Rode the big aluminum tube over to Europe today and read this on the plane.
Book I’m reading: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York
I’ve had this book on my nightstand for years and I’m finally reading it. The story of this guy and his accumulation of power of the years is absolutely amazing.
Book Completed: Artemis by Andy Weir
Book Completed: Mark Twain by Ron Chernow
Reading, reading, reading
I haven’t updated the book list lately but I am still reading. I picked up ‘Mark Twain’ by Ron Chernow. Loving the book but for me it’s another slow read.
I just received Ryan Holiday’s reading list for July and see a couple of more that I will add to the list shortly.
Ford Mustang – July 6, 2025
I FINALLY spent some time on the 1985 Mustang of late. I’ve assessed where I stand with parts, tools, etc. and have come to the conclusion that I have everything that I can reasonably identify to get started.
I then spent a day over the holiday cleaning the garage, sweeping, washing. All the good things that make a person feel better about the environment they are in. Looks good. Let’s get to work.
Still working on the book goal
What’s interesting, for me at least, about reading is that I can blast through some books in hours…and some not so much. Obviously that is related to the time available, the topic of the book, etc. I need to set aside some time a few times a week in the early evening to knock off a few pages rather than waiting until I hit the sack.
Regardless of that I’m reading 3 different books and will at least one finished shortly.
Book Completed: The Fate of the Day: The War for America, Fort Ticonderoga to Charleston, 1777-1780
This, as is the first book, “The British are Coming”, is fantastic. I’m always amazed at the intense struggle that both sides went through.
See the list of books here.
“I’m the champion”
Book Completed: Starship in the Stone by M.R. Forbes
As I was struggling with the biography of Robert E. Lee by Fitzhugh Lee I decided I needed a break and picked up this book.
Fun book, interesting concept. Give it a try.
