Southern Fried Freeride 2023

Southern Fried Freeride at Lake Allatoona. If you don't already know, it's a long weekend of non-stop STAND-UP JET SKI shenanigans. It draws people from all over the region, and it’s been going down since the early 2000s. Kind of like a proper summer send-off. The...

Fixed annoying leak in the Porsche 944 for $5

When it rained, water would leak in the passenger side of the Porsche 944. Who would've thought a $5 can of Flex Seal would actually fix it? NOPE, this is not a paid advertisement... just some good ol' redneck engineering lol. But hey, if it works it works....

UAW vs CEOs (strike strike strike)

Typically speaking, I like onions better than unions. I’ve always tended to empathize more with the people who RUN the company. Simply because - they tend to see the 'whole picture' of what is takes to bring a product to market. A union has a much narrower interest...
