Meguiars Gold Class Vinyl/Rubber Protectant

noreply@blogger.com (Dan) — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 05:21:00 +0000

I get a lot of questions on what I use to bring the pop back in those side moldings on my semi older vehicles. So I am posting the official review. This will soften the rubber and prolong its life, whether in the doors, or window seals. It takes all plastics and vinyl sidings back to like new quality for a few months before re application.

Here is a picture.

Backyard From Brynnieg.

noreply@blogger.com (Dan) — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 18:17:00 +0000

Dan and I have been working on improving our backyard for a while now and we are slowly making some good changes.

We looked through some of Dan's architectural magazines and created an "inspirations collage"....pics of things we want to include in our backyard renovations.

On Sunday, we went out in search of patio furniture and found a STEAL at target....originally priced at $200 a piece, we got our new patio furniture at $47 each!

Here's some of the improvements so far and a picture of our collage to see how far we've come to achieving our ideas.

We're slowly getting there.

Earthquake tonight couple miles from Livermore

noreply@blogger.com (Dan) — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 03:36:00 +0000

Nice little 10 second rumble tonight. It was 2 miles from Sunol towards Livermore, which is only a couple miles from here. It was pretty fun.

3.7 on the Richter, 5 miles deep. It registers as the red dot on the picture attached.

Read this garbage.

Customer 10/12/2009 09:33 PM
I downloaded a movie Sin Nombre in HD, and we clicked play last night. The download speed was too slow and we were only able to watch 10 minutes last night before it caught up with the download. Tonight as soon as we returned home we turned on the movie, but couldn't finish it before the 24 hour expiration. Could you please refund so we can re download and watch again please
Thanks

HERE'S MY REPLY.

Wow really lame.

Last time we use your service. I'll use my XBOX instead, and as a tech representative will spread the word religiously about an extremely poor customer service.

If Sony gets my complaints, I will be sure to mention your name and save this email.

I could be a high revenue customer using your movie service, but it looks like that 5.99 is all you'll ever receive from me. All i want is to finish the last of my 10 minutes in the movie, and seeing how your poor upload speed was the reason for the problem in the first place, I feel extremely warranted.

PS> Apple TV does refunds, good luck on your downward spiral.

Mog Fever

noreply@blogger.com (Dan) — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 22:07:00 +0000

I have it. The Unimog fever. I now know what I need. And it is a Unimog.

This 416 Doka is for sale by me for 10 k. Although I might hold out for one with the 20 speed tranny. This six speed might be a little lame. Wish me luck. PS. Andy, I have no clue why you don't have one.

Summer -4 Camping at Butano SP

noreply@blogger.com (Dan) — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 06:30:00 +0000

Got one! A camping day. Thanks Brynn. So there were no campsites available in CALIFORNIA for the 3 weeks prior to this trip, then 2 days before one popped up. As we were speaking to the guy there on the phone he said, sorry all full, while refreshing the website said... NOPE 1 more!

We spent some time in Pescadero which is tiny, population under 2000. We went to a dog friendly beach.... hmmmm, Oh Bean Hollow. I thought it was great. It was warm, although I was the only one who thought so. We tried our new surf rods, to no avail.

Camping was pretty awesome, we ate super well thanks to Brynn. It was like 4 star camp food.
Also we learned that the explosion from beer cans in the fire is epic, except for the 15 minutes of putting out burning embers in the forest.

It wasn't a heavy picture weekend, and like usual Brynn and I don't have any together, but here are a couple.

Brynn and I had a bad ass tim in tahoe. Chillin with the locals. The McCrew in North Lake. Good times. Got to do a tour of the lake, and a little beach time at Zephyr Cove... Countdown, negative two weeks of good times during the summer. I'd definitely chalk this one up as a win. Don't forget the M's first time around the lake. BTW Tre Stone was a sleepy bad ass.

Summer of Activity in Reverse Order. P 1 -1

Gary Allen Concerto at Konocti, Clear Lake. First, let me say that this could be (although undoubtedly) the last time he plays here. Rumors of the place closing, but for 15 mil... shoot I'd buy it!

Steve, the Dave's and I hit this one up. Good times, super close. Caught a catfish, played 5 hours of tequilla music with big Dave. Damn good Clear Lake weekend...

I'm going to post all the weekends for tracking purposes up in reverse order.

Fifth Gear makes me want to vomit

noreply@blogger.com (Dan) — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 05:58:00 +0000

Seriously. Lets talk about this.

Are they joking. Do people drink that much in the UK to tolerate this garbage.
How many times do i have to see Tiff (who at one time was cool) and Jason,(cool normally) do some dumb race. Buses... WTHell. It started out bad, got worse throughout the season, next episode if they keep up they'll be racing their own deficant and pretending its cool.

Speaking of deficant, the boobs that host. Tim should just end it. It would be more entertaining if he was a cutter. Tom Ford is a lame fatso, I think fatso as a term would make a comeback if it was just related to having to sit through a season 16 episode. Now sometimes he shows potential when he ditches hosting duties, but honestly is 2009 the year of lame.

Johnny. What happened. When you weren't constrained to your little 3 retarded tests, like this season, you were becoming a favorite and a reason to watch, but lately... Dude. I loved the old quirky, bio diesel Johnny. It is clear Tim and Tom are writing his scripts.

VBH. Crap. Where did you go . Have you abandoned a sinking ship, or can you be the captain titanic never had. England needs you, TV needs you, People in the US need you..... STOP, CARS... and maybe even Frodo and Ben Wise Ganjee deserve your intervention. Give her full production duties, let her fire the tards... and save Fifth Gear.

In short, Fifth Gear WAS a slightly less cool version of top Gear... lately, just a reason to delay starting your Top Gear episode... cause sometime when top Gear starts, you wish it would never end, and fifth gear just holds back the pain of hitting start, cause start means you will soon have a stop.... Fifth Gear is akin to a zit... a nasty sore to be popped, so that the normal bronzed muscular skin that shall be known as Top Gear can show itself again next week. Hope this makes its way to Five / BBC, cause we really want another quality show to hold us over between Top Gear episodes.
