It used to be that everything had chipotle in it… now, I’ve grown similarly tired of “staycation”
VW Spin On Oil Filter
I bought a new A1 “sidewinder” exhaust system for the VW. Top of the line… the thing is, my oil pump has a spin on oil filter that interferes with the new exhaust. So I purchased a PermaCool oil filter relocation kit from Summit Racing and upgraded to a larger, remote oil filter.
I [...]
Displaced Southerner
This time of year, being from the South but living up North, two things occur to me:
I don’t miss the Southern heat.
I do miss crawfish.
Firing up the crawfish cooker and putting on a good crawfish boil on a sunny day really can’t be beat. Being the displaced southerner I am, every once [...]
No Fail Clay Projects
Hilarious… so (of course) I track where people come from and what they typed in to reach this site. Today, I spotted an incoming search from Yahoo for “no fail clay projects“. *L*, yeah! I rock that keyphrase. PolymerClayProductions.com, in #2 and #3, can eat my dust.
Soon, It’ll All Be Product Liability
Just a misc thought that, as health care gets better and better and humans’ lives are increasingly prolonged by artificial means, won’t there be a point where nearly all death will result in a product liability lawsuit? Some support mechanism will fail… or a drug won’t deliver as promised… etc. There’s a point where [...]
Good to Have SEO Friends
Professionally, I’m part of a growing (very smart) SEO team. It’s not usual that you can follow such diverse projects online. Some of the ones on my radar at the moment are in the updated Blogroll. Take a look. Fascinating, huh?
False Trunk Floor
So I put new front brakes, wheels and tires on the G. But the spare tire wouldn’t fit the front any more because of the huge calipers. So what do you do? Well, I got a 5th wheel-tire to use as the spare (no big deal) but, since it’s full size, it’s way taller [...]
Lower G35x
I originally dropped my 2004 Infiniti G35X (sedan) with Eibach Sportline springs (stock shocks up front, DSpecs in back - running on 18×8.5″ kazara rims, Eagle F1s - 245/18). The performance was great (0 body roll) but the ride was too rough - not on me, but on the car itself. So [...]
Griot’s Garage
I’m a hard sell when it comes to slick product packaging and the like. When I received my first Griot’s Garage catalog, I felt it was nice to look at high-end car care products but they probably weren’t for me. When my Infiniti needed a good interior cleaning, I decided not to go for the [...]
Divorce Law Must Be Good…
It used to be that personal injury was where all the money was in the legal field but, from what I’m seeing, divorce law is highly profitable right now. At work, we’ve picked up a number of clients focused on family law - specifically getting divorced & settling child custody cases. Is anyone [...]
