I’ve been neglecting the blog again. As I read over this summer’s posts, I find a number of things at which I have hinted and never followed through. Here then, in no particular order, are a few updates. First and most importantly: Sebastian. Sebby is still with us and going strong. The vet was amazedContinue reading “Truly random musings”

Sold the TDI back to VW today. I’m going to miss it, but it was the right thing under the circumstances.
Whoa Emmett!
Long before I knew her, Mrs. Mack505 had a habit of naming her cars. Since we’ve been married, each of our cars has had a name. Some have gone on to have nicknames, and nicknames for their nicknames. The current fleet consists of Emma, Connor, Hans, Featherstone, and the Batmobile. (Plus a pair of motorcyclesContinue reading “Whoa Emmett!”
Ram Tough, and a contest (P366 – 2/16)
1993 was a watershed year. Just out of college, I had the whole world before me. I began dating the future Mrs. Mack505 that fall, and then my beloved VW died. It wasn’t necessarily a terminal failure, but I had neither the skills nor the money for a major repair. I was off to theContinue reading “Ram Tough, and a contest (P366 – 2/16)”
Project 366 – week of 2/11
2/11 – One for me, one for her. If you’ve been reading the blog for very long you know which is which. 2/12 – Going ‘commando’ at work. Sweater, that is. My sweater has been with me since my first winter in EMS those many years ago. I finally had paramedic and company patchesContinue reading “Project 366 – week of 2/11”
Photo update – 3/28
Just catching up on a few photos: From back on 3/8 – I’ve mentioned the new ride but never shown it. Here it is at the bus stop in the morning, with ‘Dog is my Co-pilot.’ 3/21 – The calendar says spring, but no one told the weathermen. 3/21 – Jasmine watches over us byContinue reading “Photo update – 3/28”
The Return of Project 365
I find that I’m missing Project 365. I can’t guarantee that I’ll manage a photo every day, but I intend to start shooting and posting again. So without further ado. . . March 13 – In Quarters. . . March 14 – Making chips on the Sherline mill with Beth. I’ll learn brass soon,Continue reading “The Return of Project 365”
1/1/11
Today marks the official end of Project 365 for 2010. When I started it on 1/2/10, I had no idea where it would take me. With all of the negative memories from 2010, I’m glad I have a positive photographic record. In the end I missed a few days, and a few others have multipleContinue reading “1/1/11”
Wireless-less Wednesday, Another Milestone, and a 365 Update
I did it. I didn’t realize how often I check my email until I forced myself not to. I plan to make a habit of Wireless-less Wednesday. Updating photos: Overlooked from 11/13, Sebby and Jasmine doing something they rarely do: sharing. 11/21 – Moon over Mercedes. 11/22 11/23 – The second milestone for the week. Continue reading “Wireless-less Wednesday, Another Milestone, and a 365 Update”
Automotive milestone #1 (P365 – 11/19)
I climbed in my truck last night at lunch, and this was staring back at me: Take a closer look. Yes, I was a fan of the TV show many years ago. In fact it, Melrose Place, and laundry all figure early on in courting Mrs. Mack505. The universe has cute ways of sending usContinue reading “Automotive milestone #1 (P365 – 11/19)”
