Who thinks up this crap?

I think up stuff like this all the time. But what amazes me is someone actually thought this up and then acted on it.

Colorado? Montana? Tennessee? Arkansas?

Nope.

Dallas.

Had a great SCHEDULED surf sesh with some really good friends today. Some Pics here.

Winter Doldrums

Not much going on here. Just patiently waiting for springtime to come along. Life is good.

Really Bad Gas...

...purchasing experience yesterday. Possibly the worst I've ever had.

1. Second station because the first one had no pay-at-the-pump

2. Gas was pushing $3/gallon

3. 31 degrees and windy

4. Bad neighborhood with lots of panhandlers and thumping cars

5. Late for a surf session with my best friends

6. Had to pee

7. FORCED TO WATCH TV WHILE PUMPING MY GAS

That just sent me over the top.

Oh yeah, and

8. Print-out screwed up so I had to go inside anyway.

Kind of defeats the whole pay-at-the-pump thing now doesn't it.

Storage Is Cheap

Happy 2011 everyone! Yeah, it's that time of year again: time for empty promises and lying to yourself about what you are not going to accomplish this year.

As you might have read in one of my earlier entries, I don't make resolutions. But I do try to get rid of as much junk as I can throughout the year. This year I'm doing a slight twist. I am going to put everything in storage. Electronic storage, that is. This drive cost about $99. I figure that is about one and a half months rent at your basic storage facility. And, I will have this stuff to look at for decades to come.

By the way, in 1988 I financed a 40M (MEG. Yes, that is megabytes) hard drive for $500. So if you yunksters think I spent too much for this drive, go back to playing World of Warfare.
