Posted on November 23, 2010 by Joel

I have no words to describe the statistical likelihood that we have changed six tires on the Toyota Highlander this year, and now staring in the face of yet another flat tire. Count ’em: Mid June, 1st flat tire that … Continue reading →

I upgraded to the Apple iPhone 4

Posted on November 16, 2010 by Joel

Ah yes, go ahead and say it. Don’t let me stop you. Get it out of your system. Joel drank the Kook-Aid and bought Apple. No, I didn’t. Well, yes, I did stick with Ma Bell (AT&T), and upgraded to … Continue reading →

A relaxing weekend in October is nothing to be ashamed of

Posted on October 17, 2010 by Joel

After so many months of packed-to-the-gills weekend schedules, we’re starting to experience actual breaks. This weekend, not much to fill up the schedule, so we used it for decompression time. We started off the weekend Friday night with pizza and … Continue reading →

I’ve decided on the iPhone 4

Posted on October 3, 2010 by Joel

Yup, the iPhone. It’s finely happened. I’ve been a fairly happy with my BlackBerry Bold 9000 from 2007. It’s a nice large screen, comfortable keyboard, and overall good size for browsing AND slipping into one’s pants’ pocket. I have a … Continue reading →

Flat tire #3 for the year

Posted on September 30, 2010 by Joel

Un-freakin’-believable. What is the likelihood that we could get three flat tires on the same car within three months? How about two flat tires in the same month? Isn’t this getting statistically improbable? And yet, here we are. Tire #1 … Continue reading →

Can you believe we had another flat tire?

Posted on September 14, 2010 by Joel

I’m nearly apoplectic here. This summer, we purchased four new Bridgestone tires for the Highlander @ $200 each to replace the original Toyo Open Country tires that came with it. I’m still incensed that the original tires didn’t last the … Continue reading →
