While we prefered the music of LeCompt, those of us amongst the beer drinking crowd were probably better off that this year's band, however loud & stereotypical, left us... feeling better on Sunday, shall we ... http://www.lazyassgeek.com/2008/12/22/austrian-village-2008/ Geek Christmas has come twice so far this year!  Another round of liquidation from my buddy Mike's closing office.  This time it's Optiplex desktops and Latitude laptops.  Yes, I know, you'd like a laptop... get in line!

Dante was their Miracle Dog. He fell horribly ill seven years ago so every day that they have had with him was nothing but a wonderful bonus. Ray and Shana were smart enough not to waste any of ... http://www.lazyassgeek.com/2008/11/17/goodbye-dante-boy/ So my buddy Mike works for a finance company that got taken out in the first wave of the sub-prime collapse.  He's gotten some very nice retention bonuses to stick around during the dismantling, and today I got one.  He had 12 servers that were removed from regional offices that ... http://www.lazyassgeek.com/2008/11/07/geek-christmas/ After the install of headers on my car it was inevitable I would need a tune. The car has only thrown a code for the rear O2's one time since I installed the headers but that apparently is hit & miss with the LG headers because of their long primaries ... http://www.lazyassgeek.com/2008/10/25/ecs/ Our 3rd and last day started the way the others had, too early!  But the 5:30 alarm gave us time to have some coffee, my continental-influenced (damn Germans!) breakfast of ham & Swiss on toasted sourdough, and check our e-mail during that limited window of opportunity when the office was ... http://www.lazyassgeek.com/2008/10/17/spring-mountain-day-3/ Day 2 dawned dark & early, though we more or less were keeping ourselves on Eastern time.

THIS time I remembered my camera, and even the extra batteries. ... http://www.lazyassgeek.com/2008/10/12/spring-mountain-day-2/ After a drive across the desert on Highway 160 (last gas for 40 miles!) that had gorgeous scenery we arrived at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch.  Wouldn't it have been cool if that picture had been taken just as we arrived? Well since I forgot my camera back at the time ... http://www.lazyassgeek.com/2008/10/10/spring-mountain-day-1/ This is an overdue public thanks to my good friend Andy who decided to take my disaster of a garage on his shoulders. He & Biggi have been staying at my house a lot over the summer while he's been trying to do 2 jobs at once in 2 different ... http://www.lazyassgeek.com/2008/09/12/ive-been-overhauled/ Here comes the B700 Vauxhall Astra. Just have to decide on a final color.. the silver pictured here is OK, but I'm thinking the "Steel Gray" sort of color Jimbo offered as a possibility looks a bit better.
