Major milestone

Last night I reached what I consider a major milestone with the Cobra.  I plugged the wiring harness’ back in after finishing the trimming.  It didn’t start on the first try but it did on the second!  Idled kind of rough but I suspect that’s because I didn’t tighten things down, like the battery terminals, […]

Wire diet, Part 2

I’m almost done with the wire diet.  I’ve trimmed out everything except about half of the dash harness.  That one’s taking a bit longer as I’m trying to be careful not to cut something important.  All of the harness were pretty simple with the exception of the dash.  The dash hasn’t been bad so far, […]

A@H new?

I usually enjoy Andy Abrahmson’s writing but come on Andy…this post makes it sound like Asterisk@Home is somthing new. As anyone reading my blog could tell, it’s been around for quite a while. And I didn’t even get into it until it was close to a 1.0 release. It’s up to 2.7 now! As I […]

Peanuts and beer

I have memories of Memorial Stadium in the summer, growing up.  I can remember sitting on the 3rd base line, about 20, maybe 30 rows up from the dugout.  Almost all of the times it was with my Dad.  He’d score the game and I’m sure I nagged him for food regularly.  I remember seeing […]
