I have the day off, in honor of MLK. I'll honor that by cleaning up around here and unpacking more boxes. It's 11 degrees outside, part of the three days of winter we'll have this year. So it's chilly, even inside as this dump has shitty windows and doors that don't seal. In my haste … Continue reading Where the Heat At?

We’re So Screwed
It's been a busy week, what with unpacking and setting up the new homestead. I will say it's a big improvement living in Plano. It's very quiet, there's a lot of cool stuff nearby and I haven't heard one loud exhaust or thumping sound system in over a week. The only Hemi Challenger I've seen … Continue reading We’re So Screwed
Welcome to 2024
Gonna be a great year, Tater. At least I think so. Could hardly be worse than 2023, that's for sure. Now that I'm setup in the new place, I can reflect on where I am and where I'm going. The house is closed, and gone, Money in the accounts. There is nothing tethering me to … Continue reading Welcome to 2024
Random Thoughts
It's been a week of settling in. The house is mostly set up, I just need to empty boxes. Do they bother cleaning rentals these days, before move in? Didn't really do that here. So I'm a bit sore. As I grow older, every ailment spawns a specialist. These doctors are fastidious about staying in … Continue reading Random Thoughts
Merry New Year!
So happy New Year. I spent the entire weekend moving. The movers were great. A bargain if you ask me. They showed up on time, and were done by lunch. Then I was on my own, more or less. My brother, his wife, and son showed up in the afternoon and hit the place like … Continue reading Merry New Year!

Today is moving day. As this posts, the movers are probably here. There really isn't much for them to move. There are tons of boxes, and the heavy stuff. I moved the garage and shed yesterday, mostly. Needless to say, my head is in a better place since I'm more prepared and there's a gameplan. … Continue reading Random Thoughts
Uh Oh…
I had a good friend call me on Christmas to catch up. He's missed me the last few times he's tried. He might try earlier in the evening, or not smack dab in the middle of a holiday. Timing's not his thing. He told me the wife (he's been married longer than I was) has … Continue reading Uh Oh…
The Zoomies
It was a decent holiday. It didn't work out like I had hoped. But I'll save that for another time. But something funny did happen over the weekend. Winston got a case of the Zoomies. The Zoomies is what happens when a dog gets so wired, they generally run around at top speed. If they … Continue reading The Zoomies
The Fourth Turning is Here
A Book Report I finally made it way through "The Fourth Turning is Here", by Neil Howe. I skipped most of the first half of the book because it was simply catching people up on what the original book was about. To recap; One of the most important concepts is that mankind does not progress … Continue reading The Fourth Turning is Here
Some Thoughts on Performative Goon Bullshit.
J.Kb had a great piece at gunfree zone the other day. It was about those that prep looking at the hole and forgetting the donut. Doodfuses running around with $15,000 worth of NODs but don’t have a fucking Harbor Freight tow strap to unstuck themselves from a snow drift. J.Kb I'm astonished at the number … Continue reading Some Thoughts on Performative Goon Bullshit.
