Nostalgia Jacket

I had a bit of time to kill at my parents house recently while waiting for my brother and remembered my mom had asked about this old jacket of mine they have hanging on a hanger in their hodgepodge room. I forget exactly what she had asked, she wasn't around at the time to check either. I tried it on and it, still fits, if I don't need to zip it up. I wore it mostly in High School. I also found this random assortment of junk in one of the pockets. I vaguely remember the guitar pick and lug…

Water Bottle

I keep telling myself, one day I will have a more "healthy lifestyle". I've made some attempts to move this direction for a while, but It never really feels like it's getting anywhere. I go without soda, I try to eat less carbs, I walk more, I try to get myself to actually do workouts. One thing is drinking more water. Something that helped quite a lot with this was getting a decent water bottle, which kind of happened rather serendipitously.

Now that I've run it once I can just do an update then download to get any updates and new games once a month…

For various search purposes, this is my experience trying to replace the Window Regulator and motor on a 2015 Chevy Sonic. Maybe, a month or two ago, my passenger side car window started having issues rolling up and down. It usually would be that the driver's side controls would not work, so. I would lean over and hit the passenger side controls. It gotten worse a couple of weeks ago. It rolled down for the drive to work, it would not roll up again using any buttons. I went about searching online for a solution, and found that the most…

Welcome to Blaugust 2025 – Introduction

Welcome to Blaugust, and the day one post here for the event. If you know me, then this whole post will just feel like a redundant sort of trip down memory lane. But that's what I do I guess. Wax nostalgia at things of the past. Maybe? I really don't know anymore. I just kind of, write what comes to mind. Nostalgia is such a vicious creature, another way to say that you fear the future.-- Work of Fiction by Lauren Mayberry I just love that quote from that song. Anyway, I don't have a plan, I rarely do anymore,…
