22/365: 46 – (OH BLEEP!)
Jumping ahead a bit to today. I was a bit late for work thanks to a Subaru. First time in over 20 years, and that one was not my fault either. I’m fine. The Honda, as you can see, is not. Thanks to the magic of cheap dash cams and editing you can experience the […]

Truly random musings
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 amazed […]

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 motorcycles […]

Ram Tough, and a contest (P366 – 2/16)

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 multiple […]
