I played a video of a tiny puppy crying while Winston was in my office. https://vimeo.com/978405855?share=copy

Be at Peace
Duane here had a piece on peace: https://youtu.be/9qHfApAxiKU?si=kac9j3PcoKAHcgQT Really timely advice, for me at least. He has three steps: Create boundaries for your peace. Don't let those in that would disturb it, if they get in, put them out. Simple. Stay away from poisonous people. Don't wring the dogs ears. His line, analogous to "let … Continue reading Be at Peace
Happy Independence Day
Celebrate it whilst you can, I suppose. What would the founding fathers think of the evil simpletons running the joint these days? What would they think of that debate? What an embarrassing spectacle. This has been a week of gaslighting and excuses trying to tell us we didn't see what we saw and it's no … Continue reading Happy Independence Day
Getting Fit
I tipped the scales at 192 this month. Not bad. -2 lbs from last month, not as light as a few months ago, but in the ballpark for the last four months or so. We'll see. I've been eating out more lately, most of it social. But I've also changed up my workouts. I'm at … Continue reading Getting Fit
Ride Report: Wimberly TX
It's been a minute since I've been to Wimberly Texas. The boy and I were trying to think of a way to have a motorcycle road trip and I came up with Wimberly. So we did some planning and found that we could do a 'dot city' route to go check it out. Dot cities … Continue reading Ride Report: Wimberly TX
Fear of God
Duane here has an interesting video on the fear of God: https://youtu.be/OT9FGK4Q6Sg?si=Je5xTmjOZ8p8lgNs This one is a bit longer than typical and brings up something that was on the back of my mind. He makes a pretty good correlation that this should be the fear that you'd disappoint, or offend your father, as opposed to the … Continue reading Fear of God
Updates
I've been off this week, so far. I had plans. Big plans. That all got shot, mostly. I had two things at this dump of a house that I wanted to fix - re-grout some of the shower, because it was done poorly and it was nasty and replace a valve under the sink in … Continue reading Updates
Gratuitous Dog Pic
You can tell what the commotion is about by the Aria's bark and where Winston ends up. This is to stare down the interloper dog being walked in front. Winston has a great growl. But he doesn't have that deep bass "I'll eat your soul" bark that Jethro had.
End of an Era
Looks like gun free zone is closing its doors. A line was crossed. This is a shame because it's one of my daily reads. Or rather, daily scans. When I first found it, it was really good. A lot of good advice on guns and shooting, good perspectives on the news, that sort of thing. … Continue reading End of an Era
Happy Junteenth
How's your Junteenth thus far? This would've been better left as a Texas holiday, since all that is being celebrated is the last remnants of slaves being freed well after all the others were. Meh. Yet another reason to take a holiday. My only memory of it is when I got a job managing local … Continue reading Happy Junteenth
