I Guess Nobody Wanted It

Thursday, February 24, 2005

Auction ended today for the Japanese license plate and mount. Even though 3 people put it on their watch list, there were zero bids. Even though I know this is a studio shot with a photoshopped in background, it’s still a cool image of the new Miata.

1,988 Hours To Go

Wednesday, February 23, 2005

The light near the front stairs burnt out Monday night, so yesterday evening I replaced it with another one of those 2,000 hour bulbs my mother-in-law bought. I’ll be keeping track of how long this one lasts too. The one I put in earlier this month is still going and has 1,400 hours left before it burns out.

Another Marvelous Day

Wednesday, February 23, 2005

Middle70’s and sunny. The car is still dirty because it is going to rain again tomorrow. I probably will wash it Saturday because we have a Miata Club event on Saturday night. It will be dark by the time we get together so no one would notice that the car is dirty and it is going to rain again the next day, but it will be time, last washing was over a month ago…

Started down, went up, back down, back up, down again, still down.

I Was Wrong

Tuesday, February 22, 2005

Yesterday I would have sworn those pictures were not the real thing, but I guess I was wrong. Today Autoweek put a small article and a photo gallery online and sure enough those are the real thing, the next gen Miata. I kind of like it, the interior less than the exterior, but it really doesn’t matter as I am not due for another new Miata until 2010.

Today was an unseasonably warm day, it was about 15 degrees above normal, so my old raggedy 2003 Miata got to be driven around topless. Almost made the trip to the dentist for a couple of fillings enjoyable. And after work, we of course, took the long cut home. Tonight we will probably take the long way to the store to get OJ for tomorrow’s breakfast. Tomorrow will be more in the normal range, but Thursday it is supposed to be 10 degrees below normal. Make up your mind Mother Nature.

Started up, went down, still down.

I’m Going To Be Rich

Monday, February 21, 2005

Spam Count: 64 for Friday, 62 on Saturday and 74 on Sunday.

Among the smut and meds, this week’s newest trend, uncounted riches are promised. I didn’t open them to see if they were a variation on the Nigerian scheme, but I’m betting they’re not, they are probably the usual crap with a “catchy” title.

sturgeon’s law

"Ninety Percent Of Everything Is Crap"
Derived from a quote by science fiction author Theodore Sturgeon, who once said, "Sure, 90% of science fiction is crud. That's because 90% of everything is crud." Oddly, when Sturgeon's Law is cited, the final word is almost invariably changed to 'crap'.
