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 →

Last of a Dying Breed

Just when you think it can't get more stupid, something comes along to give you that sense of despair that, yup...it can always get worse. Phil at Busted Knuckles had a great piece the other day about a days worth of encounters where people just couldn't fix stuff and didn't even think to try. Worst … Continue reading Last of a Dying Breed →

OK Groomer…

I think the line okay groomer is probably the funniest thing I've heard this year so far. And it's totally appropriate. I do a lot of volunteer work, and that means that I have to take safe environment training every year. It only takes about 20 minutes online to renew and some of the courses … Continue reading OK Groomer… →

Friday Funnies

I have this personality thing where repetitive tasks start to be a burden. I also have been known to have attention issues. So I may swap out Fridays between funnies and guitars. You see, I've been building and repairing guitars for over a decade. I find broken children on eBay and fix them. Although, I'm … Continue reading Friday Funnies →

OK Boomer…

What is it about old dudes that makes them think that everybody's interested in what they have to say? And can positively not whisper, even if they thought to not just blurt out stuff. I belong to a number of clubs and charitable organizations. Lot of these have old guys. Hell, I'm an old guy. … Continue reading OK Boomer… →

I’m too old for this.

Last Friday we had a company-wide day off, called a "day of reflection". For what I’m supposed to be reflecting on I don’t remember, but I reflected on finally installing the tile floor in our sunroom. It’s a project that’s been looming heavy for some time. I want to say I’ve had the tiles almost … Continue reading I’m too old for this. →

Friday Song of the Week

I thought I'd take a break from funnies and do a song this week. Being a guitar player, Mark Knopfler is my hero. Not only does he play in a league that no one exists, he writes songs that actually have some sort of meaning. To Wit: https://youtu.be/Y1gXPD2ruQU Amazing. [Verse 1]Yon's my privateerSee how trim … Continue reading Friday Song of the Week →

Don’t Answer the Door

Don't answer the door. Never answer the door. I have a cameras that enable me to not answer the door. What did I do? I answered the door. Just like this: https://vimeo.com/551250163 Except that guy left. This time, a dude rocked up and I ignored him. Then he came up with another dude a few … Continue reading Don’t Answer the Door →

I’m Calling BS

There is a story hitting the blogosphere last week about the 16-year-old kid being handed a paper with the rules on the first day of work. These rules: I'm calling BS. The story started on boredpanda.com and I'm guessing it was made up thing to get people squawking. This basically was an email chain thing … Continue reading I’m Calling BS →

Home Depot Steps in It

This is something that's been making the rounds all last week. I first heard about it while listening to the morning show here in DFW and simply shrugged my shoulders. Big corporate entities with have diversity finishes by and large. But I finally got my mitts on one, and it reads even dumber than it … Continue reading Home Depot Steps in It →
