No Kings, My Ass

Saturday is the 'big' no kings protest, where the assorted fruits, nuts, berries, and professional malcontents will let their TDS all hang out, hooting and hollering nitwittery. Honestly, I forgot about this. It's not a thing around here. As a matter of fact, when I sized up the map, the closest one to me would … Continue reading No Kings, My Ass →

Life Finds a Way

Saw this whilst walking the dogs. Cracked me up: The prettier bunch of flowers busted through the crack in the curb, and is growing in a pile of curb detris. Wish my plants were so motivated.

Moving Slow

Monday was a holiday. A badly needed one for me. You see, I'm rarely home on the weekends. So if I can't do housework in the evenings I have free, it doesn't get done. The last few weeks, I've been busy every weeknight. So the house was a mess. So was the monster truck. So … Continue reading Moving Slow →

Baby Jethro. Man, cuteness overdose!

What’s Worse?

I was chatting with my sister the other day, catching up, and she said something funny that resonated. "At least you've been through the worst, cancer. I said cancer wasn't the worst thing, For me, divorce was far, far worse. Cancer I was diagnosed with throat cancer. When that happened, all sorts of wheels started … Continue reading What’s Worse? →

As if…

...I needed another hobby. Behold: That there is a laser cutting/engraving tool. I'm still figuring out the software. The control software came with it. The design software is going to set me back another Benjamin. At least it's a perpetual license. I'll look and see if there's Linux freeware. I'm sure there is. I have … Continue reading As if… →

Getting Fit

It's a new month, a new weigh in. I'm at 200. Where I've been for months, mas o menos*. Doesn't matter what I do, my weight doesn't vary more than a pound either way. I'm not all that hung up on it. I've had a great run lifting, and am seeing some serious changes in … Continue reading Getting Fit →

Jet with my oldest when we were in Broken Bow OK. She took him out for a walk and came back with one of the funniest lines I've heard: "Hey! You didn't tell me he takes big ol' man shits!"

The CDL Dilemma

First, there was the Indian fool that did an illegal u-turn, killing three. Dude didn't speak English, and never should've been issued a Commercial Driver License (CDL) whatsoever. Then, in Oklahoma they arrested 130 drivers in conjunction with ICE, and wound up with this gem: He should have used the proper "illegal alien," but otherwise, … Continue reading The CDL Dilemma →

Snap Together Culture

I get plastic. I get connectorization. Some of these things make sense, like in electronics. Connectors make it so you can repair parts quickly. De-soldering and soldering is a pain in the ass. Also makes the install process faster. Time equals money, after all. You see it now in plumbing. The water filter for my … Continue reading Snap Together Culture →
