Trying to Vary the Drive
I’ve been trying a few ways home from work (the general idea courtesy of Blue Racecar). Â Second number is up until my freeway exit — not sure why I’m keeping track of that, but I thought I’d eliminate any variance in the part of the drive that I can’t really change.
Variation 1 (10->94->96):
9/14: 28.29.9 (23.41.2) – Â time slightly off because I stopped to get gas, but I played with the timer to approximate cutting that out…
Variation 1a (96->Wyoming->10->Davison->75)
9/15: 31:43.4 (25.59.3) –
No commentsNo Knead Foccacia
I made weber_cam‘s No Knead Foccacia (video below) Sunday night for a big dinner we had with some friends. Â Highly recommended, it was very tasty and extremely easy. Â My only regret was I didn’t shoot a picture to put here. Â I’ll give this another try this weekend…

Our neighbors gave us their piano. After getting a bunch of friends together to move it, I’m ready to begin tormenting the kids with piano lessons.
No commentsNew Inspiration
Last weekend I made pulled pork, my first time doing real Barbeque, not regular grilling, but low and slow hours long Barbeque.  Joe, from work, had sent me a few links on some techniques.  But not too long after looking for some more information I found the  Virtual Weber Bullet site, then I found weber_cam. After reading a few posts from these places I found new inspiration for documenting what I’ve been doing and the things that interest me — perhaps for the only purpose of writing it down to learn from it later: sort of a personal logbook.
Here’s what I’m interesting in looking into next:
* Homebrew: not sure if I’ll really do this. Â I probably need to drink more to make this worthwhile.
* Getting back into RC planes: I never really flew one very successfully and this would be great to have a new start in. Â I’ve already spent a fair bit in the up-front costs. Â I’ll probably need to get new batteries.
* More Barbeque
* Perfecting baguettes. Â weber_cam has some good techniques and videos that I’m going to try.
So with that, I begin. Â We’ll find out how long the inspiration lasts this time.
