Welcome to Adventures with Phil v2.0

So what is/was Adventures with Phil and where did "Step it up a notch" come from? Well, I used to do Adventures with Phil e-mail updates to let everyone know about the happenings in my life. If you're wondering, I originally got the name idea from the Red Green show, where there's a segment called Adventures with Bill.
Now, where did "Step it up a notch" come from? Before I go into that, there's something else I want to say. Even though "Step it up a notch" was hilariously funny in its original context, and the 20 or so of us who were there will definitely remember it as such, I am finding it is becoming more than just something I say; it's like a life motto, like the one the Three Musketeers had.
As I think about the words "step it up a notch", what comes to mind is the idea of doing more/going the extra mile, which also brings to mind Jesus' teaching in Matt 5:38-42. For me, applying step it up a notch means going deeper with God, building stronger family relationships and recognizing that I have the ability to reach out to help someone in need, no matter what the need is.
This section is getting too long so please make your way to the sidebar to find the origin of the phrase "step it up a notch".

My car is rockin'...

... to the tune of 54 mpg (4.36L/100km), booya! Take that Prius hybrid (supposedly the most fuel efficient car available: rated at 48mpg or 5.1L/100km). If I can pull off this kind of fuel efficiency with my regular driving style, just imagine what kind of numbers I can roll in if I actually tried this thing called hypermiling.

Anyways, I can't believe May is almost over, it's gone by way too fast. So I'm currently working at Totem Building Supplies while I continue my search for engineering work. Someone in marketing or whoever sets the price obviously failed grade 3 math. Why would anyone buy one of these:
(a 2 pack of BBQ lighters)



















when you can buy 3 of these for less?
