Just got new bidness cards made up. Here, take some and pass ‘em around. Delight your friends, taunt your enemies. Share the love, yo!

Hillstomping Update
Got a break in the weather today so Ouzo and I are going hike two sections of the Sunapee-Ragged-Kearsarge Greenway: the section from Wadleigh State Park to Kearsarge Valley Road and then continuing on the Lincoln Trail, going up to the summit of Mt. Kearsarge and then down to Winslow State Park. [...]

Live Help Update
It’s a chilly day with a much-needed steady rain here in New Hampster. Since I’m a wuss and won’t be out stomping the hills in these unsavory conditions, I’ll have my warm dry tushy planted right here in front of the ‘pooter most of the day. You got questions, we got [...]

Live Help Update
Mrs. Samurai is having a bunch of her homeschooling Mom friends over tonight for a yak session. Since my computer is out in the family room where a bunch of women will be milling about and clucking, guess where I won’t be? Yeah, so while they’re here, I’ll be down in [...]

Live Help Update
I’m here this evening, chained to the computer, writing new content, answering forum posts, adding new bells and whistles and, of course, chatting with grasshoppers on live help. Ring me up, Scotty!

Live Help Update
Well, the MPU and her SU bid their sad farewells today, heading back home to Hotlanta. So I once again assume the meditative pose, preparing for the inevitable onslaught of penetrating and insightful questions on live help. Ahh, here’s a “Special Grasshopper” ringing me up for live help now. C’mon, [...]

The Fixit Boyz White Mountain Journey
Once upon a time, there were four guys who went on a backpacking trip in New Hampshire’s White Mountains. Their names were Fishnutz, Tomscat, Huh, and Moostafa.
They hiked up the Old Bridal Path to Mt. Lafayette. Being flatlanders, Fishnutz and Tomscat held a prayer session asking the [...]

Live Help Update
Been having annoying internet connection problems this week. Like I say in the gray sidebar on the right hand side of this page: my ISP, Aldephia, sucks. I mean REALLY sucks out loud. All week, cable modem access has been sporadic, working fine for a few minutes, then choking. [...]

Live Help Update
The Maternal Parental Unit (MPU) and her Spousal Unit (SU) are visiting us through next Saturday so live help will be sporatic during their visit. I’ll answer questions in the forum as much as I can. I appreciate all the help in the forum from the other gurus, especially Guido from [...]

Word of the Day
And the Word of the Day is “mawkish.”

Return of the Samurai
He’s back, he’s black, he’s madder than Hell…he’s Samurai with a mohawk!
Ok, I didn’t really get a mohawk. I’m not overtly angry, either, just the usual inward-directed anger that makes me mildly bipolar and prone to substance abuse. And I’m only a little black. But I really am [...]

Signing Off ’till Next Week…maybe
Well, this is it, compadre. My last entry for the week and possibly my last entry ever. The Fixit Boyz will all be mustering up here at Brown Compound in about an hour from now for the Third Annual Fixit Boyz Hillstomp. We’ll go through gear, make a [...]

Live Help Update
Yep, I’ll be on live help tonight for as much as I can stand it. When I can’t stand it any more, I’ll be unavailable for live help but still hanging around the forum pretending to answer questions. I’ll probably go back and forth like this for a while until I [...]
