150k Xterra Service Items
Found on Reddit, should be a good starting point. First and foremost: Radiator replacement and trans/coolant flush to prevent smod. I’m sure we all know what SMOD is but in case you don’t, 05-10 X’s have Calsonic radiators with a chance of having faulty trans-coolers. When the trans cooler leaks coolant gets into the trans…

Happy 4th of July!!!
After last night I was a little sore, not sure why, probably from hauling the chairs. Grabbed a basic breakfast sandwich and an energy drink and headed north to David and Keli’s place. Got there around noonish and spent the the afternoon in the pool. David, Keli, Johnny, Katie, Jeff, and Richard were the adults…

Hurst Stars & Stripes
It’s the third of July but the town is celebrating it today so we actually took the eBikes to it this year. I strapped a cooler to my bike and we threw the chairs on our backs and headed out, got there about 6:30 and sat in the sun for about 2 hours before the…

Azure It Is…
So me and my (not so) newly minted degree have been job hunting and not sure which direction to take. At PDS I learned Taleo which served me well to the tune of over 7 figures over 10 years. It was a wonderful ride and I was saddened to see it go, but it had…

My Multivitamin Tried to Kill Me
Well kill may be an over exaggeration but there were actually documented interactions with the prescription medications I’m on with one of them being fairly serious. This all came to be because of an update to Samsung Health allowing for medication tracking. I put the 3 maintenance meds I’m on in and thought that would…

I had used the Blackstone once when Johnny was here, long story short we broke Johnny that day and I didn’t get a chance to clean the cast iron properly and it was a rusted mess. I (once again) wish I had been smart enough to do a before but at least here is the…

San Angelo SP
We’ve been here before but it’s always nice to hang out at the park. It’s the last trip out this season as summer is almost upon us and it’s just not fun to camp in the summer in Texas. The air conditioner struggles to keep the heat at bay while the sun makes the outside…

Job Offer Accepted
Funny how life works out. I accepted a job offer which will see me assisting an organization off of Taleo. Super excited about it because I know what I’m doing and I should be able to make a positive impact on the organization. So I’m booked for at least the next couple of months.

Job Offer Declined
I should probably have my head examined but I turned down a job making 70k a year, it was remote too. But I just didn’t feel it, it was a data entry position and they would provide the hardware and it was a mac. I think that I would have done well but I can…

Mothers Day
Mom wanted ribs for mother’s day and who am I to say no:) Got up at 8am and fired up the smoker and started the ribs. Mom, sis and Ron came over and we had ribs, corn on the cob and baked beans while the grass eaters had salmon, salad and broccoli. We had cake…
