I had high hopes this weekend of clearing out some of the old man hoard pile. My goal is to cut loose the workbench I never use and replace it with shelves. Maybe cut loose the drill press and bandsaw I haven't used in years. I'm getting over that old man "I may need this … Continue reading A bigger project than I thought

Every now and then I'll look over and realize I'm being studied by Winston. Aria rarely has these looks.
Living in a bubble
I listen to podcasts as I work. Usually Adam Carolla and Joe Rogan, but others. This week, Rogan had Michael Douglas. Looked like it could be a good interview and a break from the eggheads he's had on lately. I can only take so much alien talk. Turns out, it's not great. Old boy nattered … Continue reading Living in a bubble
New Shoes
My dog walking shoes when it's warm are my last pair of Saucony runners. Their light, comfy, and good on the feet. But wearing them ends, like it did the other day, when it gets cool out leaving dew on the grass ever morning. I don't like walking with wet feets, and the water soaking … Continue reading New Shoes
Rebirth
Last weekend I had the pups at the park. It was a stunningly beautiful morning. Crisp, with dew on the grass. Lots of stuff to sniff... The trails smelled of leaves that you smell in the fall. Lots of critters were out and about. Most of the summer, that grass was dead, brown with a … Continue reading Rebirth

Every time we're walking at the park, we need to play in the creek. Wouldn't be a big deal, but it's under the highway bridge, down a sandy embankment. Aria can take or leave it. Winston pulls like an OCD champion. It's a struggle to pull him away on days when the creek is low … Continue reading Gratuitous Dog Pic

That job is that you raise your kids to be the best they can be, better versions of you. You really can only give your kids a few things, among them unwavering love and support and the best education you can afford. Nichole Hannah-Jones is the SideShow Bob haired black woman that conjured up the … Continue reading You had one job
Getting Fit?
Normally this post at the beginning of the month would be a tale of triumph and gains. I've had one of those. I've lost a quite a bit of weight. How? Not eating. I've been sick for over two weeks, just this Monday starting to feel halfway decent. I go forever with not so much … Continue reading Getting Fit?
Those damn electric bikes
Divemedic beat me to it. Twice. Whatever happened to bicycles? I see kids blasting around my neighborhood all the time on electric bikes of some sort. These aren't the e-bikes, with the small motor. They are basically electric mini-bikes and dirt bikes. On my walks, I noticed one baby daddy of the year got the … Continue reading Those damn electric bikes

On the way to the park. Winston gets in the back and looks out the window. Aria steps up on the console and co-pilots. I velcroed carpet on the lid so she won't slide.
