The other day, I replaced the starter in the truck. It was crapping out at the worse times. Saturday, I took the dogs to the park, came back, and decided to check out the farmer's market down the street that started it's season this month. It was kind of sparse. Still, I got some cookies … Continue reading Dammit!

Fun A-Comin’
This is a sign on the top of the trail that I ride. There's a dumb warning under it. Something like be careful going down the hill. To me? That sign says "Bring It!" Not only is it a good downhill, it has twisties. So for a normal rider, maybe take 'er easy. Not me. … Continue reading Fun A-Comin’
Everything I own…
...is covered in dog hair. Last Sunday, I had time on my hands, and that meant time to clean the inside of the monster truck. It was bad. Pretty bad. I was dreading this. That's probably why it's gotten like it was. Still, that's what shop vacs are for. This was the first time I've … Continue reading Everything I own…
Well…Duh!
Man tossed of a Frontier flight for being rude. https://youtube.com/shorts/3_nT4LQgjcI?si=oJhXUe5N47egHcgy A flower in the garden of stupid. He most certainly was. I heard this on an Adam Carolla podast. He didn't say "get out of my way" to the flight attendant, according to them. He glared at the fight attendant and said "MOVE". He's an … Continue reading Well…Duh!
Happy St. Paddy’s Day
St. Patrick was a 5th-century Romano-British Christian missionary and bishop in Ireland, widely recognized as the "Apostle of Ireland" and the primary patron saint of the country. Born in Roman Britain (likely in what is now England, Scotland, or Wales), he was captured at age 16 by Irish raiders and enslaved in Ireland for six … Continue reading Happy St. Paddy’s Day
Of Course They Are…
Money grubbing ass-hats, that is: Microsoft has always been a money grubbing bunch of @#$$)!! - OldNFO Found this originally on Old NFO's Substack. This isn't a big surprise. Tech companies love them some subscriptions, cloud ones especially. This way they control the whole magilla and simply collect money. Prior to that, and even still … Continue reading Of Course They Are…
It’s About Time
Back when I first got Winston, he had a bit of separation anxiety. He chewed stuff. Like these: That's not an inexpensive pair of ropers. Look at the doofus in the background. I've just been wearing them anyhow. My pants leg covers them. But now, the soles are worn. They've had at least one new … Continue reading It’s About Time
Yeah. No Shit.
One of the series I binge watched when I was recovering from Cancer therapy was "Locked Up Abroad". The premise is simple. Doofuses go to another country, think they are still in America or will be treated differently because they are American, break the law, and get a taste of the local flavor of punishment … Continue reading Yeah. No Shit.
This is How They Do It
Windows 10 is being discontinued. Microsoft is working hard to make sure your computer is now useless unless you subscribe to Windows 11. I got an email earlier this month warning me, yet again, that no updates would come after the (I think) October date. You could, however, purchase your own 3rd party security, which … Continue reading This is How They Do It
Losing It
The other day, I lamented the end of my Thinkpad. Well, rumors of it's demise are premature. Behold: I got to thinking - the power strip was off the other night when the light should've automatically turned on. I turned it on, but that may have been after the laptop died. It was even easier … Continue reading Losing It
