Not all that long after getting the new car, in a color close enough to “TARDIS Blue”, I decided to go all in and get a custom plate: Full size/etc here: https://flic.kr/p/nYZR5m The things I do for a cheap laugh.

A Streetcar Named Marigny
When it was announced about a year ago that the Marigny would be getting added to the streetcar line, I had to change my pants.

I’ve been having issues with my reverse lights lately.… Continue reading One does not simply SSH into Mordor

I picked up an air filter and some new spark plugs and headed to his house this afternoon. We barely had time to pop open the hood… Continue reading Naughty, Dirty Sparkplugs!
