Postcards From Myself

My Keyholder

Michael — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 01:21:51 +0000

Just a bit Brit there. The Cat’s Meow plaque holder is obviously from the Mini Meet in 2002. Then there is a Mini key fob, the keys to my TR4 on a Triumph key fob, two MG key fobs and a Corgi toy car one. You can’t see it in this picture, but on the back of the Corgi / MF ring is an SU carburetor adjusting tool.

What Visions Are These?

Some nights our dreams are presents from the future, other times they filter in as ghosts from the past.

Tethered Speeds with PdaNet

Michael — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 23:22:10 +0000

I ran a speed test while using PdaNet to tether my MacBook to my Android based LG Ally earlier today. The test showed horrible speed, but I will say that it didn't feel that bad. I was deep within a pretty thick building near a lot of mechanical equipment, so I expected not-so-great speed. But the big thing for me was that it actually worked and was usable. By the way, this test was run using Speakeasy Speed Test.

The New (old) Car

Michael — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 20:30:37 +0000

We just got a new, old, car that will be our run-around-town and safe-on-gas transportation. This 1994 Eagle Summit ES has been in the family of a good friend for many years and served them well. Hopefully it will server us just as well.

24 Years of Marital Bliss

Michael — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 14:22:29 +0000

Hard to believe, but as of today Nancy and I have been married for 24
years. Many of you will find it even harder to believe that she has
put up with me for that long. Well I totally concur! Between old
British cars, incurable collecting, the occasional smelly cigar,
erratic moods, a very punny sense of humor and so much more, she puts
up with a lot. Well I just want to say “thank you”.

Thank you to my wife of all these years for being by my side and
having my back. Thank you to the mother of our children for help to
rais such great kids. And most of all, thank you to my best friend for
sharing so much. It is because of her that I can look forward to many
more years.

So, Nancy, Happy Anniversary!!

New cars – very small ones

Michael — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 11:25:01 +0000

I was actually browsing the toys at our local grocery when I came across these new models. A Hot Wheels VW Scirocco, a Datsun 510 Bluebird, and a Matchbox Porsche 914. Actually I don’t know if they are really new, or just new to me.

I was able to hold myself back from buying them all only because they don’t fit into my British collection, but they were still cool! In the end though both Matchbox and Hot Wheels remained on the pegs and I stuck with buying necessities. Like Pop Tarts.

Another Good Book

Michael — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 22:46:04 +0000

Just finished reading ‘Stonefather’ by Orson Scott Card. It is supposed to be the precursor to a new series by him, by I don’t think anything else has been published yet. This one was really a novella, but very good. Would love to read more in the series.

Ok, so maybe they were all swimming and I was kicking back with a cigar. Regardless, all were relaxing!
