It's a big day. So I braved wally world this morning and picked up candy. Don't wanna get caught short here. I've done it in the past. Door knocks, I open up, and there's kids in costumes screaming "TRICK OR TREAT" as I stand there gape jawed that one, I forgot, and two I opened … Continue reading Happy Halloween

Forgot I had this.
I was looking over the stash of video I have and found this: https://vimeo.com/765137815 This is a video of Jasper finding his place in the pack. It's instructive. Look how he both challenges and submits. He's maybe 13 weeks old here. BTW, he was always faster than the other two, and he took advantage of … Continue reading Forgot I had this.
Where I Voated…
So I voted the other day. So what? Jeezis I'm a mean looking geezer. Today, It's been raining. It started before I got outta the shower. Aria was out, got rained on, then was "Fug this, I'mma done Tom Turkey" and has been in her crate nearly all day. I wish I could sleep the … Continue reading Where I Voated…
Will it Never End?
How long? How long, Oh Lord, must we endure? Endure Hillary, is what I'm saying. Just like Smaug, only a lizard instead of a dragon, Herself waddled out of the Lonely Mountain to blather on twitter about those evil right wing conspirators that will cheat, steal, and generally disenfanchise the holy ones in the upcoming … Continue reading Will it Never End?
Work Sharp
I'm a knife nut. I have a ritual before holidays, but often before cooking where I sharpen my knives. I use water stones to sharpen them, then a steel to finish them off. Some time ago, I got a Cuisinart pro sharpener. It had two grinder wheels - course and fine, and two hones, fine … Continue reading Work Sharp
I Smell a Rat
I was lifting weights in the garage and noticed some holes in a bag of dog food I'd left by my rack. More I studied, there were droppings around as well. Sure as hell, a rat had taken up residence again. Last one ended poorly for the bugger as Jasper flushed him out, and Jethro … Continue reading I Smell a Rat
FFS Just Get On With It
I love these car fixup channels on youtube. Mostly because that's how I got my rides, back in the day. I'd buy beaters almost exclusively. Even now, I have a modern beater - a 2011 Rav4. Sure, it's newer, and sort of shiny. But it didn't cost much and although it's low mileage, it's nearly … Continue reading FFS Just Get On With It
Where I hit an Estate Sale
I love estate sales. But you have to hit them early. Most have bullshit. All the crap one collects before you pull the croak chain and the kids have to clean out the house. I read a piece awhile back where the consignment shops were full, and it was tough to get rid of mom's … Continue reading Where I hit an Estate Sale
Up Yer Nose
A poster on socialgalactic is having issues with nosebleeds: As a kid, I had this all the time. I'd be sitting in class and my nose would unload, and off to the nurse I'd go. It seemed random when it happened. Eventually, my mom took me to the doctor. The good doctor taught me how … Continue reading Up Yer Nose
Odds & Ends
We had our first cold snap around here last night. It was supposed to get in the 30s, but when I let the dogs out early this morning, it was in the high 40s. Brisk. It was nice. I put on a pair of jeans for the first time since May. It's been in the … Continue reading Odds & Ends
