Weight Loss Update

Well, I've officially lost 20 pounds since the beginning of this year.  I have about 30 more to go this year to reach my goal.  Also, it's worth noting that I started running again.  I bought some new shoes yesterday over at Fleet Feet.  My old running shoes were toast after about 250 miles.  Apparently running shoes don't last very long when you are a fat boy.

Google Desktop Search

It should be known that Google Desktop Search freaking rocks.  I was just able to turn up something I thought was long gone for work.  It's really creepy actually.  I know it's been a while since I posted and this is far from substantial, but this needed to be said.  Stay tuned for some better news.

Rip. Chug Chug. Vroom.

Do you hear that?   That's the sound of success.  Last year I was given a tiller of unknown origin.  It didn't run, and that is exactly the reason it was being given to me.  I finally got around to looking at it, and the carburetor was plugged up good.  I replaced the diaphragm and pickup tube.  I ran carb cleaner through the whole thing and blew it out with the air compressor.  I put it all back together and gave 'er a tug.  The rest is history.
