aftermath
Amy and I decided to spend the day driving around Vermont since open-moonroof weather decided to suddenly grace us. Got a bit of a sunburn. 🙂 Actually, I did my 15k oil change first thing, and then we headed out. There wasn’t much of a plan, other than to head west, and we did a […]

Good riddance 2011! 2012 is already looking up!

the very first time
The snow flew yesterday morning and started accumulating after dark. In related news, I bought a car cover a month or two ago. So traumatized was I by the amount of pine sap and needles that were accumulating daily that I was on the verge of having the trees cut down. Seriously, I made calls. […]

when a plan comes together
I know probably four of five people have paved the road ahead of us so I should just relax, but we put a meal together tonight that was almost entirely home grown or made. Tomatoes and herbs from the garden and pasta from our little hearts. Awwwwwwwwwwww. Butter was local, pine nuts probably not so […]

Our trip to […]

irene, not irie
Given the comments here, I thought I’d throw up a few local images I took of the aftermath. We live about 600′ above the Connecticut river and between here and there we have several little streams that feed down the hill and cross a few roads. Two of those crossings were washed out on Sunday. […]

sutton 2011
Amy and I are going away together at the end of the coming week to parts unknown, so we were unable to dedicate a full week to the Sutton experience, but my flexible work schedule allowed me to join in the fun for a couple of days. With Irene bearing down on us, many of […]

avian jihad
My car has declared war on birds, from sea to shining sea. I was flying down the highway this morning when a bird appeared in front of the car and then vanished. There was a lone feather on the windshield and a little detritus clinging to the mouth of the hood scoop, and I thought […]

phase 1 – partial failure
Well, mostly failure, let’s be honest. Removal of the glass involved two tiny screws on the bottom edge of the phone. Then you use a suction cup to lift the glass up out of the rest of the body. Since I didn’t exactly have a unified surface to pull on, I put a piece of […]
