Live Help Schedule for Saturday, 6/29/2002
I’m watching “Oh Brother Where Art Thou?” right now but when that’s done, I’ll be online for live help. Say around 9:30 pm eastern time. Ok, talk to you later.

Had my ass kicked on a 15-mile section hike on the Appalachian Trail (AT) today. This section began at Lyme-Dorchester Road summitting Smarts Mountain and Mt. Cube and ended at NH Rte 25A. Ouzo and I started on the trail at 1005 hours this morning and got off at the Mt. Cube trail […]

Finally uploaded some pics from the Mt. Garfield (06102002) and Osceola (06202002) Hillstomps. We bad!

Special Announcement: Dizzy-Dazey has been inducted into the Forum Fools Hall of Fame. Congratulations, Dizzy!

Two kick-ass hikes in two days! Monday, Ouzo and I bagged Mt. Hale (elev. 4054 ft.), one of New Hampshire’s 48, 4,000 footer peaks. We went up the Hale Brook Trail and returned on the Zealand Trail for a round trip of a little more than eight miles. Perfect weather, clear […]

Dizzy-Dazey is still at it, whining and complaining. If she’d stop running her mouth so much, she might actually fix something. I think the real help she needs is here. And to help her along on her journey to mental health, I wrote her this haiku:

Like pearls tossed to swine,
give free washer […]

Netscape version 4.7x has a problem with how it handles java. As a result, people coming to my website using one of these versions would cause my HumanClick console to load up and it would drive me crazy. I finally added a little snippet of java code to each of my webpages that […]

Kudos to Appliance Studbuckette You Hurt My Brain for writing a sensitive, New Age haiku and limerick to wrap up the Dizzy-Dazey thread.

Awesome hike up the Osceolas today! We bagged both East Osceola and Mt. Osceola. Here’s the route we took:

Except we started at the Greeley Pond trailhead and ended at the Mt. Osceola trailhead. Total mileage was something over 10.
Just four intrepid souls and their two faithful canine companions. The […]

WARNING: Cheesedork Alert!
Dazey is a classic cheesedork who apparently believes that it’s her Constitutional right to have her appliances repaired for free. Gas Man did a nice, albeit semi-literate, job of mocking her. But Brain’s post was really the coup de grace–way to go, Brain!
Dazey, you won’t find […]

Congratulations to Brewer, the latest inductee into the venerable brotherhood of Fermented Appliance Geeks.

TagBoard is having problems staying online. In the short time I’ve been using it on this page, it’s had several outages. Lately, at least once a day. I wouldn’t mind so much except that when it goes down, it prevents the rest of the page content from loading. Well, you get […]

One of my cats, Lovey, is driving me insane with her nightly rodent gifts. It wouldn’t be so bad if she would at least kill them before bringing them into the house. But she insists that I eat them while they’re still writhing and squeeking. So, every night around 1 am, she […]

A big welcome to Mad Mac, the latest appliance guru to help out in answering posts in the Samurai School of Appliantology!

Ahh, there’s nothing like hiking in a steady, driving, cold rain. We decided not to attempt Mt. Washington because of the forecast calling for snow, freezing rain, and sub-freezing temps. So, Mike, Dina, Ouzo, and I hiked 11 soggy miles on the Monadnock-Sunapee Greenway. Many times we were hiking through streams and […]
