Happy Birthday, Emily!!

Saturday, July 30th, 2005

Happy Birthday to my wonderful 3 year old daughter. We’ve been playing up a storm this morning and enjoying every second. Well, every second that Daddy is playing the games correctly. Apparently the rules change randomly and suddenly and I’m too dense to notice that’s not the way you doooooo it. [...]

Comcast Sucks

Friday, July 29th, 2005

Comcast sucks. Plain and simple. I’m sick of dealing with these inefficient morons. I reckon when you are a monopoly it makes being good at what you do an inconvenience.
I’ve now had 3 different guys (1 Comcast guy and 2 contractors) come to my house and have now heard 3 different opinions [...]

F100 Custom Mercury

Wednesday, July 27th, 2005

I spent the entire day working on the F100 with my Father-in-law. We did tons of work and got almost nowhere because we spent much time doing and then undoing and then redoing.
I did, however, learn enormous amounts and made some very valuable contacts.
First, I learned that I’m not the first guy to try [...]

So Sick

Sunday, July 24th, 2005

I’m feeling mighty puny. But I’m getting better.
Last night was a nightmare, but today I feel better, if somewhat weak and beat up.
The biggest problem with diabetes is that you get into all of these chicken and eggs dilemmas. It always takes some time to figure out whether the diabetes is making me [...]

Back To Work

Friday, July 22nd, 2005

With my limited connectivity at times, I haven’t been doing tons of posting. Hopeful all of that will be settled soon.
So I’m headed back to work tonight. I feel as if there are about a hundred things I haven’t done yet that really need my attention. I guess they will have to [...]

F100 Reassembled

Originally uploaded by jaslusher.

Holy Cow! I found a truck in my driveway! She is finally getting reassembled. I’m still a fair bit of work away from cranking her up (the fuel tank is still not installed), but at least I’m getting to [...]

20 Minutes

Wednesday, July 20th, 2005

My connectivity issues have gotten so bad that I usually only have about 20 minutes at a time to do everything I have to do. That’s barely enough time to check my email.
Comcast is supposed to be coming today and fixing the problem (weak downstream signal,whatever that is) this afternoon.
Until I am fully operational, [...]

Limited Connectivity

Tuesday, July 19th, 2005

Thanks to Hurricane Emily and the corporate slothfulness of Comcast, I have had limited or no Internet connectivity for the past few days. I have been trying to sneak in what I can when a window of opportunity arises.
The upside of that is that I have been making some good progress on the [...]
