Tour de Grandview
Today we had a bike race in front of our house. It's called the Tour de Grandview. So I decided to take a quick video and put it on YouTube. Enjoy.
Truck Wo's
Well, I decided to drive the 1998 Chevy Truck on Friday to work. Guess what? The fuel pump stopped working, we had to call AAA, but by the time the driver got there to tow me back, it started and I was able to make it home. But now the truck is sitting in the [...]
No Small Block Chevy Engine…
I was really hoping to replace the 4.3L engine in my beater truck with a Small Block Chevy 350. I even went out and purchased an engine hoist, some books on the subject, and a few Jegs catalogs. But after hearing today about possible state-wide emmisions checks I looked into the Ohio law a bit [...]
One and Done
I knew Greg would leave the Buckeyes this year, but I did not think Conely or Cook would leave. I thought Conely was the team MVP in the tourney with Greg in foul trouble and all but going to the NBA? That sucks, I will never watch them play another game (unless Cleveland makes it [...]
To Thine Own Self Be True…
I have met some nice people at TechColumbus, but I am left wondering about how they really want to help the tech community.

More Grandview Dealings…
As soon as we started our fence process a few months back we got a notice that our garage paint was peeling and we had to repair it. I find it odd that we get this now, when it was like this the entire year previous and when we purchased the house.
Additionally, we have a [...]
Truck & Lighting
This week-end I did nothing with a computer other than surf for truck parts. Re: the 1998 Chevy truck, I was able to fix the mirrors, replace the tail-lights and then when all was said and done the check-engine light came on.
So I went out and purchased a OBD II diagnostic computer. The readings said [...]

New (used) Truck
Well, I got a new (used) truck. Well it's a beater 1998 Chevy Silverado. I picked it up for $2,650 at Hatfield Used Cars for the business. I am hoping to use it to transport the robot, and maybe modify for some automated/robotic driving (experimental). It's red (like Ohio State) and it has no rust, [...]
