Jordan Motokazie Supercross Practice with a Honda 250R from April 2009
Feeling nostalgic tonight, so posting this old video from 15 years ago of my friend Dave on his Honda 250R at the Scott County Fairgrounds Motokazie Track in Jordan, MN. Check out that old gnarly layout!
Standard definition because that’s what the original GoPro was!
Tornado Season: Here’s how to stay safe, vigilant
Rice County’s new Emergency Manager Joe Johnson, as well as Rice County Skywarn, got a good write-up in today’s Faribault Daily News on how to stay safe and vigilant during tornado season. Give it a read!
Big Nine Music Festival
Really excellent performance by our Big Nine select performers! Since I was at the Jordan Motokazie last night, Bethany and I listened to the grand finale concert this morning, and had a nice homemade breakfast afterwards. If you want to lay back on a rainy, gloomy Saturday and listen to some great music by talented musicians, this is a great way to start!
Leave it to May!
May Bottke, my Kindergarten teacher, surprised me yet again! Today, I received a birthday card in the mail from her, wishing me a happy 46th birthday, along with a special personalized note.
It’s widely known that May has a special gift of remembering birthdays of her former students. It’s astonishing when the fact is May herself will turn the big 100 this coming November!

New mechanical SCSI hard drive replaced in an Apple Mac SE FDHD
I replaced an old Quantum SCSI hard disk drive in an Apple Mac SE FDHD this afternoon. A project long overdue! I needed to use the third-party Lido hard drive management and partition utility to get the Apple to recognize a non-Apple hard disk drive. Just as proprietary and “closed ecosystem” back then as they are today!
