Geek on Wheels

Random rolling ruminations

So how does a geek on wheels drive anyway?

That has to be a variation on the second most commonly asked question I get. Well come on, the MOST common question is fairly obvious don’t you think? I now have a host of interesting stories tell on my next vacation when that question gets asked over and over again…believe me the real story gets kind of boring after telling it so many times. So then what would be the.. Read More

Geek on Wheels needed some inspiration tonight…FOUND IT!

Haven’t written in way too long, even though I have about four posts in the pipeline…the combination of autumn ills, work silliness, exhaustion, new drug combinations for muscle spasms and about every other excuse anyone who likes to write has ever come up with NOT write, has forced me to start a post with a massive run-on sentence as I was seeking some inspiration on a night where I was..

A Geek is getting NEW wheels

It seems like I have a host of stories from our cruise this past that I haven’t had the energy to blog about, but this one I have been purposefully holding back and you’ll quickly see why. I’m getting a new chair! I wrote a post a few months back about GI Joe! No wait…it was about knowing being half the battle…no wait…about how different a chair I’d have if.. Read More

A geek on wheels doesn’t need a “cure”

Since getting back from out summer cruise, I’ve had one buggaboo in my head…and this late cool night in early autumn I feel a need to “discuss” it. I’ve been pondering how best to discuss it without actually offending anyone. I know I know, since when do I give a rat’s ass about offending anyone? Well let me see if this can make some sense. Here’s the gist of it:.. Read More

Geek on Wheels ponders “knowing is half the battle”

If you grew up on after school cartoons like I did, then you know that quote all too well. G.I. Joe (not the rather silly movies of today of course). Each episode would end with some lesson to the kids, telling them that knowing was halfway to a goal, or an understanding. For a lesson from a silly animated series designed to sell toys, where the animation was pretty terrible.. Read More

Geek on Wheels parks his thoughts

Ok that was a terrible title…but bear with me once more, oh reader. This past weekend, Shannon and I took our Toby to High Park’s amazing off-leash dog park. It is just a few blocks from us and has some amazing people who don’t mind dog’s getting a bit rough, a bit messy and big sloppy lick and random dog kisses. It’s a fun place. The trick is, the park..

This Geek on Wheels is NOT for sale!

With apologies for my long absence from ponderings of this relatively new life (with life seeming to get in the way quite often), I hope to be back a bit more regularly. I’ve had a few items come across my desk, my FB page, my twitter feed and my various voracious news reading that have begun to bring back some inspiration. That being said…my first need to post is one.. Read More

Geek on Wheels offers an #AccessWin! – Eastway Chrysler!

Seriously, how often do you ever give a car dealership a thumbs up? With all due to respect to my buddy John Hyman,  who works at the dealership in question…no one who isn’t a car fanatic LIKES to take their car in for maintenance. That said I do really enjoy my Dodge Journey, but the dealership I bought it from is completely out of date in both its looks and.. Read More
