Junkin’ It Up

My Dad is the all-time greatest! Other people see junk half buried in mud on some remote hillside and drive on by. Not my dad. My dad drives back because, and I quote, “it’d look nice your garage.” He knows me so well! Now, look what I have!

Squee-age!!!

The plan is to rip off all of the backing, replace the plastic sheet numbers with ones I create, and hang it over my work bench. I’m leaving the rust. Partly because it looks perfect as it is and partly mostly because I’m lazy. I have high hopes for this piece of Americana. It’s going to help my garage be cool. Which will help me be cool. Even if only in my mind.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

As I still don’t have internet back (yet), this is going to be a wee bit shorter than I would like. But soon, soon I shall amaze all with my astounding blogging skills! (Oh how I miss writing…)

Anyway, moving on to the main attraction as I know that’s why you are actually here and not at all interested in my mumblings about technology withdrawl. I found a few good sites that I though everyone might be interested in and that are holiday related.

First up, if you have some spare change, plan your visit to Ireland. I didn’t have enough money for that, so I hiked down to the wheel of death and got a very festive Mountain Dew.

Before you go, learn some of the lingo. Or learn it just because! You might also want to try this out and learn more than just a few phrases.

Of course, being a history major, I would also highly recommend knowing some basic Irish history before you head in that direction. Oh, and if you like that sort of thing, you’ll dig the history of St. Patrick’s day. Horray for learning!

Or maybe you’d like to just do the cooking thing instead and celebrate at home.

So, who’s up for buying me a Guinness?
