    The Price of Driving Our Cars

    Interesting analysis I saw on one of the business shows. The near future is fully electric cars. By 2025 it's projected that almost half of new cars built will be electric. If a major portion of your economy is based on oil/gas and within a decade the demand for your resource is potentially...

    I love all that audio gear and had a lot, much of it professional studio quality. But neither of my daughters would have wanted any of it because of size and some complexity. Last year, I got rid of almost everything as I'm downsizing everything I own. Now, I just enjoy playing around with what...

    Another Booster? Probably Not.

    From Today's Minneapolis Star-Tribune As people across the world grapple with the prospect of living with the coronavirus for the foreseeable future, one question looms large: How soon before they need yet another shot? Not for many months, and perhaps not for years, according to a flurry of...

    Urban Crime in Minneapolis-St. Paul

    Mostly by teens who, if apprehended, are released almost immediately. A close friend, who retired as a municipal judge last week, related that Minnesota closed virtually all its facilities to house "juvenile offenders" and because there's no place to put them, they are released to their parents...

    Vaulted Ceilings

    When I built my house in 1983, I really liked the vaulted ceiling with the 22 foot peak in my living room. I have a hanging light fixture in the middle of the ceiling that is more decorative that lumen producing. It's there just to provide some light at night when no one is home. It hasn't...

    Coffee: Pour Over vs. Drip

    I've gone back and forth from one process to another. I keep going back to French Press. I enjoy the finished product the most. Clean-up is messy but I've got a system so it's not to bad.

    Suspenders

    Last year, I had to have simple outpatient surgery on a spot right on my waist. I couldn't wear a belt for weeks or pants with a tight waist. I bought a pair of very stretchy Dickies workman's suspenders. After I healed, I hung the suspenders in a closet. About two weeks ago, I realized that I'd...

    The Price of Driving Our Cars

    Stopped in at Erik's Bikes, just to look at electric bikes. Sales guy says business is crazy busy for this time of year. He says people are looking for e-bikes that'll do 28 mph; max in St. Paul-Minneapolis and light enough so they can bring them into their offices. Last week a major e-bike...

    Bose

    The joke was on me. Inside the cabinet, there was nothing. The speakers and the wiring module had been gutted. I decided to go ahead with the project with some changes. I've already mounted two 5" full range Pioneer car speakers inside the cabinet directly adjacent to the large port. I used a...

    I Hope The Weather Forecast Is 100% Wrong

    Monday night into Tuesday morning, 7 to 10 inches of snow. I have a couple of appointments tomorrow and my street is rarely plowed until the second day of a snow emergency declaration. If it's not too cold and windy overnight, I'll be blowing snow every 4".

    Kudos To All Who Can Watch A Movie Without Falling Asleep At Least Once

    I also talk a bit; loud enough to wake myself up or to answer a question.

    Kudos To All Who Can Watch A Movie Without Falling Asleep At Least Once

    I cannot watch a movie, unless it's a documentary that really interests me, without falling asleep. Drama, mystery, sci fi, comedy, no matter ZZZZZZZZZZZ after about 30 minutes. If I didn't wake up for the necessity of watering the geese, I'd sleep through the entire film. There's a local...

    The Price of Driving Our Cars

    Gas station shock! Regular unleaded, $3.59 gallon. Filled my tank, which still wasn't on empty= $57.45. Is a motor scooter in my future?
