Last Friday I headed out to meet some friends in Fort Worth to check out the rodeo. I left early so I'd have some hangout time. This is the first time I've been to Fort Worth since I moved, and first time to the stockyards. First off, Fort Worth is way more happening than Dallas. … Continue reading Going to a Rodeo.

The Cover is Better
This song popped up on my youtube feed. I originally heard Marcus King's version. He's sitting in Carter's Vintage guiatr shop playing a seriously antique Fender Broadcaster which blends with the tone of his voice perfectly. I was looking to see it's original version and found it. Here's the original: https://youtu.be/Uyuub51sPCM Sounds a little cheery, … Continue reading The Cover is Better
Range Report
I need help. I try to go shooting a few times a month. If I go once, I've made my membership fee back. It doesn't take long to bust off $50 worth of ammo. Lately, I've gone in the early afternoon on my days off. I really can't stand the doofus that does check in. … Continue reading Range Report
Book Report: How to not die in prison
Well, our pal Karmelo Anthony was in the news this week. Turns out his new hotrod legal team got a new judge to decide whether or not there'll be an appeal accepted. Apparently there were raycisms. I don't get how they can say there were no black jurors. There were blacks in the pool. Why … Continue reading Book Report: How to not die in prison

They also had a helpful guide - Work outside for 15 minutes, then rest in the shade for 45. Something like that. Whatever. My dumb … Continue reading It’s Stinkin’ HOT
Johnny can’t read…Still
Chulrins getting promoted to grades without being able to read is an old story. Still, I heard this on the morning radio: https://twitter.com/TPostMillennial/status/2087941561388527867 These are seniors. Yet somehow they can't write down something that is given to them. There are a few reasons for this. One of them involves a bell curve. The other is … Continue reading Johnny can’t read…Still
Gratuitous Dog Pic
I wind up with tons of pics of Winston. It's because he's always with me. Aria will be on my bed, or in my office and I have tons of shots of her in both places.
On the Bench
This week, we had a coworker take one for the team and ask for a package. She was done. Time to retire and do something else. Why not go out with a little more cash? Turns out, we have another dude going as well, this one a pay grade above me. He was invited to … Continue reading On the Bench
About the dumbest thing I’ve seen
Found this on the thread about my company at thelayoff.com Why in all the name of what's holy would you surf sites like these, or any non business site on your company provided machine? Naughty sites? Really? Back in the day when I was a network engineer, we had exception alerts running and pulled reports … Continue reading About the dumbest thing I’ve seen
