On March 20th, 2022 I had the opportunity to have a discussion on Stereo with comedian Tracey MacDonald. Beyond being funny and super kind, Tracey is a wealth of information. She has 5 comedy albums/specials and you can find her on stage almost every night of the week. She’s the real deal, a working comedian and headliner. She spent over an hour talking with me … Continue reading Lessons Learned from a Headliner.
This was the first time I’ve ever driven a bus. Seats were removed within the first 24 hours. We used a 3/8 and 1/2 socket driver and wrench to remove the bolts on the seats. Audio provided by Bensound. Continue reading Tango 51 • Bus Pick Up & Seat Removal
I could not have asked for a better outcome. As anxious as I was it was an absolute relief when the time had passed and the auction did not extend. That was one of the main thoughts that had been popping in my head all day. Having known that feeling from an auction just two months earlier. It’s a 2004 Blue Bird All American with … Continue reading Tango 51 • School Buses & Where To Find Them
It’s time to move all the old blog content over to here and to add updates about projects. Note: I’ve tried to keep all the content as close to original as possible but some stuff needed to be updated. Continue reading New Blog…
NOTE: This was not published at the time. It was a forgotten draft until 2021. I remember getting interrupted and not being able to finish. However, now I think it’s kind of fun to read. Tonight is the last council meeting of the year. I type this as I sit at the Dias in council chambers. That has become the tradition I set into motion my … Continue reading Year End Review 2012
My thoughts and public post on the Yuma Block Party project are long overdue. I use the word “project” because I don’t use the word “business” any longer when talking about this venture we all went on in 2011. As someone that was raised in Yuma, you can’t help but remember the live events that brought the community together in downtown Yuma. We (myself and … Continue reading Yuma Block Party
NOTE: This was not published at the time. It was a forgotten draft until 2021. As I sit here, I am writing this on a tablet because I am reformatting a hard drive. I promise myself going forward from today, I will ALWAYS make a ghost image and run virus software (if I’m still running windows). This is the second time I’m doing this on … Continue reading Year End Review 2011
Today I completed my “scrapframe” from my recent San Francisco trip. This is something I do for all my adventures / journeys / travels. However today I felt like sharing what I do, because I don’t think this term “scrapframing” is coined…..maybe I should add it to Wikipedia. Many people do scrapbooks, which is a great way to preserve memories, but it is still in … Continue reading Scrapframing : My thing
This week on our City Council agenda is an item that could go before the voters of the City of Yuma.It is the question of a pay raise for the Mayor and City Council. What message does it send when the conversation is about giving ourselves a pay raise?Really now, what does it say, when we tell those full-time employees who serve the community “salary … Continue reading It’s not the Money, It’s the Message…Stupid
“Times like these you learn to live again.” – Dave Grohl I could not have put it any better. That whole song is the perfect four-and-a-half-minute summary of my experience in Austin Texas for South By South West (herein referred to as SXSW) or South By as the locals call it. On one of the many adventures McD and I did, we discussed the form … Continue reading SXSW – Times Like These
