Missed the 2026 DC Auto Show

-

 If you've followed any of my social or YouTube channel, you'd know that one of the highlights of my year is attending the Washington Auto Show every January. Well, during the one week the show was in town, we had a snowstorm, and it was an already busy week at work. I had the week planned perfectly, including a day to go to the eye doctor and then the car show. Unfortunately, I couldn't change everything around and ended up missing the show. So, the one sure video I make per year for YouTube won't be happening. 

 

Maire suggested attending another show, and I may, but the new car shows are different than a lot of other shows. I looked into the Philly auto show, and even the Chicago auto show, I never realized that they’re all clustered around the same time of year. The Philly show was only a week later so I couldn’t make that happen in time. Maybe I’ll get to Carlisle or just set a goal to attend a few different Cars & Coffee events. If you have any suggestions, I’d love to hear!

Welcome to a new decade!

 It's been a WHILE! The year, 2026. Gone are the blog days, and even vlog days, we are now in the thick of the "short form" era. At the start of this year there were online jokes that 2026 was going to be 2016 all over again. The mannequin challenge along with other memes and challenges of the time resurged for a little while. I brushed it off, but as I was looking through my Google Drive and came across this... I think I may embrace this. I think I'm going to bring back blogging for 2026! I'd love to bring back vlogging too, but being realistic, I just don't think I have the time to do all of that, although I do love it. So even though it's the end of Feb, welcome to 2026, the year of the BLOG!!

Coors Banquet, new decade, same shit

One of the things that’s made me laugh as I’ve come back to this blog and looked at some of the older posts, is how 10 years later, as much as things have changed, they’re also the same in a lot of ways. For instance, one of the posts that caught my eye was from May 11, 2016, I did a YouTube review of Coors Banquet beer back when I was trying to do a lot of beer reviews. What made me laugh is I had just picked up a 6 pack of it after not drinking it for YEARS, easily 2 or 3 years. I probably had these stashed away somewhere at that time, but I took pictures of them to send to my brothers.   My grandfather was a bit of a hoarder, and one of the things he collected was matchbooks. He had HUNDREDS if not thousands of them. Of course this was one of my favorites. The Coors branding has always seemed frozen in time to me, somewhere in the 70s or maybe early 80s. I look at that matchbook and think about what it must have felt like to spark up a Marlboro with these as you crack open a...
