So the Blue Volvo has been acting up. The transmission light has been blinking and the engine has been stuttering. I checked the codes (thanks to Brochu Citgo!) and it says it’s the throttle position sensor. I cleared those codes and the car was fine, so off we went to Mount Washington. I brought a […]
Stephanie took the key to George this morning. She came to the office a little while ago and reported that George’s people had taken off the timing belt cover and discovered that it’s not the oil seal at all as I had assumed. I had thought it was an oil seal around the valve cams, […]
I was going to take Audrey to her radio show. We jumped in the Blue Volvo and headed out. Out on the flats I noticed the Oil light was on. Hmm. That’s odd I just put oil in it recently… The Irving (D&L, now known as B&K) is closed because the B&K ran it into […]
I just had an interesting dream. I was a corporate spy. It was very movie like. It started with my finishing up one job and being extricated by my support team. Them moved on to training for the next job. This was a huge company with a eccentric young CEO. I was to target a […]
Two weeks ago Stephanie and I decided to do something to help raise some money for our dear friends Alan and Mary Gagnon. We wanted to use our talents in the best way possible and so Stephanie suggested a telethon, and I said that we should do it over two nights. We set it up […]
I am sitting backstage at the Flynn during the first night of Green Day’s Broadway tour of ‘American Idiot’. They have 30 TVs hanging on the set wall and four projectors on the set wall, too. The TVs are all the same brand so that one remote works all of them. Once the set is […]
So I got a last-minute request to go to Dartmouth for a projection call. I arrived to find I was showing a slide for a live-streamed debate between Dinesh D’Souza and Bill Ayers. “The Ultimate Fight Between Left and Right!!!” (Interestingly, all the google search results for this return almost a full page of links […]
I worked on the Yellow Card tour of the broadway musical ‘Memphis‘. Load in started at 8AM, by 1PM most of it was set and the load in crew was released. Backline loaded in after lunch and the show was ready by 4 PM. A 6:30 PM call back for the show crew. Load out […]
I was at a girl’s basketball game, recording it for the TV station. It feeds live onto the cable system and the internet. There was a parent from the visiting team to my right, at the far end of the reporter’s table sitting on the top row of bleachers. During the Junior Varsity game he […]
Dartmouth bought hotel rooms for it’s crew last night. I shared a double with Duk. This was my car this morning: Madalaine showed up when breakfast was about to end. I told her that, but she said that the hot tub was more important. Last I saw her she was soaking in the jacuzzi… […]
Ugh! Headed home from Dartmouth, late at night, in the snow. I have been taking the Peacham shortcut, from Barnet to West Danville/Joe’s Pond. This bypasses the St. J/Danville elbow, and it’s a very pretty drive. So they finally plowed the road, and I was almost up to Joe’s Pond, about a half mile from […]
We weren’t sure about going to Dad’s house today. The big snow storm came through yesterday and it was raining and then snowing, ugh. We still don’t have snow tires on the front of the Volvo… But the radar showed that the storm was mostly to our south, so it was light snow all night, […]
I wouldn’t have thought it possible, but the Red Volvo lives. Stephanie has been wanting it gone, since it’s parked alongside the house gathering rust. I didn’t want to cart it off to Gates without looking into it one more time. It just didn’t seem right that George’s guys got it running once, but not […]
Yay! Today is Mount Washington Day 3! And my mom is here, Gramma Kay. She arrived Thursday night, and I spent Friday getting the new car ready for the trip. We got up at 5 AM, as usual, and hit the road but 6:02. We stopped at the store in Danville and go some sandwich […]
So a fellow Hardwickian also works in NYC on films as a union script supervisor. She raised some bucks to shoot a short film, which could be a pilot for a TV show. I had spoken to her a few weeks ago and asked to be on the crew. Most of her gang were 20-somethings […]
