Progressive Dinner Date
A while back I bought my wife and I a book from a company called The Adventure Challenge. I got the Couples Edition because it was supposed to be filled with great date ideas. I thought this would be something great for my wife and I. It has scratch off squares so you don’t know…
VW engine update
I got the engine out of the car without too much trouble. It takes a while to get all the parts off the engine before I can actually get the engine out of the car. In total it took about 2.5 hours (maybe 3). I had a bit of time between start a finish due…

Ford Update
Got the Ford back on Saturday. They took care of the recalls on it, and replaced the bushing (and another seal) on the CV axle. YEAH! AND – I got an inspection report on the car as well from Ford. Most of it was “these are things that should be taken care of” recommendations. I…
Love of Vinyl
I like listening to records. I know that may sound weird to some of you, because I am also a big fan of technology, and records may seem like the opposite of technology. But I love it. I can remember listening to records once in a while when I was a kid at my parents…
