Reading “Faster” by Neal Bascomb
  • I’ll give it a shot…

    Reading this book you feel like you are racing through Europe at over 200mph with the wind whipping through your hair all while feeling like you are in a Time Machine and wanting to shake the world leaders and have them do something about Hitler’s rise of power in Motorsport all while flexing his (human)race-ending tendencies.

  • Reading “Faster” by Neal Bascomb

    Highly recommend book to any fans of racing, and perhaps, of history. Fascinating read and a page turner!

    Back to reading after being sick for a bit! Happiness…

    Updated to latest OS. Pretty cool. Enjoying some good reading since I’ve been out of commission for a bit.

    What are folks thoughts on putting in personal information in for device recovery?

    I’ve typically just use my first letter of name and phone number for device name.

    Does anyone do anything different? What information do you include?

    Also, just realized that I did put a device PIN on it, so. It sure if any information would be helpful if I lost it and it were found

    [Help] Library loan expired

    I am reading ‘Prequel’ by Rachel Maddow. Great book. I came down with a terrible cold that has sidelined my ability to focus. Can’t read while not feeling well. Anyhow… I put myself back on ‘Libby waitlist’ for library loan.

    In meanwhile, I figured it can’t returned if I put it into ‘Airplane-mode’; Is that right?

    HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND HAPPY ALMOST NEW YEAR!!!

    Two books at once.. Have only attempted a couple of times, but more fun on a Kindle!

    I find if I choose two radically different subjects, or genres, it is less challenging and doesn’t feel overwhelming. For instance, I was reading ‘The Republic’ by Plato and ‘The Nasty Bits’ by Anthony Bourdain last time.

    Now I am reading ‘Prequel’ by Rachel Maddow (non-fiction) and ‘The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store’ by James McBride (fiction).

    Are you a two-timer?

    Reading ‘Prequel’ by Rachel Maddow… What are you reading?

    Started this book and am really enjoying it thus far. It is a great follow-up, or prequel, if you will, to her podcast ‘Ultra’. Fascinating story, and a warning…

    [Question] Cleaning a dirty device

    My PW11g is super smudgy. Anyone have any advice on cleaning?

    My device is currently naked, sleeveless and livin’ da dream!

    I did it! Wasn't long, but I triumphed!

    Kids were getting ready for school and there was some downtime before I started for work. The dog was somehow calm (puppy warning... getting a puppy is just crazy -- it's like we have a new toddler!)

    I read for a good 10 minutes, or so, and am going to hit the rest of that chapter tonight!

    Hope everyone had a nice weekend, and a good start to your week...

    I haven't read in a bit, but... There is hope!

    I have to admit, I have not read in a bit, or posted for that matter... I think it is a little of parental exhaustion, back-to-school madness, busy at work, etc. I'm a little embarrassed, but I'd rather be up front about it than not.

    This weekend sounds like a great time to pick up my Kindle and read even for a few minutes, a few pages...

    I didn't realize that subscribers have ballooned here! Welcome everyone, and please, please, please contribute if you have time.

    Have a great weekend all, and feel free to share your story of reading breaks, why you may have had one, what brought you back or what tools or tips you have for me or others...

    Be kind to each other and read on!
