I am thankful for companies who send out payment envelopes with their own return address already printed on them. That means you, Fort Collins Utilities!
I don’t know why, but I really don’t enjoy writing my return address on envelopes. Maybe I’m afraid that my stamp will fall off and my handwriting will end up being [...]

After the first week in December, peace, quiet and sanity will return to my home.
Me and two other leadery types from the church had a talk with my housemate last night. Sparing everyone the details, the short version is that he’s out as soon as is practical.
I am really happy about this, but really [...]
I spent some quality time with the motorcycle on Saturday trying to get a power socket cleanly wired in somewhere useful.
With Winter weather coming soon (I hope), the bike will have some opportunities to sit for a few weeks and do nothing. I learned some lessons from the first Winter I owned the BMW – [...]
I was reading WebBikeWorld.com this morning and saw a review of an LED conspicuity vest. ”Gee,” I thought, “that’s pretty neat, but it’d probably be neater if you could swipe the LED pipes out of it and make better stuff than that cheesey-a$$ vest…”.

Here’s the list of wires for my trip over Thanksgiving:
Camera:
Battery charger, spare battery, car charger adapter (just in case)
Laptop
A/C adapter, USB drive (just in case)
MP3 player
Charging cable, earphones (dad [...]
I’m working my way up to 2000 posts on this blog. Most of those are from days where I wasn’t so interested in the more meta aspects of blogging. Such being the case, nearly every “tag” used on my blog is from the last two months. This is probably also because LiveJournal didn’t introduce tags [...]
I went to an early Thanksgiving dinner last night and brought a heaping helping of Alton Brown’s sweet cornbread pudding. I got a really nice compliment on it. I was told that “It tastes like Thanksgiving!”.
In other news, my cast iron skillet’s finally recovered from the sadistically thorough scrubbing it received at the hands of [...]
I feel sort of guilty about feeling good about the current mortgage fiasco crisis, but when the variable rate on my home equity line-of-credit drops to 4.0%…
I may consider seeing if I can lock in some of the equity I’ve got in that loan and doing some improvements on the house.
