The other day I decided to take a trip to Operation Kindness, a local no-kill shelter close by. I'd been surfing their site for some time and found a few likely candidates for a boyfren for Aria. I had two in mind. First up was Chai: What a sweet face! A year and a half … Continue reading Whelp…That went well.

Trouble with AI
Our VP is on the AI bandwagon, big time. I get it. We have a provider that is really a startup that's supposed to mash up content and spit out a training course. It works OK, provided you feed it right. The idea here is it'll inhale a technical doc - say an administration guide, … Continue reading Trouble with AI

The other day, I spilt iced tea in my car. I grabbed the cup wrong, the top popped off, and down it all went - on my leg, into the carpet. No biggie. It wasn't sweetened. Turns out, that doesn't matter. A day later, the car smelled like feet-stink. I thought it was the box … Continue reading Random Thoughts
You can call me “Captain”
About a year into our marriage, Herself and I bought a boat. A 28' SeaRay cabin cruiser. It weighed like three tons, and drafted 3.5 feet or so. Not trailerable, unless you had a dump truck to tow it. It needed a slip. So when we bought it, we quickly discovered slip rentals were by … Continue reading You can call me “Captain”
Gross
Apparently, "Sex and the City" is having a reboot. Eeew. I always thought the women on this, back in day, were gross. Sarah Jessica Parker has an intercontinental ballistic butterface, and Kim Cattrall was cute enough in the movie Mannequin. But then again, a Pontiac Fiero was also cute enough back in the day. Now … Continue reading Gross
Sandbridge, VA
Last week I headed up, back to the motherland. Virginia in this case, to Sandbridge. Sandbridge is a beach, some ways south of Virginia beach. Unlike the traditional beaches, this one is nearly all rental properties - no hotels, no motels, no camping. There's exactly one beach store/restaurant that looks like it could be on … Continue reading Sandbridge, VA
A piece of crap
Get a load of this: That is a Master Lock 178D combination lock, and a piece of shit. That lock is maybe two months old. I think it's rained here once, and the thing was seized up pretty good. I had to smack it a few times with a deadblow hammer for it to open … Continue reading A piece of crap
Zen and the Art of Spa Maintenance
Way back when there was only one TV in our house, If you didn't like what my mom was watching she'd tell you tough luck, go read a book. Which was fine. My dad had tons of books. I remember reading "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance". Can't tell you what it was about. … Continue reading Zen and the Art of Spa Maintenance
Random Thoughts
Running late this week. You'll see why in a minute. This is all that's wrong with North Dallas: New Mexico, this time. Always a blue state. Usually a luxury car. Always going -5 mph in the left lane. I tried to get some good ones for another shithead O' the week. All Day, every trip, … Continue reading Random Thoughts
Storyworth
Last year for Father's Day, My son got me a Storyworth account. Dude always gives the most thoughtful gifts. What happens then is you get a subject to write about every week. You can also add your own questions (I did). You don't have to write about every question sent. You can skip them. You … Continue reading Storyworth
