Someone bought a Chebbie Chevette for $33K. EPAutos.com Would you pay $33,000 for a 1987 Chevy Chevette? Apparently, someone just did. It’s got low miles – just 47 – so it’s basically a brand-new 1987 Chevette. But nonetheless, a 1987 Chevette. It weighed about 2,000 lbs. because it came with not much more than a … Continue reading A $33K Chevette?

Resolutions?
It was an interesting New Years. One of the things you'll notice during some holidays in Texas is a certain amount of happy fire. In Plano, that sound would be far off. You'd hear a distinct series of reports, all clipped, in an evenly spaced 6, 7, or 15 pattern. Clearly not firecrackers. So you'd … Continue reading Resolutions?
Happy Veteran’s Day
It's veteran's day, and it appears I have the day off. Good thing. I have things to do before I head out this weekend. Starting with a cardiologist appointment this morning. It's a long story. Way back, I though I was having a heart attack, so I went to the hospital. Turned out to be … Continue reading Happy Veteran’s Day
Not a Fan
There's a guy at my Church that does physical/occupational therapy that holds sessions every week as a ministry. Several of my friends (older ones) go to these. One, in particular, always wore the same type of Nikes I used to buy. As a testament to their declining quality, you could hear him coming from across … Continue reading Not a Fan
Time is Flying
Good lord, look at the date! September is flying past. October is fast approaching and I'll be deep into finding another place to live. The Chinese slum house I'm in now was simply the best, closest one I could get for what I wanted to pay. I can afford plenty more in rent, but that'll … Continue reading Time is Flying
Getting Fit
I didn't do a fitness post at the start of the month. Didn't seem to have much to say. I tipped the scales at 188. My weight has been in a 5 lb range for most of the year. That tells me my diet and exercise are on track. A little less eating out, more … Continue reading Getting Fit
I Need Me a Towrolla
Lately, in my head is the idea to build a tow-rolla: Found on Puddin's Fab Shop, on the youtubes. https://youtu.be/aQpoBhPrIGw?si=8KTY5Rx51ox0Hmkq Damn those cars are tough. He's been pulling and pushing cars with it like a tractor. The ATF? Looking Ok. almost normal. Did you read that famous Craigslist ad? Let me tell you a story. … Continue reading I Need Me a Towrolla
Bible Study
I stumbled upon a cool bible study. Somewhere along the line, I got hooked into Dry Creek Wrangler school. Duane there has a great voice, and while working with horses is interesting, he'd do other vidyas where he'd take lessons from riding and apply them to life. Like this: https://youtu.be/7Aqw2NWNWro?si=BlmKWoRSMUH-3KKt He did a couple on … Continue reading Bible Study
A Prodigal Son Returns
It had been a minute since I've been to an AA meeting. So I went. Mostly to celebrate my one year of sobriety, but for some reason I felt I needed to, or should go. I met one of the older ladies on the way in. Once in, there were more than a few new … Continue reading A Prodigal Son Returns
Happy Earf Day!
As usual, earth day snuck up on me. As PJ O'Rourke once said he did, I celebrated it by snacking high on the food chain and mixing all my recycling into the garbage. I went out to burn some hydrocarbons with the hot rod bike. I had a far different post planned and mostly written … Continue reading Happy Earf Day!
