Winston Update

Well. The boy don't like bathing: It was a struggle getting him in the tub. Actually, it was a struggle getting him in the room. Whole lotta "Nope, nope nope...." Had to shove him by his butt. Should've had him go to the low-boy stall that I used to bathe Jethro. Next time. The adoption … Continue reading Winston Update →

Beorn is dying. Absolutely heartbreaking. Dusty in here... Is it SAFE? AWA at Gunfree zone covers first aid kits, when to rotate stuff. Aesop has an encyclopedia of this stuff. Start here. I need to refresh my kits both in the car and in the garage. I have a massive kit in my pantry closet … Continue reading Random Thoughts →

What a Waste

I was surfing YouTube the other day and happened upon Jay Leno's Garage. It's really up my alley. 1/2 hour videos looking at cool cars. Perfect for when I'm eating lunch. First video I saw was this: https://youtu.be/Oqqv7NCAklo?si=jbAfMolwo9rOSLPx No idea what it costs but it's probably stupidly expensive. So it's a rebuilt and improved Landrover … Continue reading What a Waste →

Screamin’ for Ice Cream

We all scream for ice cream, right? Zman had a piece on his subscribestar account about making ice cream, of all things. It turns out that you have to be a moron to screw up ice cream making. The first try resulted in the best thing I have had since I was a kid. The … Continue reading Screamin’ for Ice Cream →

Busy week. Lot of work. I feel like I'm in the IT equivalent of having to peel a dump truck full of potatoes. Very tedious. We really are entering an age of stupidity and competence. Found this at GunFreeZone: How in the name of Zeus’ wrinkled ball-sack, do you raise a child who does not … Continue reading Random Thoughts →

Winston Update

When I got Winston, they told me it would be a week or two for him to warm up. He had issues, and was I OK with that. What issues? Dude's been my boy since the afternoon he came here. Under his eye always. He's learned not to circle behind me when walking, not to … Continue reading Winston Update →

It's back. It's really back. Behold: See it? Look harder... Four people, looked like a family, in what appeared to be an electric car (I may be wrong) All wearing masks. Good lord it's back. The crazies have masked up. I see them all over now. And one of the ushers epitomized how they go … Continue reading Random Thoughts →

What’s a Wet End?

I tend to procrastinate. What happens is that when I see something that needs doing, I'll get the parts, then drag my feet getting the job done. Usually these wind up going easy, making me wonder why I didn't just do it when I should have in the first place. It was that way with … Continue reading What’s a Wet End? →

Homey Gets a Bath

Winston got his official collar today. That shot cost me a belly rub You can tell he was a stray, or even abused. He's real squirrely when you are trying to put a collar on him. Although, he's getting better since he now associates the leash with something fun, like walks and trips to the … Continue reading Homey Gets a Bath →

And So It Begins…

I signed off my divorce decree this evening. I have mixed emotions about it. I may or may not have anything to say about it in the future. To be honest, what I feel now is mostly pain. I had an upper GI endoscopy where they stretched my throat and esophagus. The damage from radiation … Continue reading And So It Begins… →
