Everyday Tracks

My lease ends soon, so I'm looking at apartments in Stillwater.  Am I staying in Stillwater after all? I look at one that is rather old (older than the place I'm staying at) with lots of rust issues on the stairwell and other issues. Includes a human interaction opportunity at another place where I'm talking to a leasing agent.  She's great. I'll be recording video of the new apartment (which won'...

There are more problems at the apartment complex.  There are even more water leaks. Seven types of drunks.  I have a lot of experience with them. A not-very-detailed origin story of Stereo Dust Particles , from where it started to what it became. While I don't have many pet peeves, I want to tell you about one of them.  It's a side effect of using public clothes washers and dryers at laundromats....

Podcast distribution note:  After advertising that I'm on Apple Podcasts and not being able to see that I'm on Apple Podcasts, I assumed I was.  I wasn't.  However, it has been fixed and I'm searchable on Apple Podcasts.  I will work on other distributions later. Segment 1 Looking through all the closets to find what I have Taken a lot of stuff to the charity shop donation bin Tested fitment of la...

This is an episode that involves adventure. Segment 1 Jeep Talk I can't go outside to create content because the wind won't stop blowing. It still has a vibration because of the driveshaft. Can't get a oil change Probably gonna need a new oil pan, but I can't replace it. Segment 2 Apartment Complex There's a lot of stuff happening around here.  This segment explains some of the things going on.  I...

For some reason, I did not post this episode, so here it is nearly a year late. Segment 1 Going to Tuscaloosa to look at an apartment. In order to rent it, I have to look at it so I'm driving to look at it. Encountering lots of traffic already. Segment 2 I'm still driving down the road and still in Tennessee Traffic signals with cameras or loops don't do trucks.  They are too slow to keep the ligh...

On this episode, I'm preparing to leave Stillwater, Oklahoma.  Where am I going to move to? Segment 1 Lots of events coming to Stillwater this Spring I read off some of the events Of note, Calf Fry and the Boys from Oklahoma Concert DRUNKS! Stillwater reminds me of Taylor, Texas Lots of low quality retail Segment 2 Route 66 Road Trip Adventure Gas Prices Increasing Picked another university I *mig...

I went to my first NCAA Division I baseball game at O'Brate Stadium, froze my hands off, missed a bases-loaded homer while I was at the concession stand, and recorded all the weird stadium ambience so you can feel like you were there. Between the echoing organ, the slow innings, and my frank take on why Stillwater’s economy feels so stuck, this episode mixes game-day vibes with a candid chat about...

I'm taking a break while I'm finishing up a lot of work. Make sure to follow me on YouTube. https://youtube.com/channel/UChDu-pfls2CGqbZy8okbtEg

Seventeen days in without a cigarette plus more details about my move.

It's about a month from now that I'll make the journey to Stillwater, Oklahoma. I'm making preparations for the trip.

I had scheduled a campus tour at the University of Alabama and I've been wanting to go for a long time.  Finally, I get to go. ----more---- Chapter 1 Waking up and intro Chapter 2 Getting in the truck and beginning my trip What I did the night before I wanted to rent a car to take this trip.  That didn't happen. Briefly discuss why the Jeep was in the shop for so long Vintage ad break Chapter 3 We...

In this episode, I travel to Oklahoma to do two campus tours.  One of those at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater OK and the University of Oklahoma in Norman.  What happens on this trip is the culmination of poor planning and preparation and the most freakish winter weather event that no one at the National Weather Service could have forecast.

Will the Jeep be fixed by the time the episode ends? Election Day in the US. New soft top.

There must be a run on Jeep PCMs because this is taking a long time.  Far too long that it should.  This is no different than everything else I've bought for the Jeep including a new seat belt fastener that took two or three months to get. I got accepted to the University of Alabama.  Wow, that happened rather fast.  I didn't have to wait long before I got the email.  Soon after, I got a package w...

In this episode: I began having issues with the electronic throttle control in September (really, on the one year anniversary).  It finally stopped working completely.  I explain what I've been though thus far with it. In previous episodes, I've gone through financials on moving to two different places and how I could sustain living there.  I've added to that list and I'm using college transfer to...

As discussed in episode 19 of Everyday Tracks, I fixed another engine coolant leak.  I want to make sure that the leak is solved, so I take a trip to where I bought the Jeep.  I might even trade this Jeep in for another Jeep, a 2012 model. Eating at Sonic Drive-In in Hartsville TN I love small towns, but I don't like living in them...anymore. "Peanut butta" There's a reason Tab isn't called Diet T...

This is in stereo (mostly) for your enjoyment. My dad and stepmother are going camping in the middle nowhere Jeep upgrades 13.3 inch front brakes Cheap upgrade versus buying a new caliper with bigger brakes without buying a entire new system Broke one set of caliper sliding pins Old brakes had 11.8 inch brake rotors I don't know if driving the 1 ton truck with a camper is worth three days of campi...

This is a short one to catch up for the lack of full episodes. Two full episodes are coming up soon #notpodfading I got ducked. Plus more in this ten-ish minute QuikTrack.

Welcome to another episode of Everyday Tracks!  In this episode: I bought some cloth seats from a junkyard Jeep JK. Since the transmitter move in May, we've had issues with the signal.  I drove north to Portland TN to find out if it was equally as bad and what I found. While driving, I ended up in Bowling Green KY Since the University of Tennessee-Knoxville's baseball team won a World Series, is i...

Hello once again and welcome to Everyday Tracks.  In this episode: Checking out trail camera photos  Are people still moving to Tennessee many months after the pandemic (when a lot of people did move)? I made a decision on where I'm going, but I need to make sure I made the right decision.  I need to go there first and experience the area first before leaving. I ordered more parts for the Jeep and...

Because I'm so busy, I had to throw away three months of recordings I made for podcast episodes and start over...again.  There was no way I could make up the difference and in future episodes of Everyday Tracks, I'll explain why. Computer problems have caused me to rethink my scheduling, but it allows me to be better able to make things happen anywhere and everywhere I go.  As I'm typing this, I'm...

In this episode (since I didn't do a intro): Parts of this episode were recorded in February 2024 Called the county to fix the pothole-ridden road Smart TVs are taking over the living room, but the are also taking over choice.  They are a pain in the butt. New warm wool jacket. New-age front loader washer spazzes out. Still looking at places to move to that is not Tennessee Continuing with the spe...

As I'll explain in another podcast episode, I got rid of the DR-07 that I've had since 2009.  In this episode, I try to quieten the noise and wind coming into the microphones so I can have cleaner audio.   I met another Californian who moved here.  Much like the rest, it became too expensive to live where she was at and she wanted more.  Find out what she had to tell me.   I tuned my drums again....

You'll know by listening to the intro what this podcast is all about.  As of the typing of these show notes, my production computer suffered an unknown problem and unusable until more time is granted to me to diagnose the issue and eventually, fix it if possible.

In this episode of Everyday Tracks: Traction control system goes off when turning curves. Likely because the axle moves Still trying to catch up on homework Ripped the back soft window out of the Jeep. Speed limits in Tennessee are arbitrary.  I hate being penalized for knowing how to drive better than most. Vintage ads Part 2 of the police academy experience special feature
