Just whichever NPR affiliate comes in clearest on a drive.

Building up massive credit card debt was always my dad’s plan at the end. But sudden heart failure got him before that.

I have waffles memorized:

1.75 cups flour, 1tbsp baking powder, 0.25tsp salt, 2 eggs, 1.75 cups milk (creamy oat milk actually is even better), 0.5 cup canola oil.

We do fast for dinner once a week and this is my sons favorite, and my wife can’t eat dairy.

I helped run a Kickstarter where one of our rewards was Mac and PC software on custom USB sticks.

We had a couple hubs set up and cloned the drives 20 at a time.

Actually our dog does sit that way. He looks broken when he does it too. The rest of that photo is whack though.

Of course I can’t find a good photo of it now, but if you look closely you can see it in this one.

He’s a Swedish Valhund btw, weird little dog.

When I bought my Vanagon 8-9 years ago, the spare tire still said made in west Germany!

I replaced it along with the rest of the badly work truck tires that were on it.

I’m 46 and we got a 14.4 modem in around 1992-3 I think. We used gopher and ftp then later hotline to trade shareware, then warez and serialz.

I miss those days, but I don’t miss downloading 8 of 9 parts of a file and not being able to reconnect to the server for the last one.

I used to get to go inside to turn on check and setup the computer lab before school in jr high. Mostly spent cleaning rollers or looking for occasional missing mouse balls.

Got to play too if there was spare time, and it sure beat standing in a prison like asphalt court yard for 30 minutes in the winter dark.

Most of New England is named that way too. The problem is that the same road ends up with 2 names depending on which direction or end you are in.

Got luck getting an ambulance dispatched to the right place (in my unfortunate experience).

That’s an absurd amount if honking.

Try and record it if you do.

 

It was 5°F (-15°C) out. She would stand up and turn away when I opened the door to let her in. Then lay back down to watch us from outside after I closed it. The snow was so deep that The wind chill -5–10° probably wasn’t really affecting her at least.

 

They have the badminton rackets for knocking apples out of a wild apple tree across the field. We made a surprisingly tasty apple crisp with instant oatmeal and some vutter on the fire that night.

 

That’s all hand painted, no vinyl wraps here!
