A few nights ago I stumbled across a story at Blu-ray.com that described a minor problem with Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean Blu-ray release. To be honest, I do not think I would ever notice the problem. I have not even watched any of my Pirates movies, but I figured what the heck, I need [...]

2007 Bowl Predictions (Day 2)

No comments

Another day, another Bowl game.  Today we get a classic match up between Florida Atlantic and Memphis in the New Orleans Bowl.  Once upon a no so distant past, this was North Texas territory, but as I said, we get a different sort of compelling game between the best in the Sun Belt and the [...]

2007 Bowl Predictions (Day 1)

No comments

Fairly simple tonight as things kick off with Navy and Utah in the Poinsettia Bowl.  I know the betting lines are going with Utah, but I am going to support Navy.  Option attacks rule!

The drive to 10K (and beyond).

No comments

Just noticed that I am inching closer to 10K spams to hit (or try to hit the site). Akismet has caught 9,947 spam for you since you first installed it. While I think it is very impressive that Akismet has caught so much spam (very little gets past it), it is very pathetic that so [...]

Right before Thanksgiving I wrote that I sent the scope that came with my Sierra Pro back to Crosman for warranty repairs (or exchange). The new scope arrived a little over a week ago. Our story begins with me sending a customer service email to Crosman asking about my scope. A nice lady (Kim) responds [...]

Last weekend, to reward myself for hard day of working in the yard, I sampled a couple of cold ones (Georgia Brown and a High Life), and decided to take some target practice. I was on the hunt looking to eliminate a pest or two from the backyard. Some call in cruel, mean and hateful, [...]

Pellets aplenty (part 2 of 2)

No comments

The Crosman lead free pellets were a great idea, but poorly implemented due to their super low weight. Maybe I am being a little harsh, but I do not think these things are going to work well in any decently powered air rifle. I should have realized something was up by the warning on the [...]

Pellets aplenty (part 1 of 2)

No comments

When I purchased my Crosman Sierra Pro (from now on CSP or Sierra Pro) I also picked up a tin of Crosman .177 Field Hunting Pointed pellets (7.9 gr), which worked well enough, but I got the bright idea that all that lead in my backyard was not such a good idea. I ordered some [...]

Delta Delivers

As I wrote last night, my suitcase did not arrive with me; it was left in London.  Lucky it was tracked, found, and was on it’s way back to me (see Delays below). Last night someone showed up at the front door at 11:30PM.  Needless to say, in this day and age, you do not [...]

Funny how you tend to remember stupid stuff. On my second business trip, for a long forgotten company called Still Current Design, my bag did not make it to Des Moines, Iowa. Delta delivered it to me later that day. All was right with the world. Yesterday, on my “I forget how many business trip,” [...]

Too much to blog about …

2 comments

It has been a while since I bothered to update this blog. I am surprised that anyone is still reading, but here we are and so I write. I have decided I like some good old fashion country music, which plays into my most recent UK trip, but I am getting ahead of myself. First [...]
