I have always liked to figure out how things worked and make them work "better". That usually meant making something move faster, shoot farther, etc.  I also really appreciate a good hack and I have found a great one from Kipkay over at metacafe who also seems to have the same passion.

The hack involves turning a fairly pedestrian 2AA flashlight into a retina-scalding pocket rocket for less than what you would pay for lunch.  Here is a picture of two lights - the stock version and the modded version:

Yesterday Cutie and I had a big garage sale to get rid of some of the stuff in the house that we no longer need and to make some extra cash.  One of the items I had up for sale was a riding lawn mower I just don't have a use for as our current home doesn't have that big of a yard.

A couple came by yesterday and we haggled on a price and settled on something that both of us could agree on. They paid half yesterday and half today when they came by to pick up the mower.

Not one comment from my last entry?  I'm disappointed.

There was a lot of interest in my entry about my vasectomy procedure.  Things are healing up quite nicely and a few asked to see a photo of the scar since they are considering the procedure as well.

So here is a photo I took of my twig and berries for the good of the community. Warning - This could be considered NSFW.
