“I’m Just a Salty Dog From the Salty Sea . . . “

Sunday, April 29th, 2007

I think stole that title from a Monty Python skit, correction, keen observer Zareh points out that that quote is from a ‘Pink Panther’ movie.  I stand corrected.
This last Thursday a half dozen of use boarded the Big Game 90 for a saltwater fishing overnighter to San Clemente Island. We were hoping for a [...]

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007

Well, at the least the Friday practice and qualifying.
After having taken a break from the Long Beach Grand Prix, Serge and I decided it was time to dip our feet back in the oil.

Pot Pie specialist closer to home!
A while back I wrote about the San Diego Chicken Pot Pie Shop. It was fun, cheap, and yummy adventure. A few weeks ago I was chatting with my friend Beth and she mentioned that her folks pick up pot pies when they go get their hair cut. [...]

No fish caught, but I met a duck.
A couple weeks ago a went fishing at Puddingstone and worked several shores for the day, but I came up empty handed. It wasn’t so bad since this duck decided to hang out with me for a good half-hour or so.

Wednesday, April 4th, 2007

All is well in the world again!
After starring at the Honda Helm manual pages and looking at flow charts and rereading the transmitter sync procedure for the 10th time I decided try something different. According to the manual you hold the valet button for at least 5 seconds until you hear the doors unlock. [...]

Remote Keyless Entry = Broken . . .

Wednesday, April 4th, 2007

Wow, I must be lazy!
Couple weeks ago when I got back from Vegas I went to get my car from the Airport lot I left it at and my remote keyless entry wasn’t working.  I pressed and pressed and pressed the button but nothing.  This also arms and disarms the alarm so I wanted it [...]

Who doesn’t love In-N-Out!
Found a very cool sequence of photos over a nuxx.net documenting one man’s need to consume an In-N-Out 20 x 20. Oh, with a small Coke.

The Burger!

The Man!
You can see the exciting conclusion over at nuxx.net here.
I’ve never ordered anything larger than the mythic 4 x 4. My favorite, but [...]
