I just wanted to add a couple of pics…

I was taking some shots today so I could post some crap on usedottawa.com when I decided to snap one of the bike. Pretty booyeah I'd say.

Why can't I just post more shit here? Have I just run out of shit to rant about? Is this just a diary of the stupid things that fill my life up with whatever my life is full of? Anyways, tonight we took the boat out for the first real spin of 2010. Boo fuckin' yeah.

I am sitting here with my window open and I can still hear friggin' cicadas outside. I'd be just fine with another 6 weeks of summer (even though some of the summer toys have been put away already).

Back it up chumps… here's what's going on!

TLAP Day!

How does that saying go? Red sky at night… blah blah blah

Photo taken from the boat (facing northwestish) while parked at the dock - September 2, 2009

Time to start planning a trip south for the winter eh?

I just HAD to post a link to this image.

I found this stupid photo

and I think it is just freakin' hilarious. I realize it should make me disappointed to be human but it just weirds me out in a humorous way. Does his mother know he had this photo taken? Does his girlfriend?

Yeah, so I want a pontoon boat. Just something to go puttin' around on now and then, nothing TOO fancy. Well, maybe something fancy. :-) I looked at one for $19,500 that was really nice but I thought it was too fancy for me (you know, being a hick and all). I checked out some new ones today and the prices suck. I'll be checking a few local websites [like this one and this one] to see if I can find something for less than 20k that is still not a total pile of crap.

Well I bought a new dock. It's a 24 foot long and 6 foot wide Fendock and it looks friggin' sweet. It is in the water and now I just have to cover it with a crapload of wood. I am also liking what I see of Abilon (the RSS Reader) so far, we'll see what it does when I post this crap. The dog is wet, the Dragon Festival is on, and I'm cookin' dinner.

I want to see what happens to Abilon when I post this message.

So now that I got my shit together (websitically speaking) I went back through my posts from "pre-9-months-ago" to see what I was doing when this thing was last working. As it turns out there were a few things left open ended that I want to update (just cause I am an asshole like that).

Eddie Griswold is of course now a Legendary Defender Of Ascalon. He has been for sometime now and I will do my best to include a nifty screenshot of him as soon as the dragon festival is over (I have to stand in a ring for a while). The whole process of becoming LDoA took about 10 months but could be done in about 4 by someone who knows how to pull charr and level them. He also has a Jungle Troll minipet that he obtained on his first birthday and can often be found hunting ales from Ft. Ranik or grabbing a Lever Chimp on his way to The Northlands.

I forgot all about Newz Crawler, perhaps because it turned out to be suckier than I thought, perhaps because it turns out RSS really isn't that cool after all, pewrhaps because I don't try hard enough. Whatever the case may be, I have setup a VM with Newz Crawler v1.9 Beta and I'll see what it can do. Again.

The original "Trip To Space" posting was about the Gillett contest which is now closed. Since then I have actually made a Space Pact with someone I know (possibly 2 people actually). The idea is that if I win the lottery (or have some other bitchin' free surprise money) then I have to pay for both of us to go to space. And vice versa. So if the third person is really "on board" and if the first person agrees to the third person's "onboardedness" then we have all just tripled out chances of going to space.

Finally, the bike is a ball but is need of a few things… such as gas tank repair, new rear tire, replace broken rear fender strut, steel braided cable covers, larger rear turn signal lights and a soul.

That covers what was going on before the website lockout of 2007/2008… since then, has been a retarded mess of divorce, renovations and the realization that I simply don't belong in this place. I'm sorry I just don't know how to play along with it all. How terribly painful.
