It's Saturday evening. Easter Saturday. And I'm spent, but not finished. Herself texted, thinking she'd get a break today. But it's not to be. Honestly, I didn't expect to see her until well after dark. Tax deadline is Monday, and I'm certain they are pushing through so they don't have to work tomorrow on Easter. … Continue reading Ready for Round #2

Spring has Sprung
Last week it was chilly. This week, BAM! spring. Here in North Texas, we get a few days of heat, then back to chilliness. Then, like a light switch, the heater is on. In the span of two weeks, the trees are busting out. One of the pear trees I planted last year. My fig, … Continue reading Spring has Sprung
Nexgrill 2
When we moved to the new house, I gave away my ancient Weber Genesis. It was a first generation that I used, and fixed since 1992. So I got 25 years out of it. Gave my smoker away as well. It was my second New Braunfels brand, and it sucked. Leaky as hell, it was … Continue reading Nexgrill 2
Jethro’s a Punk
Every night when it's time for bed, I say "Night Night" and the dogs go in their crate. If Jet's door isn't wide open, He'll stand there staring at it, wanting me to open the door. WTF! GO IN DUDE! So I open it wide and he saunters in. The other day, I went out … Continue reading Jethro’s a Punk
Last of a Dying Breed
Just when you think it can't get more stupid, something comes along to give you that sense of despair that, yup...it can always get worse. Phil at Busted Knuckles had a great piece the other day about a days worth of encounters where people just couldn't fix stuff and didn't even think to try. Worst … Continue reading Last of a Dying Breed
OK Groomer…
I think the line okay groomer is probably the funniest thing I've heard this year so far. And it's totally appropriate. I do a lot of volunteer work, and that means that I have to take safe environment training every year. It only takes about 20 minutes online to renew and some of the courses … Continue reading OK Groomer…
Friday Funnies
I have this personality thing where repetitive tasks start to be a burden. I also have been known to have attention issues. So I may swap out Fridays between funnies and guitars. You see, I've been building and repairing guitars for over a decade. I find broken children on eBay and fix them. Although, I'm … Continue reading Friday Funnies
OK Boomer…
What is it about old dudes that makes them think that everybody's interested in what they have to say? And can positively not whisper, even if they thought to not just blurt out stuff. I belong to a number of clubs and charitable organizations. Lot of these have old guys. Hell, I'm an old guy. … Continue reading OK Boomer…
I’m too old for this.
Last Friday we had a company-wide day off, called a "day of reflection". For what I’m supposed to be reflecting on I don’t remember, but I reflected on finally installing the tile floor in our sunroom. It’s a project that’s been looming heavy for some time. I want to say I’ve had the tiles almost … Continue reading I’m too old for this.
