I am here for Friends

About Me


I'm the proud proprietor of

I guess you could say that I am the neighborhood "car guy," and I'm always there to help a friend wrench on this or weld that. You won't see me turn down a good camping/recreational shooting trip. After the last two lines, I must sound like somebody who could be classified as gun-toting trailer trash, though I guarantee you that I am far from it. I am blessed to be engaged to a truly wonderful person (pictured below), and to have close friends and family in my life. I think that life is all about good memories with great friends and loved ones, and my goal in life is to make as many of those memories as possible. We're all stuck on a piece of rock that is hurdling through space at many thousands of miles per hour, so why not make the best of it, eh?

   

My Interests

I'd like to meet:


The wind can wear away the largest boulder
Always the stone to stand against the lightning
I try to carry the world on one shoulder
But without you my weaknesses will surely come out of hiding
The weight is almost too much for me to bear
It shortens my stride
So many fears could get the better of me
Know that I don't stand a chance without you at my side
That wind can put a cold expression on my face
But you're the only one I desire to embrace
I will always be the stone that shields you from the storm
Please don't resent me when stone can't always be warm

8/26/08 - A sad realization

I belong to a generation of people that are as un-original as could be possible, and that is depressing. Retro is the new cool. The new Mustang and the new Camaro look like the models that were sold t...

7/4/08 - My thousand mile week

Due to the current regime's brilliant economy, business is slow in most industries and my plant has been shut down this week. It was either lay folks off or shut down for a week so we chose to follow ...

6/1/08 - A new beater!

For a little while I had this old 4 wheel drive Toyota Tercel wagon. That thing was hideous... probably the most ugly piece of machinery to ever be sold on any dealership lot. It was sort of like the ...

2/3/08 - Not so bad, eh?

You know... It’s been a rough couple of years getting comfortable with this whole "responsible adult" thing, but it’s really not so bad anymore. Ilany and I have long grown out of our tiny...

11/19/07 - 1,132 is a Beautiful Number

I came home to 1,132 rounds in a box clearly marked "Small Arms Cartridges" on my doorstep the other day. Ordered in from the great state of Texas without even a requirement for a ...

7/7/07 - People

Living in the armpit of California (the "Inland Empire," as they call it) can give a person a serious dose of anti-social sentiment. We're all so packed together here... to the point that I think I co...

4/23/07 - Turbo chargers are yummy

Well, I just got the stronger/better STi gearbox into my WRX, so now I can afford to turn the boost up a bit... This thing is  f**king cool. I love turbo chargers.
