Knowlesville Posted on November 27, 2009 by MattNovember 27, 2009

Replacing the Del Sol’s Headlights

Knowlesville Posted on November 5, 2009 by MattNovember 5, 2009

After Lori’s accident with the deer I needed to replace the right headlight and turn signal. The first step was to remove the front bumper so I could fully assess what was going to be needed. Not sure how to …

Strike Two

Knowlesville Posted on October 30, 2009 by MattOctober 30, 2009

When I got home from the fire department drill last night the garage door for the Del Sol was open, which I thought was kind of odd. When I got into the house, Lori told me why. She had hit …

The Front is Finally Done!

Knowlesville Posted on August 31, 2009 by MattAugust 31, 2009

In May of 2008 I started the long process of painting the house. I decided to tackle the front first, because it is of course the most interesting side of the house, but also the porch was new construction and …

Windy Ridge

Knowlesville Posted on August 11, 2009 by MattAugust 11, 2009

Yesterday was a beautiful day in Ferndale, so location scouting was as much of an excuse as I needed to get the KLR650 out of the garage and load it up with camera gear. Last month on our hike to …

Repairing an Antique Rim Lock

Knowlesville Posted on June 15, 2009 by MattApril 26, 2018

Since we’re going to be hosting some out of town guests this weekend for the Bionic Woman Variety Show, Lori’s been hard at work cleaning the guest bathroom. Calling it the guest bathroom is a bit of a misnomer. It’s …

Bothe Napa State Park

2 Week Update

Knowlesville Posted on May 11, 2009 by MattMay 11, 2009

It’s now been two weeks since Lori’s activation date and it’s been two of the most interesting weeks in my life. Trying to describe how I’ve felt has been hard. I can only imagine that it must be close to …

Honey Do List From Hell

Knowlesville Posted on May 11, 2009 by MattMay 11, 2009

This weekend Lori and I didn’t have to go anywhere, and the weather was really nice. I was very tempted to take one of the motorcycles out for a spin, especially since this is one of my favorite times to …

Today was like the best Christmas ever. Today was Lori’s activation day. After spending the last 19 days in total silence, the big day finally came and she got to see how the new implants worked.  We got to Stanford …

I just received this message in my mailbox: Hello, I am Steven, a respectable business man from Canada. I am indeed interested in your horse posted for sale. I want to buy the horse as a surprise birthday gift for …

Painting Season Has Arrived

Knowlesville Posted on April 21, 2009 by MattApril 21, 2009

Growing up with San Jose’s dry weather presented some challenges when it came time to adapt to the humid coastal climate of Ferndale. Many of them emotional, but some practical as well, such as painting one’s house. Our house in …

The Waiting Room

Knowlesville Posted on April 9, 2009 by MattApril 9, 2009

I’ve now been sitting in the waiting room at Stanford for 5 hours. We arrived a little after 5:30am. On the wall in the waiting room is a TV screen similar to the arrival and departure screens at the airport …

Transformation

Knowlesville Posted on April 8, 2009 by MattApril 8, 2009

Last night we had dinner with some friends, who, like us, have had their marriage tested by health problems. In their case, one of them has had several strokes and has a hard time speaking. So at dinner we had …

The Real McCoys

Knowlesville Posted on April 7, 2009 by MattApril 9, 2009

Chinese Cookies and Pincushions

Knowlesville Posted on April 6, 2009 by MattApril 7, 2009

We came down to San Jose for Lori’s pre-op meeting on Friday, which went well except that a computer mixup meant that she missed getting a bunch of needed tests. So we had to go back to Stanford today so …
