Somehow, almost two months worth of posts were deleted from the repair forum at the Appliantology Group. This is an extremely active forum with dozens of posts per day. You’ll notice that the most recent post (after the current ones) are dated 11-30-2004. I have no idea how all those posts got deleted […]

As you Appliantology groupies may have noticed, there’s been an increase in spam postings in the repair forum recently. Because of this, I’ve had to change the group membership setting from open, meaning anyone can join without needing my approval, to restricted, meaning I have to approve all new members before they can post […]

I have recently completed yet another covert assignment for The Company; this one involved testing a prototype of an implantable microchip. My assignment was to […]

As many of you know, the Samurai had back surgery last week for a ruptured disk at L4-L5. The surgery went well but I’m out of action for the next three months while my back heals up. Last week, just four days after my surgery, our neighbor’s refrigerator crapped out on them… again. […]

Louie is overweight, blind, deaf, severely arthritic, and prone to seizures, but he never seems to let that get him down. He’s a sweet dog who belongs to our next door neighbor, Bill, who hasn’t been able to bring himself to put Louie to sleep, although he knows it is time. On Christmas […]

If you’re looking for a good reference to help you understand
simple home wiring, the Samurai recommends The Basics of Household Wiring DVD. If you think you already know it all, then you don’t know what you don’t know. Think about that, “You don’t know what you don’t know.” You know, the mark […]
