Out and about town that is. Having gotten our cars all properly registered, we decided to put them to some use this evening. Out to Kura sushi for dinner. ( All plates 105 yen!). After gorging myself on 15 plates ( and thus tying my previous record….), I rolled out

But I do. Hongkie Town Redux: Bad Timing? Now that is funny!

In this new job, I have to drive to various locations in and around the Kanto plain. So I sold my old car and bought a reasonably nice one. Plus, because I do go out in the car, vice just taking the train, I and the S.O. decided we should

Shameless plug for Norton Ghost follows…………. Worth every penny I put on my credit card. I was able to recover all of my porninfo on the computer. Took me a while, but it was made longer by that damn thing called work getting in the way. While I was out
