Dammit!

The other day, I replaced the starter in the truck. It was crapping out at the worse times. Saturday, I took the dogs to the park, came back, and decided to check out the farmer's market down the street that started it's season this month. It was kind of sparse. Still, I got some cookies … Continue reading Dammit! →

Papa will fix it – Truck edition

My truck had a starting problem Saturday when I was way north in Collin County. Ruined my whole day fretting about it. Turns out, it starts as long as the starter isn't hot from a long trip. The web says it's the starter, so I got a refurb one from O'Reilly. AutoZone was marginally cheaper, … Continue reading Papa will fix it – Truck edition →

Papa will fix it – Lawnmower edition

I procrastinate. That's putting it lightly. I've had this Troy-Bilt lawnmower since 2012. I got a deal at Lowes by picking up a refurb unit. It's been a great lawnmower. It basically is a Honda painted red. I think the Honda deck may be aluminum. This one is steel. Every year in the fall, I'd … Continue reading Papa will fix it – Lawnmower edition →

Fun A-Comin’

This is a sign on the top of the trail that I ride. There's a dumb warning under it. Something like be careful going down the hill. To me? That sign says "Bring It!" Not only is it a good downhill, it has twisties. So for a normal rider, maybe take 'er easy. Not me. … Continue reading Fun A-Comin’ →

Riding the pain train

Last week I was up in Virginia galavanting around. So, very little exercise. This week I'm back at it. Monday was super painful. I had a decent bike ride, making sure to take it easy. But later on when it was time to hit the weights, I suffered. I was sore before I even finished. … Continue reading Riding the pain train →

Everything I own…

...is covered in dog hair. Last Sunday, I had time on my hands, and that meant time to clean the inside of the monster truck. It was bad. Pretty bad. I was dreading this. That's probably why it's gotten like it was. Still, that's what shop vacs are for. This was the first time I've … Continue reading Everything I own… →

A walk in the park

I've been out of town for three weekends in a row. This is the first weekend in nearly a month that I've been home. It's also the first in over two years that I haven't been with the Girl. I found myself with time on my hands. I got back from DC Thursday, and had … Continue reading A walk in the park →
