The Grandpa (or Dad) was trached on a ventilator, so I had some vent work/upper airway care to perform. They wanted none of it. Didn't help that I always wore black "Dickie" pants and black scrub tops.

Thing is that most skin-heads have nothing to do with white power. It's about music, Ska.
D'OH!

I've been hair-free thanks to alopecia for, geez, almost 15 years now-I blame it on my wife . I started shaving my head when the patches got noticible and eventually I didn't need to shave anymore. All the money I save on shaving cream, blades and shampoo help me justify my caffeine addiction.

As long as I avoid wearing black fatigues and jackboots I don't get much grief. Or maybe it's just my sunny f'n disposition

Little do people know how much I resemble the emoticons used in my posts.

This hump day is going most excellently for me. I'm looking forward to a fun trip this weekend, have made some decent sales recently, and it's nice and (relatively) cool outside.

Last night I experimented on my spare 280 motor and found that I can substitute a plastic 240 fan for the clutch fan on it and save probably three or four pounds on my autocrosser. Since the clutch fan is shot on it that will be a handy conversion at this time.

Autocross in Indy on sunday too.

Working and chillin'. Nice weather here, a bit humid but cooling off. Week ahead looks really nice. Warm days and cool nights, my favorite season. Going to tackle my aging backyard deck this weekend, also have to install some new windows. My 2 year+ house reno is nearing the end. Good thing because the lustre of buying new, cool tools to keep the reno going has worn off and I just want to finish the bastard.

Bill - congrats on the weight loss, that is amazing!

It's back to school day!

Contrary to popular belief, this is the most wonderful time of the year!
