I like to cook and I love food and I have to confess I've had many daydreams about having my own restaurant but I know it's way harder than you would imagine. I have seen so many places with good food fail quickly so I just stick to visiting other people's restaurants.

There's a good book about this called "The E-Myth Revisited".

There's a million stories like this. Restaurants are one of those businesses that people think they can run with no experience or just because they're good at cooking for dinner parties with their friends. Restaurants are complex, low margin businesses where you have to be good at about 10...

I find that the actual paint on the wall almost always looks much more intense than it does on the sample card. These days I find a color I like then go 2 shades lighter than I think I want and buy a small amount of paint (Sherwin Williams has pints for $9 for this purpose) and actually put it...

Passionate about astrophotography?

It's an interesting idea but I'll be surprised if the company actually survives.

I get parts from Rock Auto. They have a large range of parts depending on whether you want economy, OEM Equivalent, or performance. My buddy that's a mechanic tells me that their prices are pretty much the same as he pays for parts. They charge quite a bit for shipping though, so keep that in...

This is a good thought. Any time the electrical shit is flipping out in really crazy ways it's usually a grounding problem. I just had a weird problem with my Ecoboost F-150. First I was getting a misfire but replacing that coil (the same coil had gone bad a couple of years earlier) cleared...

This video tells you everything you need to know to understand sheep.

I know that. I'm just shooting the breeze here, not pretending to be a GM.

Buckner for a 4th seems like a no-brainer. I really wish they would have paid him the first time around and skipped the Hargrave, Kinlaw, Chase Young experiments but hindsight is 20-20 I suppose. Maybe they can get Armstead back too and have an Oregon reunion for the second time.

Yeah even with dogs I feel like 2 isn't much harder than 1. You're already feeding them, letting them out, getting someone to take care of them when you leave, etc. Adding the second one doesn't change much. I'm babysitting 5 this weekend and that's kind of a lot of dogs.

Maybe just keep your imagination to yourself.

Top Gun was definitely my favorite movie as a kid. I played the soundtrack so many times my cassette wore out.

This is such horseshit. Make it a blind taste test and I guarantee they couldn't pick out which was which. "Way better"? Sure buddy. These people have too much time on their hands.
