I had a good time this Halloween and it is really becoming a favorite holiday. Our pumpkin carvings and costumes turned out great and it was great seeing everyone at the costume parties.

1940s Goodyear Bike Project
March 24, 2009 – 9:59 pm
I am working on three bike builds this spring. One of them is a 1940s Goodyear brand bike I bought last fall from my buddy Dave. It is a straight bar cruiser frame and I want to build it in sort of a late 70s mountain bike/BMX style. In my head it looks really cool. [...]
I Laced a Bike Wheel Today
March 23, 2009 – 7:49 pm
I have been wanting to learn how to build up bike wheels for a while. Today I finally got all the parts together to give it a shot. While I was waiting for parts I read about how to do it so today went pretty smooth. It took most of the afternoon trialling and erroring [...]
Fender Bass Build Completed
December 16, 2008 – 7:10 pm
This is my new bass. I put it together from parts I bought on ebay. I also refinished the body. I really like it so far. It is a Precision bass body with a P/J pickup set, wilkinson bridge standard jazz bass wiring and controls. The neck is a standard Jazz bass neck with Schaller [...]
Centipede MAME Project Completed

Click Here to See the Restoration Process!
I have basically finished my resto-mod of an original 1981 Atari Centipede game. It was a wreck when I bought it and it was basically gutted. It now plays hundreds of arcade and console games using MAME and other emulators. I am in the “beta-testing” phase of the project [...]

I bought this the other day for $40. I have been working on a MAME arcade emulator project and have decided to house it in here. I created a work log for this project in which I will post info about my progress.

Jen and I carved some pumpkins. I think they turned out pretty good this year.
Cornelius helps to complete the Halloween mood in the upper right.

Roadtrip Journal Day 1 Belated
September 18, 2005 – 10:54 pm
Here are some photos to show our progress so far. The first day started out a little rough so I am writing this on the second day.
Here we are all packed up and ready to go. I thought we had it planned out pretty well but we had trouble before we were outside of Michigan. [...]
Van Cab Pics
September 5, 2005 – 5:13 pm
I got around to working on the front part of the interior today. Here are some pics of how it looks now.
This shows the other side of the bulkhead/divider wall. Note the moderately burly deadbolt.
The dash had a lot of holes from police radios and was pretty beat up so I covered it with this [...]
Van Interior Pics
September 4, 2005 – 3:28 pm
I am finally getting around to taking some photos of the van. I should have taken before shots and documented some of the projects but I didn’t. I bought this van at an auction from the State of Michigan last year. It was used to transport prisoners. It looked basically like a REALLY dirty church [...]
