The good part about middle age is that when your friends come over for a party, they bring better gift booze. The terrible part is that I have to work tomorrow.

It’s just really nice to see that Hal Holbrook is still out there, living his best life.

Y’all. Y’ALL. $300 sounds like a lot for a single-slice Mitsubishi toaster from Japan that makes just one slice of toast at a time, but… …it makes one PERFECT slice of toast at a time.

Look, I'm not a complex man. Some days drinking from this mug — courtesy of the fine folks at the law firm of Morrison Foerster — while on a client call, with the logo facing out? That's subversive enough to keep me going for a good, long time.

In case you’re wondering, the new X3 actually does a decent job on the unpaved and fire roads in middle-of-nowhere, Nevada. Let’s not tell Sixt about this, please.

Here’s a post about GM quality, 2008 Yukon edition. Here we have the o-ring sealing the pickup tube to the oil pump, installed like this July 2007. And next we have the incredible leaking hydraulic motor mount, and the front differential covered in leaked motor mount shmoo.

Car weenies on the Internet won’t shut up about how MLS head gaskets require a perfect surface finish down to microns and they won’t take any variation in tolerance. They obviously didn’t tell the guy at GM who machined the heads on this truck in 2007.

Yesterday a coworker told me that he thought he saw me on the news, but it turns out that it was “that guy running for office in Maine” and if you need me I have pockets that need to be filled with rocks and a lake to go walk into.

I did a thing. I never thought I’d be a Panerai guy, but here we are. I always lumped Panerai in with the early 2000s — bad action flicks, tribal tattoos, goatees, the œuvres of Tony Scott and Sylvester Stallone… Maybe the brand is evolving. Maybe my tastes are. Maybe I’ve just become “that guy.”

My parents, when I was three, saved money by making me wear my sister’s old pink princess costume and told me that I was a wizard, then send us out trick or treating. This is my villain story.

Finally got the Bilstein 5100s with the NOS Z71 springs installed last night and I'm pretty pleased with the front ride height. As a treat, ordered some black fifteen52 Turbomac HDs to mount the K03s on. I worked for Brad Beardow for a few years at VMG, so call it residual fondness for the brand.

You know the scene in Don McKellar's "Last Night" where the world will end at midnight, but there's a guy at the power company, dutifully calling customers to let them know that the lights will remain on until the end? Working this weekend so an ad campaign can launch Monday morning feels similar.

I was going to chase some brake-line fittings so they screw into the new hoses ends more easily, but appear to have *lowers sunglasses* lost the thread. 𝘺𝘦𝘦𝘦𝘦𝘦𝘦𝘦𝘦𝘦𝘦𝘦𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘩𝘩𝘩

The plate showed up for the Yukon this afternoon. Sure, it's a little childish and stupid. But so is the world right now.

Remembering the time that I convinced my parents to look at a then-new '92 Camry as our family car, but they didn't like that the seats were "so firm" so they instead went out and bought... A four-cylinder Plymouth Acclaim. My villain origin story isn't dramatic, but at least it's understandable.

This scene from 1988’s “Tucker: The Man and His Dream” where Preston is lighting a cigarette whilst on trial for fraud goes harder than Coppola intended.

Guy at Panera trying to impress date: “I’m gonna buy ten Tesla robots and a plot of land for zero down on the mountains and have them panning for gold 24 hours a day. Straight passive income, bro.” I will vote for whichever candidate runs on a platform of hunting those people for sport.

Went to send a friend a message about Timothy Busfield and decided to use a screencap of him from "Sneakers". Google's AI helpfully told me he played Robert Redford's role. My friend tried Googling it and was authoritatively told that Busfield played David Strathairn's role. So, AI is going great.

Anyone who has experience with LS engines, I have this shiny new water pump, original GM, for a 2008 5.3. Do they all make noise like this, or was this a factory reject being sold as new?

If you ever feel awkward about making a first impression, let me assuage your anxiety with the story of a coworker at the magazine who, within five minutes of meeting me, produced a DVD of “Hard Candy” from his desk drawer and insisted that I just *had* to watch it.

For Christmas this year, I adopted a new corgi puppy, bought the most oddly-equipped GMC Yukon you ever did see (Cloth bench! Manual dual climate control! Three rows! Two-way power driver seat!), and received the Order of Lenin (For this, Captain). All things considered, ending 2025 on a high note.

I just filled out an application for a second corgi, to keep Kingsley company. Please tell me I am not going bonkers.
