    Opening day the Ravine

    Great day at the Ravine today. Place was rocking and a flyover with F-15s and a C130 tanker. My ticket partner is an Air Force Academy pilot who knew what was coming. Go Dodgers!

    Extreme skateboarding- Las Flores Canyon

    Took a sightseeing drive in the Malibu canyons yesterday. Going up the steep twisty part of Las Flores Canyon Road, minding my own business and encountered 8 dudes skateboarding down the road, full tuck, in the middle of the day, with traffic. Never seen that before. I think it’s nuts seeing...

    Oh crap, could it be true?

    In the car today with my smart ass kid. I used the blinker for a turn and he gave me a very loud round of applause. Apparently my turn signals don’t get much use, at least per him. Guess what brand of car I drive?

    Now THAT was a snowstorm

    Press usually exaggerates these weather events. Not this time. CO Front Range, near Boulder.

    Any other mad dashes to the florist?

    Just got back. Place was packed with dopes trying to save a last shred of dignity. Nobody would even make eye contact we were so ashamed. Just glad I didn’t have to resort to buying from the guy selling on the side of the road.

    Fine day in the Rockies

    Up to Grand Lake and Rocky Mtn Ntl. Park for some sledding. We rented the top shelf Ski Doos. Dam these sleds are fast, what a rush. 165 HP😳. Gonna feel it tomorrow. Taking the ride through Estes Park on the way home. Looks like snow forecast for the front range.

    Powder Day!

    Gotta start shoveling after coffee this morning. Should be some great mid-week skiing or snowmobiling up at Grand Lake. Maybe both.

    LA car culture

    Had a fine day in LA today with the daughter. I still read the car magazines and it’s fun to see so many cool sports cars on the roads here. ///M 5 Competition, ///M3 Competition, all manner of Porches, Ferraris, Lamborghini, etc. Hermosa Beach to Paradise Cove to channel my inner Rockford...

    Homeless - the left eating their own

    Supreme Court agreed to hear the appeal of the ruling by the ultra liberal 9th Circuit regarding removing homeless from public (ours, the taxpayers) places. Hilarious to see Newsom and others on the left actually supporting the case to overturn the 9th circuit. Certainly have sympathy for the...

    Incandescent lights to LED

    5,500 sq ft house built in ‘02 and a shitload of incandescent lights and Lutron switches, some dimmable, some not. With the order to stop incandescent lights, what is everyone doing? When I replace some lights with LED, (1) sometimes get flickering, (2) they work or (3) just flat out don’t...

    For the lazy last minute shoppers

    Check out Sharper Image. Didn’t know they still existed, but saw a catalog laying around. For the wife, I’ve got Christmas and a birthday on 12/29 for which to buy. They’ve got some cool stuff in there, pretty much got my shopping done. Whole family was sick, so on-line was out of necessity...

    Wow, nice end of year rally

    First time Powell has uttered those magic words “interest rate cuts” and the market runs wild. I’m smiling, hope you are too.

    Blackberry . . . the movie

    Just watched it on the flight back to Denver. I thought it was really good. Brought back many memories. Vivid illustration of how fast demand can disappear in the tech world.

    Ohio

    I hope the Republicans are paying attention. May be too much to ask, but one can always hope.

    Boat drag races Firebird

    I’ll be out there on Sunday. Looking forward to the annual trek to the venue that is rumored to be closing every single year. Might as well call it Lazarus Lake. Hope to see some TFHs.

    Longest car shopping exercise

    Finally concludes. Started couple years ago, ordered an Escalade at MSRP and felt lucky. Chip shortage caused them to drop Super Cruise, told them to pound sand. Finally settled on an X7. Snuck the ///M suffix in on the Mrs., hope she doesn’t notice. 😳 And goodbye to a trusted good friend...

    Beware MGM hack

    For anyone with an account with MGM, especially if you have a credit card on file, looks like the hackers have their (our) information. Since hearing about the breach, I have been monitoring our cards and sure enough today, 4 bogus charges already. And yet another credit card must be cancelled...

    Bring the feed bag

    Work buddy from Mattel (we’re both retired) stumbled across these at the local meat market. Done to perfection. That’s Red Rocks off on the distance. Retirement sucks. All you youngens’, please keep working to help out us poor pensioners 😀

    Another successful hammer repair job

    Pool heater wouldn’t light. Pilot light was lit, just wouldn’t start. Brought out the trusty rubber mallet, smacked it a few times muttering “there’s more where this came from.” The heater got religion and stepped back in line. We will see if the pesky thing decides to start acting up again.
