https://youtu.be/Oo9buo9Mtos No lamentations here. What is best? Today? Sitting here having a cold beer, looking at my freshly mowed lawn. The sense of satisfaction is great. You know what's next? When it's raining, tomorrow or Sunday, sitting in my sunroom, having an adult beverage, listening to the rain falling on a freshly mowed lawn. This … Continue reading What is Best in Life?

Let Papa Fix It
Now that I'm done the floor, I have a stack of projects around here to do. And what better thing than to post these on a weekly basis. I found this on Kenny's site, I think: Damn straight. Not enough of this happening these days. BTW - This is what my son went through and … Continue reading Let Papa Fix It
Tormenting the Dogs
https://vimeo.com/700115041 Ok. I can't sing. Dude is tired from his big day. But then I ran Jethro out of the kitchen. He wasn't as tired and wanted nothing to do with my bullshit. BTW, For some comparison, here's a live performance of the song by the Seldom Scene, now as greybeards: https://youtu.be/HDSgLdkiOso Ok. The old … Continue reading Tormenting the Dogs
I am old, But I’m happy.
If you have a son, this song absolutely resonates. https://youtu.be/iolunbBnWx0 Ok. I'm a guitar geek. Cat Stevens is playing a wonderful Gibson Hummingbird. Man, If I had the expendable dough I'd buy one. But the lead guitar dude is playing who knows what, probably a Taylor knock-off. Sounds horrible. This one is better. https://youtu.be/ydebNPlzXHw Would've … Continue reading I am old, But I’m happy.
He has Risen
https://youtu.be/G_x-HM7lroA This song means Easter. And I didn't pick it because they are Ukrainian. I picked it because it was the best.
Ready for Round #2
It's Saturday evening. Easter Saturday. And I'm spent, but not finished. Herself texted, thinking she'd get a break today. But it's not to be. Honestly, I didn't expect to see her until well after dark. Tax deadline is Monday, and I'm certain they are pushing through so they don't have to work tomorrow on Easter. … Continue reading Ready for Round #2

Spring has Sprung
Last week it was chilly. This week, BAM! spring. Here in North Texas, we get a few days of heat, then back to chilliness. Then, like a light switch, the heater is on. In the span of two weeks, the trees are busting out. One of the pear trees I planted last year. My fig, … Continue reading Spring has Sprung
Nexgrill 2
When we moved to the new house, I gave away my ancient Weber Genesis. It was a first generation that I used, and fixed since 1992. So I got 25 years out of it. Gave my smoker away as well. It was my second New Braunfels brand, and it sucked. Leaky as hell, it was … Continue reading Nexgrill 2
Jethro’s a Punk
Every night when it's time for bed, I say "Night Night" and the dogs go in their crate. If Jet's door isn't wide open, He'll stand there staring at it, wanting me to open the door. WTF! GO IN DUDE! So I open it wide and he saunters in. The other day, I went out … Continue reading Jethro’s a Punk
