The Hulsey property next to ours has been put on the market with a target towards contractors who might want to split up the property and build multiple units. They have 18000 sq. ft. so they could easily put 4 houses on there. We need to get out of here fast or figure out some […]

So last week the car started running hot and running rough. When I stopped for gas I looked under the hood and realized I did something really dumb. When last I added a quart of oil a few weeks ago (it needs a quart every few thousand miles) I forgot to put the oil cap […]

This morning I went to ride to work and the motor wouldn’t run. No reaction at all from the throttle control. However the lights still worked. I didn’t recall a fuse on any of the wires for the motor so it’s either the controller or a loose wire. I popped up the panel in front […]

Nicole was visiting her family in Sacramento today (that’s not the suck part) and as she was starting her way home she got in an accident! She’s ok but has some pain (not surprising). I’m waiting to hear what she wants me to do as she’s going to attempt to drive it to her brother’s […]
