  • The Norton Project

    The Norton Project

    This is a story about how my brother and I stole our fathers 1969 Norton Commando, had it restored and then gave it back to him for Christmas. He had no idea.

    It’s BRILLIANT. It made me think of my own Dad, and how I’d love to do something like this for him someday. I dare you to watch it and not get a little teary.

  • Tea Towel Notebooks

    Ooooh! Just found a tutorial for sewing notebook covers out of tea towels. My Mom actually gave me about a dozen old linen tea towels when we visited. Most of them have some sort of outdoor scene and a calendar (for a year long past). That might be a nice use for them!

    @lemon_lime Drive! We’re in a car share; you guys should check it out: goget.com.au. Much cheaper than buying a car! I am total EVANGELIST.


  • Pooped

    If change is as good as a holiday, then the Snook and I went on a round-the-world cruise on this 3-day weekend. We worked our butts off on the house, and we’ve got a lot to show you. Photos once it gets light again… 🙂

    Snook and I made it to IKEA and back in just over 2 hours, setting world IKEA speed record. Tomorrow we will finally have curtains!


    @witty_knitter As opposed to NOTHING! 3 years of frightening the neighbors. 🙂


    @mrs_sockvictim Yeah, we figure we averaged nearly $10 a minute in there…


    DIY Psychopath: http://twitpic.com/2u9q18 But yay, I finally got the clock I’ve been wanting for YEARS. http://twitpic.com/2u9q5x


    Also, finally got my fantastic painting by @crumpet up on the wall: http://twitpic.com/2u9stn. Just need some lighting now for it!


    @crumpet Hahahaha… We both thought it was a painting! That’s what you get when you give Art to Philistines. 🙂

    Right now, 9,363 miles away in Lagrange, Indiana, my 15 year high school reunion is happening. I dug out my dusty senior picture to celebrate. Have fun, guys!


    Just completed a 2.98 km walk with RunKeeper – National Walk to Work Day!


    Just completed a 7.01 km run with RunKeeper – Great run w/ Snook. Too easy!


  • Public Enemy #1

    Wow. Remember our trip to Dubbo five years ago that nearly derailed because there was a murderer on the loose? He’s still on the lam! He’s hiding out in a national park and despite all efforts, they just can’t find him. Such a creepy story!
