I’m back from the San Antonio bike show (South Texas Motorcycle Show). It was an interesting, but not lucrative, trip. I’m pretty sure we spent more on corny dogs than we earned as a vendor. There are reasons for this…some related to my “product”, and more related to the show itself.
This is the first show [...]

Hey all!
I’ll be at the South Texas Motorcycle Show in San Antonio, Texas this coming weekend (Friday March 28 through Sunday March 30).
I’ll have a booth in the exhibitors area and will have books on hand. I’ll be signing, swapping stories, and generally mucking about in motorcycle stuff.
Y’all (that’s a technical Texas term) [...]

I almost killed him. It was a matter of inches.
Righteous indignation, relief, surprise, and maybe just a taste of fear are still throbbing through my system.
Not fun…that.
I was working on the wife’s car today. It’s six years old already. Sheesh. Where does the time go? Seems like just yesterday I was gasping in horror at [...]

Yah know…even I get days off every now and again.
Last Friday I was going to take a “comp” day…basically this is an undocumented day off to make up for those extra days put in at some other time. Yeah, I’m on salary. I haven’t made any overtime in a couple decades. Best as I can [...]

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Arthur C. Clarke, a visionary science fiction writer who won worldwide acclaim with more than 100 books on space, science and the future, died Wednesday in his adopted home of Sri Lanka, an aide said. He was 90.

He changed the world…many may never understand just how [...]

Yesterday was me and the wife’s 17th anniversary. Wow. 17 years gone by, just like that.
17 years and and the emotions…the lust…the drive…are as powerful as they ever were.
When we were first married, I thought I understood what my role was and what was expected of me, and more importantly, how to integrate that new [...]

Not sure when, or how it happened…but we have become the impediment, not the enabler, in the Information Technologies world.
When, as a group, did we stop *asking* what folks needed to get their work done…and start *telling* them what they’d be allowed to have?
I work in the support of the news production business. I build [...]

Check out this gate!
I love this concept.

Thanks to Jim Murtagh for the pics!
Hmmm….
Plasma Cutter———check
Welder—————-check
Cut off saw———–check
Steel, muscle, blood—check
I’m thinkin’ I’ve just gotta build something like that. Now, if I can just figure out where I need a massive gate…

Well, I missed it this year. I predicted winter would be on February 21 and 22. Instead, it was on March 4th.
The pic below (thanks Mike) was the scene at the farm this morning…several inches of rare March snow. Winter is here! Last night? Thundersnow! Cool!
And the bright side? It’ll be gone by this afternoon. [...]
