Rufus The Doofus

I guess today is the day that I should be reflecting about the past year and dreaming up silly resolutions for the year ahead. I try to be a little more practical in how I waste my free time. (which is why I think there should always be something educational or entertaining to read [...]

My new skates finally arrived yesterday. I was very pleasantly surprised.
It’s rare these days when companies take pride in customer service and providing quality products. This is especially true in sporting equipment since the likes of Reebok and Nike have bought up all of the major manufacturers of skates and pads. (I [...]

I spoke with the customs broker today. It looks like our Land Cruiser BJ42 should clear customs tomorrow or Monday. That’s much faster than I had anticipated. There could be one delay due to the Registered Importer selected by the broker. The RI doesn’t usually handle non-conforming vehicles. There’s usually [...]

This year we stayed in Maine for Christmas. Since the weather was going to be pleasant with highs in the low 30s we decided to ski into camp for the night. We took the dogs too. After five miles of hills and valleys this is me and the pups falling asleep at 3:30 [...]

Dr. Paul’s Meet the Press appearance earlier today didn’t go as well as it could have. On the other hand the campaign has put together a 30 minute infomercial that they are running on TV in Iowa this weekend. You can watch each of the 15 minute segments below.

I was reading a bunch of news articles earlier tonight and noticed that the Ron Paul Blimp was in Baltimore today. I wonder if they saw our Toyota BJ42 being unloaded from the ship?
You didn’t know there’s a Ron Paul Blimp?

I’ve previously mentioned that we’re importing a Toyota BJ42 from New Zealand. That’s it in the picture. The ship it’s on is named “Texas”. The ship arrived in the Port of Baltimore today. I’m curious how long it’s going to take for the shipment to clear customs and make its way [...]

We had some time to kill at North Station waiting to catch the Downeaster this past weekend. I saw a sign on the ceiling that struck me as odd. How light in the loafers are the people of Boston that they have to post these kinds of warnings in public places? I’d [...]

We made the trip down to Boston yesterday for the Ron Paul Rally at Faneuil Hall. It was the worst day of the year weather-wise to be traveling but I’m glad we did it. The photo is us taking a break with Santa upstairs in Quincy Market after the Rally.
Thankfully the old 4Runner [...]
