On My Drive HomeThe PaintingBack in March, I visited art exhibition highlighting the works of local artist Tiit Raid. I have always enjoyed visiting art galleries. However, for the first time in my life on that night in March, I experienced an unexpected, profound, and repeatable emotional response to one particular painting. In this episode, I share my experience along with a number other ramblings you have come to expect from me in this format. The title of the painting is: "Fall Creek: Late Afternoon II". Mentioned in the episode: Tiit Raid - A Retrospective2023-06-0719 minOn My Drive HomeOn Saying "No" to PickleballPickleball is one of the the most popular and fastest growing sports, and it seems I can't go a single day without meeting someone else I know that is now playing pickleball. Okay, that last part is hyperbole, but I know A LOT of people who are seriously into the sport. Many invitations have been extended my way to play. And though it looks like fun and seems to be a great sport, I have decided to take a pass for the time being. This is my why.2023-01-2119 minOn My Drive HomeFairy Tale Part 1: Revisiting King's Fantasy WorkWhen was the last time you bought a hardcover novel from an actual book store? If you had asked me that question a month ago, I would not have been able to answer. It's been a long, long time. But that has changed, and I'm now the proud owner of a brand new hardcover work of fiction: "Fairy Tale" by Stephen King. I have not read anything by Stephen King in decades as my taste for the horror genre went away in my early 20s. But with this release, Stephen wanders back into fantasy, and m...2023-01-1115 minOn My Drive HomeI Skipped Church to Watch SoccerIn an unprecedented event last weekend, I rearranged my Sunday morning schedule to stay home and watch the World Cup Final between Argentina and France.

A special thanks to my big brother Bob for the inspiration to record this episode. Merry Christmas!2022-12-2216 minOn My Drive HomeTesla Video #3 and World Cup Soccer ThoughtsIn this episode I primarily talk about my newfound interest in soccer as I have been watching and enjoying the World Cup over the last month. But before I jump in to soccer thoughts, I share quick udpate on my recent experiences testing Tesla's FSD Beta with my friend John. We got out for a drive over the weekend to record video #3 in the planned series. This time around, I was back behind the wheel for *MY* second FSD Beta experience, and we invited our friend Charlie to join us as a brave and adventurous back seat p...2022-12-1416 minOn My Drive HomeTesla Full Self-Driving (FSD) and Me: A RetrospectiveI had a fun experience recently when I got to drive (or more accurately, "be driven by") my good friend John's Tesla Model Y with Full Self-Driving. John has a YouTube channel focused on electric vehicles and invests a lot of time and energy into testing and reviewing Tesla's Full Self-Driving capabilities and performance. He set up his cameras, put me in the driver's seat, and captured my real-time reaction as I not only drove a Model Y for the first time but also let the Tesla do it's thing with FSD.

On My Drive HomeMy Apologies, L.J., Wherever You AreNearly 30 years ago, I had the opportunity to demonstrate great sales and marketing skills at a concert for one of my favorite musicians at the time, but my chops had not yet been developed. So, instead, I inadvertently offered a less than enthusiastic commentary about his most recent album release. After all this time has passed, I still wish I could have that moment back and say something else. This, my friends, is that story. Mentioned in the podcast: L.J. Booth (Spotify) Willy Porter "The Stranger" by Richard Dobson (Sp...2022-10-1313 minOn My Drive HomeNotion - You Need to Check Out This App!I have recently (re)discovered a fantastic note-taking app called Notion. To be fair, saying it's just for notes is something of an understatement. I'm testing it out as a replacement for Evernote which I have been using for years and like a lot. However, Notion just offers more interesting features and a fresh user experience that I am loving so far. In this episode, I share some of my very preliminary thoughts. Check out Notion for yourself here: https://www.notion.so/ Also mentioned: Ray Edwards Podcast: "A...2022-09-2314 minOn My Drive HomeThe Time I Thought I Still Had "It"About ten years ago, I was on a business trip in the Silicon Valley, and for about 15 seconds, I thought I still had "it". I didn't. Curious? Listen on for a fun and lightly self-deprecating story.2022-09-1508 minOn My Drive HomeLet's Stop Watering Our LawnsI guess this is the closest thing to environmental activism I have ever done. That is, recording my thoughts about what I consider to be one of the most wasteful uses of fresh water. But it is something that I find unnerving. Oh, and I include a driving PSA, as well. Enjoy!2022-09-0912 minOn My Drive HomeI Can't Relate to "Autumn Anxiety"Earlier this week, I saw an article on Medium.com titled: Do You Have Autumn Anxiety? What Causes Fall Freakouts and How to Manage Them. by Jennifer A. King This caught my attention as I love autumn, and I cannot identify whatsoever with the fall season creating anxiety. For me, autumn does the opposite. September through November are my favorite months of the year, and I feel invigorated, hopeful, and encouraged. So, naturally, I grabbed my Zoom recorder and starting talking about it. Also mentioned:...2022-08-1912 minOn My Drive HomeWill You (and I) Hunker Down or Captain the Ship?I was both convicted and inspired by something that Ray Edwards said in a recent episode of his podcast.

