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… →

I'm sitting here smarting after an upper endoscopy today. There's good news and bad news. Good news is there wasn't anything really horrible like a tumor. Bad news, my throat and upper esophagus is scarred and 'hard' with scar tissue from cancer therapy. That won't go away. Ever. So I have that going for me, … Continue reading Random Thoughts →

Missing Jethro

Last night, a little after 1AM, a dude rang my doorbell. I thought I was dreaming. So I went out to look. Yup. Dude standing there in the dark. Screw this I thought, and wondered if I should ignore him or grab my .44 and say hello. He appeared to be an AC tech. Maybe … Continue reading Missing Jethro →

Getting Fit

As I've been being scrupulous about my diet and exercise, I weigh in every month. This week I'm 215 and change. That's 60 lbs from a year ago or so, and 10 under my goal. Why not keep it up? I've increased the length of my 3x weekly bike rides, and I run sprints 2x … Continue reading Getting Fit →

Ready to Sail

Cleaned up the Kayak, best I could. Those two holes behind the seat are fishing pole holders. It also came with a pack accessory for the back. I figured that I wasn't going to bust my ass trying to remove the insulation residue in the cargo space. The only thing that would do it is … Continue reading Ready to Sail →

Winston Update

It's been a great weekend with the new pup. He's getting along with Aria. My son, daughter, and her husband came over last night and he did well with them. He let out a small bark with my son, but then got with the program. That's the only time I've heard him bark. When Aria … Continue reading Winston Update →
