weed whacker
Will someone please help me with hand held weed whacking, lawn smacking, string whipping devices? Brand names, relative merits of 2 vs. 4 stroke engines, etc.? I had a battery powered one that sucked for about 20 hours of use before the battery died, so I'm not looking to go battery or...- daycart1

Sumo time!!!
The summer basho is on in Kyoto. The new yokozuna, Hakuho, is off to a good 2-0 start, but the other, Asashoryu, lost on the first day!! The best online print source I've found for following this is: http://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/sumo.html If you've got no local cable coverage (like me...- daycart1

College World Series!
OK, the Tar Heels are in and so are my old team: the UC, Irvine Anteaters. Looks like ESPN is having pretty good coverage this year. Last year the Heels muffed it in the final series, so I'm hoping for better this time around. As I write this, I'm checking out the Fullerton/UCLA qualifying game...- daycart1

Astounding Sumo Action!
With just two days to go in the big May basho, Asashoryu is out of it with three losses! Hakuho is undefeated and looks very like to get the yusho and promotino to yokozuna!! There are just two guys at two losses with any chance of catching him. For a long time now, there has been only one...- daycart1

Sumo is back!!
Boy, that was a long wait. Haru basho is now on in Osaka. The first day was full of upsets including Yokozuna Asashoryu losing to Tokitenhu. Perhaps this time will be more competitive than usual. A good place to follow along is http://www.sumonow.net/200703/200703..._now_day_1.php Another...- daycart1

Anyone else bummed out that Mark Martin got pipped at the finish line? That would've been a great career climax for an old guy! I'd like to see what Montoya would do with a good car....- daycart1

January Sumo Basho!!!!
Well, we're now past the halfway point and Asashoryu is at only one loss and on his way to another yusho! Otherwise the story is the continued impact of the non-Japanese rikishi. There are now top guys from Russia, Georgia, Korea, Bulgaria, Estonia, and especially Mongolia. The only guy with a...- daycart1

November sumo basho!!!
Well, this time around Asashoryu cleaned up again on the 13th day--zensho (undefeated). Kaio is OK this time with ten wins so far, but no one can touch the yokozuna. Hamasho, just up from the juryo division is currently second with 11 wins. No prospects for promotion to Ozeki, so things are...- daycart1

September Basho
OK, Sumo fans, it is here! The basho is off to a very interesting start as all of the Ozeki are having trouble. Kaio, in particular, has dropped out with an injured hip. Asashoryu looks strong as usual, though he has dropped an early bout to Kisenosato. A good place for updates is here...- daycart1

July Sumo basho
Asashoryu has won again, and on the 14th day! He hasn't lost a single match. No surprise there. I suppose that the big news is the growing dominance of non-Japanese wrestlers. There are no longer any Americans in the top two divisions, but various Koreans, eastern Europeans, and especially...- daycart1

NCAA seedings
Not too many surprises this time. The #1 seeds were pretty straightforward, though if OSU wins the big 10, they'll look good after the fact. None of the top teams finished really strongly this year... And it is hard to see how Tenn. got the last #2 seeding.... I'm hoping for the Tar Heels to...- daycart1

Who else is stoked for F1 this year?!?
The season opened today in Bahrain. A very tight race between Alonso and Big Schuey, with Alonso taking the lead for good on the last pit stop. Raikonnen worked his way from the back of the grid up to third. Some of the cars have V8s this year and they are back to changing tires in the...- daycart1

Drama in Osaka!!
Sumo time, everyone! The March basho is underway. Asashoryu, the yokozuna won on the first day. There are two Ozeki kabodan (in danger of demotion) this time: Kaio and Chiyotaikai---that'll be worth watching. Also, Hakuho will be trying to get promoted to Ozeki!- daycart1

old school
Who can remember using a transistor radio with one of those crummy single ear, unsealed, semi-canal earplugs they sometimes came with? Now when I listen with an earbud in one ear it seems really creepy! When I was a kid, it seemed almost inconceivably high tech to have a single-side earphone!- daycart1

Big news at January Sumo basho
It's already Basho time! Kotooshu made Ozeki, but lost on the first day! (He did recover on Day 2). Asashoryu has lost on Day 2--this has happened very rarely on his remarkable run over the past two years...it'll be interesting to see what happens. (BTW: did anyone catch the amateur...- daycart1
