Back when my garage was built, the biggest Chevrolet car could fit comfortably inside. The 3100s (1/2-ton) weren't much larger. The 3400s (3/4-ton) & 3600s (1-ton) were longer, yes, but no wider than the 3100s.
What a difference ten years makes. Now think about this: my 3/4-ton, fullsize truck has roughly the same dimensions as the current mid-size Chevrolet Colorado. There is no way I...

That's what I get for being an "early adopter". The Sony DVD player I bought in 1998 for $500 still runs like a champ, though. 
The addendum to the previous entry made me curious about my former home in the Rockies, so I've been perusing various things from Grand County for the past few hours. Findings? My old elementary school has had another addition, the bus route I took for eleven years is still being driven by the same man, and very few teachers that I knew are still employed...

An air raid siren at 1PM on the first Saturday of the month can mean only one thing:
THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING, THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING!!!
By God those heathen Commie bastards will never take me! Better dead than Red.

I have returned to the snowless Winter Wonderland. Joy. No mail, no messages on my machine. I should go on vacation more often.
CO was neat. Not only was my Christmas shopping snowed out for two days (three feet at my parents' house! ), but I saw neither hide nor hair of my sister's idiot beau. I even got to watch all three hours of...

I think we are supposed to see rocky balboa this evening or something like that lol
Tomorrow I head out to CO for a week. I hear there's snow out there!
Tonight my starter died. No big deal, I'll just rebuild it in the bank parking lot, right? WRONG. I fragged the damn thing. There wasn't a single intact part at the rear of the motor. Brushes, holders, commutator--all destroyed. Luckily there are four auto parts stores nearby. Unluckily, not a...

happy santa day!
I am listening to KTCL's "E-leven" (or, as I knew it when I lived in CO & WY, "Electronica @ Eleven"). Oh how I have missed it so.
Technology is good, yes?

I don't get it.
When they switched in October 2003, their justification was, "The old pink and grey looked too much like an Easter basket."
Well done, SG. Now it looks like the Easter bunny threw up. Kudos on the improvement.

Hows the house coming?
nirbhao:
thank you
Tomorrow I head to NY for the annual SYH & Gramma Thanksgiving Extravaganza. Wednesday through Monday. Saved myself $70 on airfare that way. That's like two-and-a-half days' mortgage!
In other news, I have updated my house pics. My floor looks spiffy. The rest of the house...not so much.

It's an oh-two. But good guess.

I love what you did with the backyard lawn. The brown walls are icky. Glad you're keeping the bathroom tile because it looks decent and why put money into that when you could put it into something else? Also, It's SO good that you're getting rid of the yellow with that deep purple. Yech. 
Oh, and wood floors are kuhl. LOL Cool beans on the whole project. Now I'm totally siked because I can take a place that sucks and turn it into something good. (You know, when I've got a high paying job ). Keep the transformation pictures coming. This is like the most exciting thing I've seen since my few moments with HGTV! And I LOVED HGTV.

Well, Friday night I gutted more of my basement & planned the the renovations of the big room in the basement.
Saturday I bought the things required (and some not required) to complete the renovations of the laundry room, workshop, and basement bathroom. Since I still had a few hours before I had to get on the road...
