  Allergies Suck

  07.13.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  I hate sunflowers. It’s not how they look; it’s what their seeds do to me because of my allergies that I hate.

  Avoiding sunflower seeds is fairly easy, but these days food manufacturers are putting sunflower oil in everything from coffee creamer to potato chips, and it’s getting harder & harder to avoid. I was […]

  Happy Father’s Day, Dad

  When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years.
  Mark Twain
  Dad has been gone since 1987, and there are days I miss him […]

  Automania 2008 Is On For Tonight!

  06.18.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  Yes! The Night of the Hot Rods has finally arrived!
  Automania is tonight, June 18, 2008. The weather forecast looks excellent, so you can bet that I’ll be there, dragging the boys around (or maybe the other way round) snapping pictures of everything they’re not interested in. They’ll likely be gawking at the shiny Ferraris, […]

  The family and I went to see Prince Caspian on opening night a couple weeks back, and we were all a little disappointed in the movie’s departure from the original story. My better half read the Narnia Chronicles to the kids when they were younger, and the older ones have read the books numerous times. […]

  The Plywood Bike

  The boys and I are still planning on building a rowbike of some kind — at least I am, but they’re getting a little impatient wondering when we’re going to get started. I’ve been trying to source cheap/free frame materials and trying to figure out in my head how to construct the thing, and think […]

  “What Do You Want For Christmas?”

  Who, me? Oh, not much. I’m very easy to please. Here’s a list…
  a two-car garage,
  a couple of vehicles that don’t have acres of rust on them,
  a MIG welder, drill press and milling machine,
  unlimited funds and sufficient time to finish some of the unfinished projects around the house,
  40 pounds off my […]

  Lost Family Found, Almost Under Our Noses

  11.24.07 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  I’ve been doing some research trying to find more about my family history… Uncle Runt did some work on the family tree years ago, but went only as far back as his Grandfather (my Great Grandfather), Serrill C. Thornton, born in 1852 in Whitehall, NY. His father — my Great-Great Grandfather — was also named […]

Welcome to davintosh. I write about anything that strikes my fancy; no guarantee that you'll find it interesting, or that you'll agree with me, or that you'll be entertained. Not that I don't care. I just don't read minds. It'd be great if you'd leave a comment to let me know you were here.
