Platelet Donation Number 1

I went down to Carter Blood Care today to do my first platelet donation. It turns out that I've got enough for a double donation, but I just couldn't do it. I got most of the way done, over 3/4 complete, and started feeling pretty funky so we stopped.… more »

The Battle Of Devastation Reef

Man, I hate it when books end like this one. Total cliff-hanger. But that's ok, I'm slowly marching through my to-be-read pile and will be buying the next one when I'm back to zero. It's a good, fast read, with some interesting plot twists. I swear I… more »

The Zumo Is Mounted

I got the Zumo mounted on the bike today. It was pretty painless, other than having to remove both fairings. The supplied power cable was long enough to have some slack left over and the supplied RAM mounting hardware worked with everything I've alread… more »

The Zumo Got Delivered

The UPS guy dropped off my new GPS for the BMW, a Garmin Zumo 660. It's pretty impressive considering I came from a GPSMap 60C. The screen's huge, it's fast, and has detailed maps that actually route! I've got to get some time to get it wired up, bu… more »
