This is what happens when you try to consolidate wood shop and auto
shop into a single one-semester course. Won't someone think of the
children?

How to spend $6.27 on a free Whataburger, originally uploaded by tkaspar.

Start with a coupon for one free Whataburger with purchase of large
fries and drink.

Add bacon, cheese, and jalapeños.

Pay tax.

Get $0.73 back from $7.00 cash.

For the sake of reference, a standard combo with the same
additions/Whatasizing would have cost me $7.11. Whatabargain!

Finally tried a KFC "famous bowl" today. It had a hair in it. That
didn't deter me, as that was probably the item with the most
nutritional value.

The Wheels of Love are on the road by now.  The early start feels brutal at the time, but is well worth it to get ahead of the crowds.  As long as you don't have three flats in the first ten miles, that is.

Colby had a great post about what the weekend (and cycling) are all about. I'll revisit this post later today and share more of what it means to me. 

Since I won't be on the bike and all.

Fortunately my photographic memory can inform you that the sticker flanking the mock exhaust pipe in the bed of this truck reads:

Not Fast...But Feariuos

It's true.  He was feariuosly tailgating people all the way into Austin from Hamilton Pool Road.

Is always a little disconcerting when you're on the fifth floor.

Quite possibly to a vet.



More pictures after the break.

Yeah, this could be doubly pointless.

I'm veering wildly from the original tone of the site, which was based on a Morphine song (as was the domain name).  Seeing as Daddy Needs a Drink is already registered, I'm resigned to settling for stealing the title from the Drive-By Truckers song and keeping my old address.

I have a lot of old posts that I want to generate, so keep an eye out for back-dated items.  Or check back in June of '09 and see if I've written anything at all.
