Road Trip from Heck
So yesterday (Veterans day) I had a few things to attend to at noon and then we got the great idea to go camping. The state park site has a great feature called ‘camping this weekend’ that shows you what parks have availability for the weekend, it’s not perfect because sometimes it doesn’t actually Friday/Saturday…

I have a new truck
So I have the truck back which makes me happy. It turns out that the error condition was corrected by an update to the firmware that controls the electronic throttle control. That is one thing that struck me about the new truck is how many electronics are on it. I went to return a library…

Vehicle Issues
So as alluded to in a previous post, the Chevy died on me and of course, I needed another truck. So this time I decided to go as top of the line as I could, yes it’s a bad time to buy a truck but it’s needed and I’m tired of having a truck that…

Back At It
So I went back to work last Monday, it was supposed to be a soft week where I caught up with a month and a half of emails and get things ready to jump in both feet this upcoming week. Well that didn’t work. Started with an issue that was damn close to impossible to…

Train Wreck
So to make a long story short, the vacation was cut short by the degradation of the engine on the Chevy. I can’t begin to explain my disappointment in the situation. I replaced the starter & fixed the oil leak that was being created by the dipstick being in wrong. I should have had another…

Last Day in MA
I’d like to say we did more but we’re here for a singular reason and to that end I believe we did well. It’s always sad when it’s time to say goodbye and you’re not sure when the next time we’ll see each other. We’ll try to get Sandy up here sooner rather than later,…

Pushing the Limit
I’m currently working on cleaning up my paper and need to throw together a video to turn in for my project. I’m almost there. Still need to get hours in at work and a quick project that I need to complete and set up the VPN, and pack. So we’re going to be a little…

Summer at a Close
It’s still warm but the heat has broken and its no longer 100 or above. It feels good to have rain again and watch the earth cool down. This is the last week I’ll be working for a bit. I’ve got task two turned in and waiting the results on it, I’ve begun task three…

Roger’s Memorial
Roger’s memorial was today. Mom, Cortney and I went, it was nice to get a chance to remember him. Although I didn’t know him well, he was one of the great ones. Truly one who wanted to help others. And during the memorial, I was struck that the more you assist and aid and help…
