In our last episode, I was failing at welding and making things even. In this episode, we’ll try something new. This time, things turned out pretty well!
Bicycle Cargo Trailer Build – Take1
by simoriah on Feb.27, 2011, under Uncategorized
Monkey and I do a lot of fishing in the warmer weather. We also like to do a lot of bicycle riding. The two tend to be mutually exclusive, so I sent out to build a trailer so we can ride to the lake, go fishing, and ride home.
It’s not pretty. Hell, it’s downright UGLY! It’s part of why I scrapped the design.

A friend of mine just sent this to me and I thought I’d post the recipe. I’m kind of afraid to try it out….

Exchange 2007 certificate issue
by simoriah on Sep.16, 2009, under Uncategorized
Exchange 2007 UCC SSL certificates. We love ‘em. They actually do make life a little easier when dealing with SSL on internal and external environments. But I just ran into a little quirk with the GoDaddy interface and with the Microsoft Certificate Store.
Antenna Attachment Point?
by simoriah on Jan.04, 2009, under computers
My dad’s a camper. Well… sort of. He spends about a month per year camping in his RV. He’s got a laptop. It has a wireless internet connection. But he can rarely use it because his “wireless campgrounds” tend to have a single WAP at one end of the campground. In their office. With cheezy little antennas. And a picnic table outside so you can drag your laptop out to it and do your surfing there. It’s a little less than ideal. So I’ve set out to fix this for my dad. I’m going to make dad a beefy antenna for his RV. The antenna will have a USB wifi dongle inside it so there’s VERY low RF loss. A USB cable will then plug into his laptop. That’s the plan, anyway.

I can’t remember where I saw these pictures… but I decided to make some white-chocolate covered Oreo snowmen!

If you read this post, then you know how frustrating and exciting this whole thing has been. I got the TV. HOORAY! I got it home, started loading the TV stand and then…

All-day Spaghetti Meat Sauce
by simoriah on Nov.29, 2008, under food
My birthday is right around the corner. The tradition in our family is to tell Mom what you want for dinner and dessert and it magically appears on the table when we all get together to celebrate that birthday. This year, I decided to do things at my place. That kinda means that I have to cook. Oh, the humanity!
I decided on Lasagna with garlic bread for dinner. I want carrot cake for dessert. Some will say they don’t go together. Carrot cake goes with everything when it’s this good. 
I make my spaghetti sauce the old-fashioned way. I add a bit of this, some of that, mix in more of that, and then let it simmer all day. I’ll be estimating measurements for the “recipe” so those that want to follow along can.
Peeling Tomatoes

I had to look this one up once upon a time because I just didn’t know how the heck you peel a tomato. Once I saw how, it made perfect sense. Blanch them! (continue reading…)
