This is the third part of the three part series about 'Road Trip: 2010'. This part of the story is a cautionary tale. I was without a motorcycle and more than a thousand miles from home. I needed a way to get back in time for work. The way I saw it, I had three options. I could have flown, but it would have cut my trip a day short because I would have needed to have been...

This is the second part of the three part series about 'Road Trip: 2010'. What would you do in my situation? I mean seriously think about it. I'm a thousand miles away from home with a motorcycle that won't run without a great deal of work and money. I could have easily dropped the bike off at a shop, handed them my credit card and said, 'Here, fix this.' But that would have...

This is the first part in a three part series about 'Road Trip: 2010'. Maybe I wasn't 'born to be wild'. I woke up early and got myself and my bike ready for the road last Thursday. I had emptied out my saddlebags of their usual bit (later to my dismay) and loaded them with food, drink and other road essentials. I strapped my bag of clothes to the rack on the back of my...

A change of pace kind of week

danny@sassyhacksaws.com (Danny Zawacki) — Wed, 31 Dec 1969 07:00:00 -0500

I'm not even halfway done with the week and I know it's been interesting. As you know, I'm planning on road-tripping to Massachusetts this weekend on my motorcycle. Much to my dismay, on Sunday I found that my carbs had frozen in a wide open position. This is bad unless I want to get to Massachusetts with all available speed. I don't need that much speed. I spent the past two...

But they see a free individual, it's gonna scare 'em. I'm road tripping next week. I riding out to Massachusetts/Connecticut to visit my cousin and uncle. It's roughly an...

It seems like a lot of people are in limbo these days. Hardly anyone has a full time job even though everyone seems to need one. I've been looking, though my situation is complicated. First, I'm waiting to hear about the Peace Corps and I don't know how to go about finding a job when I might be leaving in a few months. Also, I agreed to work for the summer at a part-time job I had during...

Anniversary

danny@sassyhacksaws.com (Danny Zawacki) — Wed, 31 Dec 1969 07:00:00 -0500

June 9th was the three year anniversary of my longest running relationship. I fell in love with her freshman year of college. I saw her most everyday. She was always in the same spot, outside of Liz Waters, just sitting. I remember telling people that I was going to make her mine. I doubt they believed me, and who would? I had no experience in that kind of thing. But sure enough,...

When I bought the Kawasaki this year, it ran great the first day that I rode it. In fact, with the exception of a clutch cable that needed adjusting, it soared down the highway. One week later, I was stranded on the highway. I solved that problem. I replaced the clogged fuel filter. A short time later, I decided I was fed up with my carbs leaking gasoline while the bike sat, so I...

Farewell my dear friend

danny@sassyhacksaws.com (Danny Zawacki) — Wed, 31 Dec 1969 07:00:00 -0500

You may have noticed that the comic hasn't been updating this week. You may also have noticed that I increased the size of the comic last week and did so for seven days straight. That was my way of saying goodbye to the comic. There are several reasons why I chose to retire the comic. To me, each reason has merit and each reason makes me doubt my decision. I'm going to try and explain...

I make a point to leave my personal life out of this blog. However, this post will bring some of it in, but only because it's related to the Peace Corps. As you should know, the Peace Corps is a two and a quarter year commitment should you be accepted. I haven't been accepted yet, though it's getting close to when I should know. I'm sure that whoever wrote the application kept the time...

Let me start off by saying that I'm aware that the comic hasn't been updated today. It will be. I was at home yesterday working on the Kawasaki, playing softball and watching the series finale of Lost. I plan on updating this afternoon, so stick with me. The Kawasaki is ridable, though I'm definitely wary about riding it from home to my apartment. Lost started six years ago and it...

An education

danny@sassyhacksaws.com (Danny Zawacki) — Wed, 31 Dec 1969 07:00:00 -0500

It's official, I graduated. World, may I come in? So what does that mean? I no longer have to go to class. I can now read for pleasure. I have plenty of free time to putz around my apartment. I can get a full time job. Reading for pleasure is going to be hard to adjust myself to. It's a lot easier to stop reading and take a nap if I don't have to have the book read by a...

First softball game of the season was yesterday. We won. I came home with a decent cut from sliding into second. The girlfriend is home for the summer, and currently on an island with very limited communication. I worked on the Kawasaki this past weekend and it's made some progress, but I'm still worried about getting it running well enough to ride it to someone who can work on...

The internet was out for a good portion of work today. I could have used the time to work on one of my papers due later this week, but instead I chose to play solitaire. I'm going to try and crank one or two papers out this afternoon after chugging an energy drink. I had my last day of classes last Thursday. It wasn't different than any other day. I had friends who claimed to be quite...
