Modern cars do have their advantages
As much as I love old cars, modern cars are have some pretty awesome advantages. Now these advantages aren’t always implemented very well but they are usually there. On my 1998 Honda Civic EX Coupe they implemented perfectly.
On Thursday the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Light, more commonly referred to [...]

Well, just for the night
Last night I went over to J & B’s to play cards. Oh the fun we had! J & B live by the Staples Center and parking was of a premium last night with a Laker’s play off game going on. We decided that we would sneak my [...]

That sure is a mouthfull!

Found an illusive set of instructions
Well, ‘illusive’ might be a strech. I am not a Lego collector. But, I did grow up playing with tons of Legos. Somewhere at my parents house are a few boxes with every Lego set I ever built. I have the boxes and instructions for [...]

Hey Rick, you’re not a doctor!
I was driving home from school the other night and saw this unique license plate:

Saw this on my way to school the other day

To the victor go the spolis!

Last night I meet up with Serge and company at the CBS Studios to see a live (and taped for the west coast) presentaon of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher.  The show was ok, probably not his best show.  I had never watched his HBO show but [...]