(Thoughts on customer service at the coffee shop.)When I walk through the doors of a local coffee shop - or any retail store, for that matter - I do not expect immediate service. I get it, people are busy, and it's hard to find a busier atmosphere than a coffee shop from 7:00am - 9:00am. However, I've noticed a recurring phenomenon where I feel completely invisible as a customer patiently waiting for help, and that doesn't make sense to me. In this episode, I share some thoughts on my recent (and ongoing) experience with what I consider a very-easy-to-fix customer service issue.2022-08-1110 minOn My Drive HomeTemporary ShoplifterFor a brief period of time last week, I was a shoplifter on the run. To be fair, it was an accident, and as soon as I realized what I had done, I fixed the situation. This is my story.2022-06-0709 minOn My Drive HomeReading Inspires MeI realized a while back that I often get inspired to record podcast episodes after starting a new book. I was reminded of this after listening to episode 67 of Jon Acuff's "All It Takes Is A Goal" podcast: "How to read 100 books in a year". And so, after more than three months of inactivity, I'm here to share my thoughts about how reading inspires me. I specifically talk about: Episode 67 of Jon Acuff's podcast My new read, "Hero on a Mission" by Donald Miller "The Earned Life" by Marshall Goldsmith Also briefly mentioned...2022-05-1714 minOn My Drive HomeThank You, Mr. BoldenI was very fortunate to have a number of excellent and caring educators as a child and in my college years. I don't know what brought him to mind, but I was recently thinking about one of my third grade teachers, Mr. Bolden. In this episode, I share a couple of short stories about him that I am pleased have remained etched in my brain all these years later. Thank you, Mr. Bolden.2022-02-0110 minOn My Drive HomeThis Jay's No DJI only had a short window to capture this episode, so I thought I'd use it to share a brief update on my DJing hobby exploration. As you may have already gleaned from the title, I decided to hang-up the jog wheels for now. It was a fun diversion, but I don't think it's really a fit for me. I have a lot of thoughts and stories I want to share in 2022, so let's get this thing going again! Happy New Year!2022-01-1105 minOn My Drive HomeHobby Jumping Engaged: My DJ Journey (LFC)My inner serial hobby jumper has been somewhat dormant recently, but I think I have found the next thing I want to investigate: learning how to DJ. The world of professional DJing is flush with all kinds of new learning opportunities related to gear, software, technique, music curation, entertainment, event management, and more! For me, the fusion of technology, music, and entertainment creates a potential feast of fun and learning that's just too tempting to pass up. In this episode, I share what led to me deciding to check out the whole DJ...2021-11-0228 minOn My Drive HomeLofty PursuitsIn this episode, I share my recently-found enthusiasm for a YouTube channel and podcast produced by the owner of Lofty Pursuits and Public Displays of Confection, a candy store and much more in Florida. Greg, the owner and host, creates fun and interesting videos on their YouTube channel, and I love the style and content of the Lofty Pursuits Podcast, as well. So, on *this* drive home, I'll share a few more details about how I discovered this stuff and why I enjoy it so much. I'm hopi...2021-10-2917 minOn My Drive Home"Cool Shoes, Man!"I was publicly and enthusiastically complimented on my shoes by two different young gents this week. In both cases, the accolades came as somewhat of a surprise given the source and situational conditions. However, it was enough to inspire this episode where I share just a bit about my...well, shoe problem. Or maybe it's a gift? I'll let you decide.2021-10-2113 minOn My Drive HomeGirl You Know It's True! (I Know Milli Vanilli Lyrics)Why did I decide to turn my Spotify dial to Milli Vanilli? Great question. But I did. And I remembered all of the lyrics! That took me by surprise. This experience and a few other thoughts during this very short On My Drive Home episode. Happy October! 2021-10-0607 minOn My Drive HomeA More Relaxing ReadI unexpectedly rediscovered reading magazines this summer thanks to the subscription that accompanied my new Experimental Aircraft Association membership. I really enjoy it! As a result, I've (mostly) leaned into magazines and a book as the go-to sources for my morning reading over breakfast, and I find that it makes for a much more relaxing start to my day. In this episode, I share my thoughts for why I think this new habit is more relaxing than engaging with my iPhone as I sip my morning coffee. Mentioned: "Adorning the Dark" by Andrew Peterson EAA Sport Aviation Magazine 2021-09-0115 minOn My Drive HomeImmediately Liking SongsThere have been a handful of memorable times in my music listening history when I heard a song for the very first time and *IMMEDIATELY* liked it. When I say "immediately", I mean within the first few bars of the song. It is a rare experience, and I have to ask: Why? What is it that catches me off-guard, stops my brain, and engages me in such a unique way? I have wondered this about music over the years, and I'm curious if there's any hidden pattern to these specific occurrences. In this...2021-08-2717 minOn My Drive HomeAlternative Cuss WordsMy father rarely swore. But when he did, it was passed through the language cleansing translator in his brain and delivered as a common, benign word that still communicated the intensity of his emotions. In short, he used Alternative Cuss Words. In this episode, I introduce the concept of Alternative Cuss Words and share some of the more common examples my dad often used when I was growing up. I also share some of the other unique Dad Sayings from both my dad and my father-in-law. Did your family have their own vernacular for replacing foul language? Most families did. And...2021-08-1813 minOn My Drive HomeFor the Love of Local Hardware StoresI'm a huge fan of small, local hardware stores. And for most of the last 20 years, I have had the great fortune of living within a few minutes of a small neighborhood hardware shop. In this episode, I share why I think they are so great and tell a short story (that I spontaneously recalled) about how sweeping compound nearly closed the personal space gap between me and another shop patron I had never met.

