House of 1000 Corpses

My sister loves horror movies. She can’t get enough of them, and “House of 1000 Corpses” is one of her favorite. She loved it so much that took the day off work to see the sequel (currently in theaters) “The Devil’s Rejects“. Anyway, I decided I shoudl see why she liked it so much and […]

More on intermittent scooter power

Occasionally when I go over a bump I feel the power cut out on the scooter for a second. I thought it might be where the splice in the line to the motor is from when changing tires on these was an unknown. I just checked that yesterday and all those splices are solid, not […]

New pens!

I really dislike the Bic-knockoff pens we have in our office. “Value Plus” Medium Pt. India, because Bic pens are too expensive? These pens go dry if you set them down for 10 minutes and you have to write a little for the ink to start flowing again. They also seem to be high friction […]

Dumb dogs

When we left to go to the store last night the dogs wanted to go. We didn’t want them to go so they stayed home, but they decided they would eat something to show their displeasure. When this happens they generally don’t greet us when we come home because they know they did something they […]
