So, I’ve spent the last couple of weekends looking at boats. I found a few stinkers, but also some very nice looking and in decent shape trawler yachts. However, what I haven’t found as of yet is a decent sailboat. I was very close to putting an offer down on a nice 36′ Hershine trawler, [...]
Yeap, it’s raining again. I came out of work today and luckily I had actually brought a jacket this time as it was dumping pretty good. Now, the fun thing about the rain up here is that it doesn’t always fall straight down. The wind was coming up the channel at a pretty good clip, [...]
Well, it was a rainy Labor Day, so I spent it upgrading Wordpress and finding some bugs in WPG2. Changed themes for good measure. Snow is already falling on the peaks near the glacier and winter is knocking on the door. Welcome to September

This morning however I woke up to find pretty much my whole apartment having issues. The heater wouldn’t stay on, the power kept cycling [...]
Thanks to my dad for pointing this out. I made it into the Juneau Empire. The music was actually rather entertaining with a nice mournful, yet very rock beat to it. Queen’s “We Will Rock You” sounded very interesting on the bag pipes All in all, a decent band to check out if they’re [...]
The image gallery is now online. Check it out! I will be adding some posting for many of the images and better captions, etc…, but for now feel free to browse.
I think I finally finished digesting all the food from Thursday and all the booze has been flushed out of my system. First time for a deep fried turkey and I must say it was pretty good. Jeff also did a good job and didn’t shoot it across the driveway, so that’s a plus.
My green [...]
It’s new! It’s improved! It doesn’t have the nasty green grass headline picture anymore! The blog is back.
