I forgot I hadn’t written yet about the first thing Hurlburt did! Before the $2500 TV was discovered, it was made public that Richard Hurlburt had purchased a generator for the heft sum of $8000. I also hear he paid $3000 to have it installed at his house! What the hell was [...]

I’ve thought lately about going back to school, an electronics repair course would be right up my alley and would help out a lot. There’s only one place left in town that does repairs and they’re only doing TVs now from what I hear, so I’m sure there’d be a bit of business to [...]

One way or another, we are taking some vacation time this summer! Something always comes up whenever we plan to take some time off, but this summer we are going somewhere, somehow, even if it means closing the store completely for a week. Most likely we’ll spend a few days in the Halifax [...]

The basement here is full of junk, stuff that will probably never sell but I refuse to throw away. The basement home is also full of junk, stuff that I might need someday, for something. But it’s too much and kept for too long so this spring I need to start tossing stuff. [...]

It’s hard to buy a Christmas gift for a Chinese woman, they have a lot of superstitions. For example, I know she needs a new pair of shoes, but I can’t buy them for her. Might as well give her a set of Rimowa luggage, it has the same meaning. Giving shoes [...]
