Spring is Springing, and a Lazy Dawg

It’s the middle of February, and is still pretty damn cold. But I got my seeds into pots. This time I didn’t order any actual plants, because the plants I ordered from Burpee last year arrived kind of peeked and weren’t really any better than the ones I planted myself. Yesterday I came came into … Continue reading Spring is Springing, and a Lazy Dawg →

Papa Will Fix the Lamp

Herself bought a lamp some time ago, and it sat for awhile before I got around to it. The problem was pretty simple. It had an old style bakelite socket, which the threads wore off and it would flop around. Easy enought, go get a socket and screw it one. So I went to Ace … Continue reading Papa Will Fix the Lamp →

RTFM

We have both a gate, and a garage door openers. They really are handy. Pull up, mash the first button, the gate opens. Mash the second one, the garage opens. Keeps the cars, and everything else, away from Goblins. But, they have remotes. And remotes get lost. More accurately, we leave them in the car … Continue reading RTFM →

Shoot Me

I'm in a class all this week. Not teaching it. Learning it. It's the same package I'm being tasked to support that tormented me whilst trying to learn it on my own. Turns out, we had the same issues in class, and found the same solution I found, which is the class images are old, … Continue reading Shoot Me →

We Don’t Deserve them

Every morning after our walk, the pups play for a solid 15-20 minutes. As long as I'm outside doing morning chores, they are following me around. https://vimeo.com/794689907

Drying Things Out

I got a food dehydrator not long ago. I wanted a decent one. Not a cheap plastic thing with a lightbulb. I've used it a fair bit, making jerky and drying fruits and herbs. You get a chunk of beef on sale, and you can make jerky for a fraction of the cost. Last week, … Continue reading Drying Things Out →

End of a Long Week

Had a lot of screen time this week, what with the ice and whatnot. Tax season is ramping up and just as Herself would be in the office late, she's here working. Which the dogs loved. They'll lay around all day and get super animated when she comes home. This week, Jethro has been posted … Continue reading End of a Long Week →

Things that hit my funny bone

This morning I was slow to get going and found some funnies at the Bitter Centurian. I think I've said about half of those in real life. #1 and #10 for sure, multiple times. He had a piece on Bill Gates The funnybone quote: “At the end of the day, I’ll be the one who’s … Continue reading Things that hit my funny bone →

Welcome to Planet Real World

We're having a bit of a Tech meltdown. I've seen this one before. Got the t-shirt. Been my third, at least. What's different about this one is the sheer number of spoiled tech workers. I've seen videos from Twitter and Google employees. This is the latest one I've seen: https://youtu.be/7sGBLFi_WCI The Twitter one was nearly … Continue reading Welcome to Planet Real World →

Scenes from IceApocalypse 2023

We had a 'wintry mix' last two days. Which was really ice and rain. I was telling my collegues that the white stuff you see isn't snow. It's ice, not unlike the 'snow' that's made at a ski resort. Then it rained on top and froze, as it does about once a year here. BTW, … Continue reading Scenes from IceApocalypse 2023 →
