To the Dark Side

Way back in the olden times, I was looking for a computer. I traveled quite a bit, so while I was out of town, I'd hit the apple store to see if I liked Macs. At one point I had a salesguy come up and ask if I needed help. I told him I was … Continue reading To the Dark Side →

For Whom the Bell Tolls

I found this on the Burning Platform: https://twitter.com/i/status/1745760948097327572 She records her...uh...Force Management Planning event. The piece itself is about being replaced by diversity. I don't understand that, really, since she's a semi-protected class, so to speak. I'll circle back to that. First off, everyone knows when a Day of the Long Knives is coming at … Continue reading For Whom the Bell Tolls →

Where the Heat At?

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! →

Random Thoughts

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 →
