My last roadtrip
Today, I am taking my last road trip. I am going to see my son wrestle in the National Freestyle Championships. It is the biggest wrestling tournament in the world! It is a double elimination tournament which means that you … Continue reading
Here we go again
I’d like to say I have no ego left, but that is evidently not true. I took my old F-150 in for service. Since my wife and son are both out of town, I had to stay at the shop … Continue reading
Clueless, the real version
As my youngest daughter and I drove to church, she remarked at how she loved the smell of her hair because of some mousse and gel she put in it. I remarked that she really enjoys smelling good things. She … Continue reading
I don’t quite know where we are going

It’s a great truck!
I towed the T-Bird to the painter’s house without any major events (other than locking up my brakes once when the car in front of me unexpectedly stopped at a green light!). I met the painter’s neighbor. Very friendly guy. … Continue reading
A gracious arrangement
I spent the better part of the morning putting the T-Bird back together. It has been in a state of disrepair since the accident. I don’t have a garage so I worked out in the open under a shared carport. … Continue reading
