I don't know how the subway here is still open. It's in a terrible location. At the end of a dead end street where you would never see it if you didn't know it was there, behind a couple other fast food places. Besides the terrible, overpriced sandwiches that are at every subway, the...

I sometimes use "Pepper" by the Butthole uSurfers to start a stream on YouTube music. Always gets you a nice mix of weird music from the 90's. The other song I like for that is "Short Skirt, Long Jacket" by Cake.

I used to have one every time they came out but my reaction was always 'Oh yeah, this isn't that good.". Haven't had one in years.

I get it. I'm a 49 year old cattle rancher on a multi-generational place and it's a lot of work and not a lot of free time and not a lot of money but having something to do every day that you're passionate about can be better than money and free time. My restaurant daydreams are just about...

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.