Duluth Air and Aviation Expo: https://duluthairshow.com/ 2021-06-2818 minOn My Drive HomeFinding That Which InspiresI'm currently on my second pass through the book "Soundtracks" by Jon Acuff. I remixed one of his soundtracks, "Writers Write", to "Podcasters Podcast" and that became the catalyst to fire up my recorder and capture a new episode. Jon's books are fantastic, and I highly recommend grabbing a copy of "Soundtracks" for yourself! In addition to my thoughts on my new soundtrack, I also talk a bit about my cycling vs. lawn care dilemma, and I share an Apple Watch update. Spoiler Alert: I bought one. And it's great.

It was never a hit, and few people would likely have ever even heard of it. But I knew it because it was the B-Side of the 45 single "Pressure" released by Billy Joel from his "Nylon Curtain" album. It got me to thinking about the songs I discovered and learned to like just because they were on the other side of the record from the song I initially cared about. In this episode, I muse a bit about my memories of...2021-02-0613 minOn My Drive HomeAngry, but Not Rude: A Lesson I Learned from My Friend RichYears ago, I learned a great technique for managing my anger when dealing with very frustrating situations - especially when it requires interacting with other people. I learned this valuable lesson somewhat by accident as I listened to how my good friend Rich handled a thorny travel situation as he held his phone off to the side with me on the other end. I don't think that I ever told Rich about the lesson he didn't know he was teaching. But it has stuck with me and been a handy tool when I want to be sure I manage myself w...2021-02-0309 minOn My Drive HomeTurning A Thrift Store Jacket Into A Custom Bike BagOver the holidays, I decided to try my hand at making a custom frame bag for my fat bike. It was a fun project and great way to spend a day between Christmas and New Years. Rather than purchasing new fabric, zippers, and all the other bobbles necessary to construct the bag, I decided to repurpose an old Columbia winter jacket that picked up at a local thrift store for only $11. The idea was inspired by my friend Josh who make custom bike bags of various shapes and sizes with his small business The Nxrth. I was also influenced by thi...2021-01-2915 minOn My Drive HomeA Wrench in the Quick Eats SystemIn an effort to be somewhat environmentally conscious and serve my desire for drive and eat convenience, I once tried asking for something out of the ordinary at a local fast food chain and threw a wrench into the whole system. Not long after that experience, I tried it again at a different establishment and experienced the briefest moment of cosmic connection and understanding. Lesson learned? Some systems are optimized for conformity; others are not.2021-01-2308 minOn My Drive HomeMissing the Point in Customer ServiceA few years ago, I tried calling an upstart organic foods company to give them a compliment.

But before we bought that one, we did not buy another one. This is the story of the other one. You'll understand why. Oh, I also mentioned the Meta Minute concept again not realizing that I already released my first Meta Minute episode in December. Ha! Oh well, these things are often stream of consciousness, and sometimes these kinds of things will happen.

I have wanted a fat bike so I could start winter mountain biking for at least five years. But every year, I have seemed to find other ways to prioritize my spending or just couldn’t convince myself it made sense. But last weekend, the murky clouds in the overcast sky of another non-cycling winter season parted, and glorious rays of sunshine shone down upon me and led me to the fat bike sale post I have been waiting for all this time!

In this episode, I talk a little bit about why I love being a Serial Hobby Jumper and then share the insights I had about myself and my apparent lack of interest in 3D printing as a hobby.
