Poor Rye…
Friday, February 27th, 2004

Our little dog Rye has had a lot of bad luck for the past couple of weeks. She’s a half Doberman, half Border Collie mix, and has a bit of trouble with her hips. She’s slow to get up after she’s been laying down for a while, especially after long runs. We’re pretty sure she […]

Honda Element
Friday, February 13th, 2004

My wife and I picked up our new car yesterday, a 2004 Honda Element 2WD EX. It’s our first ever brand new car, so we’re pretty excited about it. We traded in the other two, as both had high mileage and were requiring a lot of repairs. Especially my wife’s Jeep, which had major transmission […]

CRASH
Tuesday, January 20th, 2004

My poor wife hasn’t been having much luck with cars for the past 6 months or so. Last year her car was hit twice while she wasn’t even in it. Then she used my car for a few days and someone hit that car too, while she was at work. The damage was minor to […]

Busy Busy Busy.
Tuesday, December 9th, 2003

Been really busy at work lately with the holidays and everything. We have several retail web sites and they are all getting a lot of traffic and sales so I have been working 12 hour days most of the last week or two. Then going home, eating, and going to bed when I get home […]

Derek Rose - Handyman
Thursday, October 2nd, 2003

I am now, at least in my mind, an official member of the handyman’s club.

One, maybe two of you might remember my post about our water leak from a couple of days ago. We finally got a few estimates, which ranged from $900 to $200 (if we bought the supplies and rented a ditch witch), […]

Heat, Electricity, Clutches
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2003

Not long after my Fires, floods, robberies, and falling trees post, I have to make this post. Why can’t anything just go “right” for once?

Last week our air conditioner in the house stopped working. We had the guy come out and look at it ($70 just to come look at it!!), and he discovered that […]

Speed Dreaming
Thursday, August 14th, 2003

I dreamed that I got a traffic ticket last night. I don’t remember what for. But I think my court date is scheduled for the 15th of next month, so I’m not going to sleep that night so I don’t have to go. If they try to put me in sleep prison for missing my […]

My Bloginality Personality
Sunday, August 10th, 2003

Hey, that rhymes!

My Bloginality is INTP!

As an INTP, you are Introverted, iNtuitive, Thinking, Perceiving.
This makes your primary focus on Introverted Thinking with an Extraverted Intution.

This is defined as a NT personality, which is part of Carl Jung’s Rational (Knowledge Seeking) type, and more specifically the Architect or Thinker.

As a weblogger, you might not be as […]

Fires, floods, robberies, and falling trees.
Tuesday, August 5th, 2003

It’s been quite a week for my wife and I and our extended family…

First of all someone backed into my car a week or so ago and dented the driver’s side door up pretty badly. Luckily they notified us of it instead of running off, so their insurance is covering the damages. The door has […]

Note to Self: Stop drinking photographic chemicals
Friday, August 1st, 2003

After reading an article on one of the chemicals contained in Mountain Dew and other Citrus sodas, I’d really like to try to stop drinking Mountain Dew, or any soda for that matter. However I feel like Fry in the Slurm Factory a lot of the time. Even after he found out that Slurm actually […]
