Does this make you want to buy a car? I didn’t really want to get a new C3500 Silverado Pickup – even with all the repaires I’ve had to make to my pickup, but then I saw this three story tall blue gorilla, and I think I may have to change my mind.

As I stated in yesterday’s post, I am no fan of Halloween. Besides the obvious links to the occult that anyone with an I.Q. greater than that of a common lap poodle should be able to see, along with the fascination with all things death, I heard an interesting point the other day. In ancient [...]

I just got back from my second interview in Granite City. I got the job! I’ll be starting November 10th, about a week and a half away. I’m mildly excited about getting the job, and that will change to wild excitement when I have finished the first year and the future looks good. It really [...]

Someone once said “asking a Christian to celebrate Halloween is like asking a Jew to celebrate Hitler’s birthday.” I think that says it all. With that [...]

Those greedy weasels managed to leach $200 out of me to get my heat working, and what’s worse is all they did was flush the coolant system. Half that was to run a diagnostic and the other half was the actual coolant flush. The saddest part of the whole thing was that I already had [...]

I’m sure if there is anyone actually reading this (I know I have at least one reader who is not me), you’re probably skipping over the Tivo updates. That’s okay, I write as much for my own enjoyment as anything else. Well, either way, this is my last Tivo entry for the forseeable future. It’s [...]

I just got off the phone with one of the guys at Miller in Granite City, where I had my interview last week. They want to do another interview! That makes me very happy . I should be meeting with him Friday morning. Hopefully in the end I’ll get a good long-term job, even if [...]

I’m starting to see why people buy new vehicles every two or three years. I always thought it was a little excessive. Well, if you’re going to put a few hundred bucks a month into a vehicle, you might as well make it car payments instead of maintenance! My pickup is in the shop right [...]
