    Divorcing my jeans.... Levi's sucks. Moving on

    I’m all for you putting your money where you want. I hope I didn’t give the impression otherwise. I’m just saying in my opinion they make some really cool denim jackets. And I don’t think they ever went out of style or are coming back. Denim is pretty timeless.

    Insurance Home/Auto/Etc. Who do you like?

    Bear river here. They are the least expensive I could find. They will use aftermarket and used parts is available but I can’t expect much else with how much less they are than competitors.

    Digital Minimalism

    I talk to my kids way more than my dad ever was able to talk to me. Fortunately it hasn’t replaced being a parent and my healthy and non overweight children are able to use the technology for things like editing the video they made of us riding bmx bikes at the dirt jumps Saturday into a memory...

    Digital Minimalism

    I use my phone constantly. Directions, work, instant access to information, shopping and Rme. But most important staying connected with my family. It’s really amazing how this little thing allows me to stay connected to my kids. Before I had kids I was busting chops on a friend of mine that I...

    Van conversation

    For the record I didn’t get the power trip vibe from this guy. I posted a rant about window tint ticket that guy was a power trip A hole. I mean I hate the idea of getting profiled but I understand it. I really wish I wasn’t so upset at the time because I would have liked to ask why he thought...

    Yeah I’m over it. I don’t know if having tattoos has anything to do with it or not. It’s always on my mind how it can effect the way people see me. Last week I was in Florida for a work convention and it’s the one time during the year I actually see my co workers as we are spread out across...

    Van conversation

    Okay so after talking to a friend about this he shed a new opinion on what the cops mind set may have been. So he was following me for more than a minute on the freeway. I went to exit because it was my exit to my dads house where we were headed. The cop probably thought I was exiting to get...

    Van conversation

    Honestly I bet looking at the vehicle and myself he was looking for an insurance violation or something along those lines when he first pulled me over. What was the swing with the kids I’m not sure. But he did have me exit the vehicle really quickly. First question when I was out was who’s kids...

    So this thing has basically turned into a dd. Any time my boys are with me we take the van. They love it. I need to do a bike rack as having 3 bmx bikes inside is getting old but we also enjoy having bikes everywhere we go. I have to admit I really dig driving it and love that we do random bike...

    We we put in some good hours this weekend and everything but one cushion is finished up. Of course we had to test out the tv by ordering van pizza and watching the incredibles in the drive way last night. These batteries are just silly good. I have 3 of them in. I had the fridge running all day...

    Coilover maintenance

    If you want shocks to work they need to be tuned. Unfortunately no magic level of nitrogen is going to make up for non properly valved shocks. Also are you running the correct coils? How much preload do you have to maintain ride height? Dual rate setup?

    My Next Project: 1965 Sunbeam Alpine

    One thing I’ve realized is people hate it when they find out you record phone conversations. They often think it is illegal. In Utah it is not illegal for one party to record a call without the other parties knowledge or approval. He’s going to be pissed but he’s going to have a very hard time...

    Buying a car online

    I would think a bus stays in service as long as it’s economically feasible to keep in service. I think that bus is probably at the end of its life not just drivetrain wise but everything else as well.
