The Grayest Day

A man of his occupation made his mornings most people’s afternoons.
The cops knocked on his door early in the afternoon, before his second
cup of coffee had gotten the chance to get cold. It wasn’t surprising
he expected it daily; he just wasn’t ready this day it was too much of
a burden for him today. His [...]

Old vs. new?

I feel like the CB radio could come back as a replacement for text messaging. Look at the similarities
“Where R u?” – Texting
“What’s your 20?” – CB
“OMW” – Texting
“Copy that see you in 10″ – CB
I hate it when I call someone on the phone and they actually answer the call. I would rather [...]

Things that are odd to me…

People say the word unbelievable a lot and when it doesn’t apply. When I try to ask them “really” it just doesn’t translate the appropriate amount of sarcasm and then I am continued with the why and how it’s unbelievable. i.e. That bike is unbelievably fast – Really I believe you when you say [...]

How do you connect Bruce Lee with Elvis Presley

This one was a challenge.
I actually had to use imdb.com to help me with this one. But as it turns out it’s a short few jumps
Elvis Presley was in Blue Hawaii with none other then Angela Lansbury, who was in Murder She Wrote for about a hundred years. Adam West did one of the [...]

Patrick Swayze Pants & Luke Skywalker Shirts

Can you believe that the Itunes/App Store for Iphone doesn’t have a game called 6-Degree’s of Kevin Bacon, or for that matter, 6 Degrees to anyone. Do you know how often I’ll be at home and think, what do Patrick Swayze and Luke Skywalker have in common amongst films and actors and have to [...]

Twitter, Home Depot, Lowes and Coffee

Twitter – I’m so annoyed and I don’t even know what the hell it is. I just know that its really stupid and I really want to punch anyone who say’s anything “twit-esque.”
A few weeks back I needed a new garage door opener. I went to Lowe’s -there it was in its beautiful shining [...]

Update: Project bike, Honda CB750f Supersport

TearDown….
This is how it looked when I got started. Removed carbs for cleaning/re-build, pulled engine to adjust valves , dissassembled frame for cleaning and check inside engine. Documented all parts I would need and began to Plan my attack with theme, color, and look. Thinking “euro-cafe” with an “american dirt track” feel for a theme-just [...]

Project bike, Honda CB750f Supersport

Yo,
So I took on a project this year. Since I had a little extra time on my hands and very little money to commit to a new bike, I decided to take a class at MATC and learn a little more about motorcycles and small engines. The class I took had an extra benefit, [...]

Whatever is standard

Whatever is standard
I wasn’t very well versed in Civil Engineering when I took my first job as a lowly paid intern. But I had an idea of how to make it work. TKL had told me that when you don’t know what you are talking about just ask for “the standard” whatever you [...]

George, Georgia and Russian on my mind.

GW said back in 2001 when he met then Russian President Vladimir Putin that he got a good sense of “his soul” and hence created a more benign existence with our former violent enemy and of course voracious breeder of movie plot menaces -Wolverine, every Bond movie, Bambi (the hunter was a Russian), Hunt for [...]
