Free Obama – Biden 2012 Bumper Sticker

Michael — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 16:29:06 +0000

Finally, they are back! The free bumper stickers for the 2012 presidential campaign. And at least for a while, until they are all given away, you can get yours. All you have to do is go to https://my.barackobama.com/page/s/om-get-your-obama-biden-sticker or click on the picture within this post to go to the official Barack Obama campaign site. If this time is like my past experiences, it will take about 2 to 3 weeks for your free bumper sticker to be mailed to you.

Please do realize that by filling out that form for the free sticker that you are giving them the right to email you and postal mail you in the future. You will be asked for donations, for volunteer time, and for support. But in my mind this is all worth it.

Oh, and for those of you worrying about sticking stickers on your car, two hints. I don’t want to put bumper stickers on my car either if they are going to damage the paint or never come off. To get around that you need to either stick your free sticker on the glass, or get some of that flexible magnet material and put the sticker on that, then on to the metal of your car.

If you do use the magnet route, please move the sticker around a bit every week or two and also make sure to clean underneath it. If you don’t, the contaminants and grit held down by the magnet can damage your cars finish. This is especially crucial if you have a metallic or semi-metallic paint job. The magnets can actually cause the paint to separate from your car and peel off when you remove the magnet.

For those reasons I plan on putting my free Obama for President sticker on my back windshield. But the magnet option is good too – as long as you take the precautions.

Need more caffeine! Good presentation though.

Sometimes better stuff comes in the mail than bills. Today’s mail brought trains! Or at least a model railroad magazine.

Turning 16

My son turns 16 tomorrow, Friday. Still hard to believe. Seems so recently that he was riding on my shoulders, now he is getting close to rivaling me in height. At least he will still play trains with me! Happy birthday Colin.

Review: The 4-Hour Workweek

Michael — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 14:54:25 +0000

The 4 Hour Workweek, Expanded And Updated: Expanded And Updated, With Over 100 New Pages Of Cutting Edge Content. by Timothy Ferriss
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A good book for generating ideas and getting your mind going. Your Milage May Vary, and you certainly need to adjust a lot of what is here for your own goals, but that is true of any book or advice. Tim Ferriss can also be a bit obnoxious and hard-to-take at times, but there is no arguing that what he does is successful for him. Really worth a read even if just to get your motor running.

Train Mags in the Mail

Michael — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 02:50:47 +0000

Sometimes it seems that the only things that come in the mail are bills. Finally today something good came though – trains! Well, not an actual train, but the next best thing. A model railroad magazine. Yup, doesn’t take much to make me happy.

Made a fantastic lasagna last night.

Michael — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 16:05:52 +0000

Yes, I made it. From scratch! And it was delicious. Don’t just take my word for it, my family devoured it. Gonna have to make another one again soon.

First regularly scheduled passenger service in the US. Fantastic model made by Lionel a few years back, and would loveto get a hold of one. I should have bought one when they first came out.
