Commentary on the trappings of my life. September 6, 2011. I’ve just started to use Lenovo’s new K1 tablet – and have had it for about a week or so. Since I work there, my decision to go with this device was partly in consideration for investing in my future and not somebody else’s, but also to better understand the experiences of the customers that I talk to in our community every day.

Rocker panel replacement C30 crew cab dually | markitude

Commentary on the trappings of my life. Rocker panel replacement C30 crew cab dually. April 10, 2014. The paint flaked. Holes appeared, and grew. Soon one of the doors became infected. The driver’s side rear door was really in bad shape – not only rusted in the corner, but on the bottom interior toward the front. Perhaps a better solution would have been to source a door from a salvage yard from another truck or suburban. But, waste not, want not – I thought I could fix this. In this view, we can see the...

Commentary on the trappings of my life. Brake job on Porsche Boxster S. January 4, 2012. Tags: porsche boxster s. We removed the wheels, brake pads, and then the calipers and rotors all the way around the car and hung the calipers from the struts using elastic cord. You could substitute wire, or some old coat hangers – anything that will support them and avoid damaging the brake hoses. Works to install the last caliper. Jim is quite familiar with the Brembo brakes and has worked with them on other Po...

First time golf spectator | markitude
https://markitude.wordpress.com/2011/06/25/first-time-golf-spectator
Commentary on the trappings of my life. First time golf spectator. June 25, 2011. I started the day with nothing more than the expectation of a warm summer day out of the office and anything beyond that would be a plus. Disembarking the shuttle bus, I was immediately impressed by the scale of the event- the branding, featured event partners, and co-ordination of an army of volunteers busy shuttling players and staff about in extended golf carts.

Exhausting work | markitude
https://markitude.wordpress.com/2015/02/02/exhausting-work
Commentary on the trappings of my life. February 2, 2015. I soon discovered that the massive factory catalytic converter was completely gutted – either by a prior owner, or through hard use over several decades. The muffler wasn’t looking so hot, and the abandoned lines to a non-existent air pump were worthless. After cutting off all the old, rusted junk…. I cleaned up the head-pipe flange and drilled out the holes to remove any remaining slag left over from the plasma cutter. From → Mechanical. Termites...

https://markitude.wordpress.com/2006/07/25/hello-world
Commentary on the trappings of my life. July 25, 2006. Until about February of just this year, I had only a vague concept of what a blog was, or even why someone would take time out of their life to post to one. Who needs an online diary? Are people really this deprived of regular attention, or so vain that they believe the world won’t function properly without their daily injection of opinion and insight? So, the journey begins….

Commentary on the trappings of my life. P0422 code on an Audi A4 – investigation leads to turbo and cat replacement. January 4, 2010. Note the missing plunger / plug, the open port and the wastegate actuator with the hole (where the plug would mount) to the right side of the picture. To the left side we can see the exhaust side turbine wheel. What a shiny clean, factory new turbo should look like – with all port covers and plugs in place to keep dust and debris out prior to installation. The factory conv...

Drystack Stone Fireplace | markitude
https://markitude.wordpress.com/2007/01/16/drystack-stone-fireplace
Commentary on the trappings of my life. January 16, 2007. The fireplace and chimney is roughly six feet wide , 2 and half feet deep (less hearth) and about 21 feet high due to the two story great room, and the sunken floor area. This picture below, taken from the second floor loft gives perspective on the relative scale. The ladder to the right is eight feet tall. As seen, the hearth and some stonework had been completed at time of this picture. Here is a closer view showing a little more progress. I fou...
