Hypermiling........How my driving is.....

Ok, so I'm surfing the net the other day and I come across a video on CNN.com about some dude that's getting 50mpg in his non-hybrid Honda Accord. This interests me as I have to drive pretty far to work every day and I'm spending about $500/month on gas. So I put it to practice. I tried it out for a complete tank of gas and increased my fuel economy from about 20mpg to 27mpg by simply changing my driving habits. This was my first try and my goal is to average 30mpg in my 2007 Mustang. It's easy and you can do it in any vehicle. Follow a few simple rules and save 25-30% on gas.

Vasectomy update #2

All done. Wasn't a completely psychologically scarring moment in time. The procedure itself wasn't a big deal. Just a little tug here and some pressure there and it was all over. Now as I lay in bed with a bag of frozen peas, it feels like the after affect of being kicked in the nuts about two days ago. Just a dull ache. Doc prescribed me some Darvocet variety pain killer but I'm going to stick with 800 mg of Advil for now. I'm not a big fan of narcotics. They make me nauseous.

Vasectomy Update.

Ok, shaving your junk is just wrong on so many levels. I keep things trimmed up down there anyway, but this is just torture. Plus I've never tried the "Batwing" procedure before and let me just say, it was horrifying. I was just waiting to nick myself. Luckily everything is (somewhat) smooth and I'm psyching myself up for the procedure. My dad is taking me in to get it done because Missy had to use her last sick day to go to my Grandfather's funeral. Sooooo............that should be awkward.

So Dad, do you ever get that not so fresh feeling?

Snip snip snipperoo..............

No, that's not Snipe. It's Snip. As in I'm going to go and get snipped today. I've finally determined that I'm no longer of the baby producing mentality and I'm off to get the bullets taken out of the gun today. As Jeff Foxworthy would say, now I can just wave it around and point it at anybody.

Hmmmm.........Blogging.........

Well, I guess this will be my first go at this. People have asked me why I don't have a blog. I don't know what it will turn out to be. This could be my one and only entry depending on how I feel about it later. Who knows?
