I’m Sick

Tuesday, November 30th, 2004

The title pretty much says it all–I’m sick. I don’t know if it is the flu or a cold or what, but my throat is killing me and I feel like I have a fever of about 211 degrees Fahrenheit.
I would like to just give in to it and take the next couple of [...]

The Price Of Gas

Monday, November 29th, 2004

My daughter woke up in the middle of the night while we were in Conway. Screaming. I’m talking belting-it-out, top-of-the-lungs, wake-up-the-neighbors type screaming.
We tried our best to comfort her, cooed and said comforting things. She screamed. And cried. We tried talking tough and telling her that enough was enough. She [...]

Ahhh, Home Again

Sunday, November 28th, 2004

Visiting the family is great stuff and its always nice to see them, but being home is nice, too.
The hotel room was okay, but I hated the bed sheets and the fitted sheet kept popping off the corners. I would end up laying on bare mattress which I don’t like doing on my bed. [...]

Happy Turkey Day

Thursday, November 25th, 2004

Happy Turkey Day to everyone out there. Except the turkeys, who are pretty much toast by now. And the corn. And potatos, not to mention green beans. And sweet potatos. Okay, Happy Turkey Day to everything inedible.

Miscellany

Wednesday, November 24th, 2004

You may have noticed that I changed the title of the site. I wanted something a little flashier and not directly related to my name or the words “me” or “my”. The Chair and Automan was suggested by David some time ago when we were brainstorming ideas for my business name. He [...]

Happy Thanksgiving

Wednesday, November 24th, 2004

I don’t know if I will be blogging much over the next few days as I will be at the in-laws tomorrow after I wake up, hopefully I will also get to spend time with my friend Chaundra and my goddaughter Taylor and then Friday it is off to see Dave in Conway.
I love the [...]

Goodbye Albatross

Wednesday, November 24th, 2004

I had mentioned that the Mustang parts were an albatross around my neck. I have sold the last of the parts on Ebay and the albatross is no more. I essentially ended up paying about $600 for the honor of storing them for a year and a half, but lessons were learned and [...]

Bum Rush, The Show

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2004

Atrios points to some Rush Limbaugh commentary on the hip hop culture.
First off, what in the fork does Rush know about hip hop? He also speaks of gang colors. Again, what do you know about it Rush? Where do you get your info, dude? From your dealer? Oh, wait that’s [...]

Grout

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2004

I finally grouted the floor that I tiled in front of the new built-in shelves. I’m only 10 days late doing it. Better late than never, which is what everyone around me says out of sheer necessity.

Loveseat, Part 2

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2004

Okay, I’ve received the backseat from the 69 Mustang Fastback. That cost me $74.99. I also have received my black seat upholstery, which cost $57.95. So for $132.94 I have my cushions.
My next step will be going to buy some cheap wood at Lowe’s so that I can build the prototype seat [...]
