Annoyance

Received a call from ShopRite (on a Sunday, at 1pm) asking me if they could ask me some questions – customer satisfaction type stuff. I asked how long it’d take – 15 minutes, she said! Are they nuts? I’d have given you 5 minutes but let’s say I value my time at $100 an hour. You’re asking me to give you $25 worth of my time? No way.

Don’t you hate it when…

Updated VW Pics

The VW is pretty well finished. I figured out the last few problems with the door solenoids and seem to have it running pretty well. The front driver’s wheel has a positive camber that needs to be fixed… so here’s a summary of the car at present.

Wow, it’s been way too long

Talk about getting behind… I’ve got so many projects going, all of my blogs have been neglected. So what’s new around here?

Oooh, I got rid of the Infiniti G35x and replaced it with a 2005 Cadillac CTS-V. 400hp… it’s a 4 door Corvette, very nice.

That’s not my car pictured, but it’s the same model. It’s a blast to drive, that’s for sure.

The house is good… pets are good (we got a new cat – an orange tabby).

New projects? Hmmm, like I say, everything has been neglected lately. My main hotel reservations site has fallen to page 6 for “hotel reservations” – that’s no good. I still enjoy having the crawfish site to sell boilers, seasonings and cookbooks – take a look and buy a crawfish cooker if you’re so inclined.

Misc thought: Curb Your Enthusiasm is the best TV show ever.
