Zoom Zoom!

I finally did it…traded in the Honda and got a 2008 Mazda 3i. They call the color “Sunlight Silver Metallic.” Got a black interior. I’m so relieved! This is one SWEET car!

When I was handed the keys, there were 4 miles on the odometer. It’s sooooo comfy! Can hardly feel the road! That was a big gripe (one of many) with the Honda – The Mazda feels like flying above the road rather than being dragged about a foot below its surface, as with the Fit.

Got the Sirius satellite radio thingy too. I don’t know if I want to subscribe to that – it’s another $13/month. Maybe after I win the lottery I’ll get it on my 6-Series. Whatever. That was the only option…everything else was standard – this car was in the lot waiting when we stopped in to have a look-see. I got a great deal for the trade-in and a great finance rate. Topping it all off, the Sirius was a freebie!

May tint the windows later this year and get the plastic thingies that go over the windows…we’ll see. Maybe the gang at Unique can upgrade it.

I just wish I did it last year – would have saved me a lot of headaches.

This is too much…

Linky

Just added a few links on the right side, there.  Yeah, right there. 

I don’t edit this blog very often, but it’s something I’d like to do more.  Anyone out there with something to say can contact me and become a contributor.  Just sayin’.

I’m being attacked!!!

This video shows a squirrel attacking my house.  Can you believe this?

Caliente

Just had chili and rice from the deli around the corner.  Damn, that stuff sure is hot. 

How do you train these?

Found this linked from engadget.com – microbes that may inspect aircraft for structural damage.  Will the microbes fly off the wing once it gets airborne?  Interesting, but weird, eh?  And just what exactly is agar?

Can you believe this crock?  Gotta sign off now and book my flight!  Hellllooooooo Travelocity!!

Things I have done to bother my boss

Installment one (1) in a multi-part posting.

I have been trying to drive my boss crazy* for the last 2 years.  All efforts have been in vain (although quite funny) because, it seems, someone already beat me to it.  It started off small, like me walking backwards whenever I passed his office.  I have had 2 accomplices in this prank.  Frank, always one for some fun, accepted with no hesitation.  Gene (he can write books and give lectures on the subject) has had some good suggestions.  We’ll see some of them later.

Once I figure out the specifics of uploading and creating pages with the WordPress place thing, I will add some pictures of my evilness.  I bet you can’t wait. 

Watch this spot…..you may even see yourself in some of the pictures!

*It is worth mentioning that I don’t want to do anything damaging, like sending nasty email from his computer.  I prefer to do things more subtly, and therefore more sophisticated.

Look What I Found on Amazon. . .

Looking around for computery things and came across this gem:  Amazon.com Industrial and Scientific.   You know how much you always needed that stainless-steel hypodermic tubing in 0.00425 in od?  Now’s your chance to stock up!  Also makes a great gift item now that the holidays are approaching!  Woo-hoo!!!

Giving it a shot

I’ll try this for a tad.
