish 1 : decrease in size or wasting away [...]

Recovery Time

July 27, 2005

Stitches come out today and I couldn’t be happier. Nothing sucks worse in the AM than having to take a shower with a freaking garbage bag wrapped around your leg. I’ll also find out what the hell a ‘planka’ is and if I can start rehab soon. Pumped, I tell ya! Not much going on otherwise. Gearing up for the snowboard trip. I’ve already gotten in touch with two mountains [...]
