While I'm one of those people who is perfectly fine with no distraction other than the noise in my head for long stretches of time, now and again it's nice listening to someone else's nonsense to keep from going fucking nuts. Music is dandy, got no problem with it, but it has never distracted from …
5 working days and 5 pack up and check shit out days and the Silicon Valley experience shall be coming to and end. The hot springs adventure last weekend was the tops. I was the only overnight guest so had the whole place to myself after 8PM. Spent 20 of my 24 hours there either …
Howdy! I've come to find my previous tactic of waiting long periods of time to blast out rambling missives doesn't serve my writing urge very well, so I'll be posting more frequent, shorter posts about random dumb shit. This will either elicit a squeal of glee or a groan frustration, but that's on you. The …
This is gonna be the first of a few blatherings digesting my year and a half here in the South Bay. It's been a challenging and eventful experience and, hopefully, the last that drags me far from friends and deep into isolation. Been way too many of those this past couple decades and it's getting fucking …
Soon, very soon. March 10th is my release date. After a year and a half in Techville it'll be time to huck most all the shit back into Mighty Whitey and make a final trek north to Bend. For all the shit talking I could do, and have done, concerning this place and my time …

Our respective rides, I have the '05 KLR 650 farkled to the goddamn …
This is now home. To be more specific, this is where I now live through the duration of my contract. Or at least till next Monday when I take a pass/fail cert for the company I'm working for here. On that topic I signed a lot of paperwork declaring I would NOT talk about my …
Fire season 2015 is officially in the can. The least number of fires of any season in 20 years, however, not a total loss. Being here allowed me to get in internship time and finish my degree, get a knee rebuilt, still make decent $ even without fires/OT and I met Amanda. Think I made …
This is it! The final day of the most pathetic fire season in a 20 year career. Yes, I know the whole goddamn West burned to the ground, but for some reason I was not invited. I got to sit here in Bubbaville and keep an Org chart in good working order. Sweet. Recent events, …
