Getting Fit

Now that the Texas blast furnace is over for the season, working out has become a pleasure. It really is nice to finish a run or bike ride without the flop sweats. So now my attention is turning back to diet, especially since the holiday season is upon us. I spend a lot of time … Continue reading Getting Fit →

Jethro loved water. If there was a creek to explore, he'd wind up in it.

The Dark Night

Mother Theresa endured what she called as the Dark Night of the soul. Where she felt as if God abandoned her. Seems hard to believe, seeing how she was. A lot of critics used that as a weapon to mock her. But we all go through these dark periods. Even me. Lately it's like a … Continue reading The Dark Night →

What’s This?

Something new has been added! Hit the trail yesterday and there was a spanking brand new line down the center. Interesting move. And it appears to have worked. Everyone stayed in their lane, more or less. The only time I found someone in the way was when they were trying to pass someone on the … Continue reading What’s This? →

Guitar Work

Back in the day, you could search Ebay for "guitar project" and come up with some great deals. The best ones that I found were old Ovations. These things were the mutts nuts back when I was learning to play. You'd see every start on TV playing them - Jim Croce, Glen Campbell, name it. … Continue reading Guitar Work →

Fashion Woes

I have a plan to up my fashion game for the fall, which I'm mostly done. I donated all the old clothes that no longer fit, and started buying new ones. I bought two new sport coats, grey tweed, and blue. I thought I'd get my black one tailored to fit, but when I took … Continue reading Fashion Woes →

Dinner time. Interesting that they don't do this to me when I'm cooking. They were underfoot. So the Girl told them to beat it. So they go to the edge of the kitchen to watch.

EDC Woes

My EDC knife is a Kersaw leek: I actually have three of these on rotation. The black one you see here, a green one, and a silver one. Why? Because I lose them from time to time, I replace them, then they reappear. Usually under a couch or my truck seats. The current one that's … Continue reading EDC Woes →

Aria’s Big Visit

Last Friday, I brought the old girl to the vet for her yearly visit. She's lost two pounds, which the vet was happy about. She also admired Aria's lady curves. She's a sharp looking dog. Weight control is easy with her. She rarely eats her whole breakfast, and sometimes doesn't eat it at all. She … Continue reading Aria’s Big Visit →

Getting Fit

Another month, another weigh in. Same as always. I've been hovering at 200 for months now. I'm thinking the bulk of it is in my legs and shoulders. Now that it's cold, I've been wearing jeans. The same jeans that were loose on me at 185 fit the same at 200. I'd lean up if … Continue reading Getting Fit →
