My daughter and son-in-law are hooked into some crazy auction sites. They pick up stuff, all sorts of stuff, stupidly cheap and resell it. Kind of a hobby. I was over the other day, and they gave me a pair of biking shoes. One of like eighty they picked up. Since I have mutant wide … Continue reading Daddy has a new pair of shoes

Belly Laugh of the Week
I first saw this on Irish's site, and split a gut laughing. https://youtube.com/shorts/4DX5m6uBCvo?si=u_6tChYcVe8jOj-R The timing is spectacular.
Unspeakable Horror
Talk about appropriation: https://youtu.be/x9XHMK3nWr4?si=veea5Rscpel2YrQ5 I saw the hype about this horrible remake and dismissed it. Fact of the matter, Beyonce doesn't have the voice for country. Wrong tenor, timbre, accent, and cadence. Wrong culture. I stumbled on some criticism at American Thinker. It is a truth universally acknowledged that all sane and decent people like, … Continue reading Unspeakable Horror
I’m helping the environment!
I love my monster truck. It's big. It's spacious. It rides smooth. But it also loves it's gas. I went through a period where I figured I could lower my gas bill by buying a small beater. I was looking at Jetta TDI wagons. But as I did the maths, the increase in my car … Continue reading I’m helping the environment!
Back When they Wrote Music
While I was writing the other day iTunes hit this: https://youtu.be/dIRkowObTQM?si=74ZgA-kKOlF1Ardg He's singing about missing his hometown. When was the last time someone composed a song like that? And with it the melody? Unlike today's popular tunes, it has more than three notes.
Echo…wut?
I have this thing with movies. If I can't believe the premise, or there's something so wrong it borders disbelief, I'm mostly out. I'll circle back to that. But so it was with the newest Marvel heroine (newest? Dunno) Echo. https://youtu.be/AFUKnherhuw?si=o8axiCv1X9sDi-IG Jeez these heroes sprout up like daisies, don't they? Let's check our list: Stronk … Continue reading Echo…wut?
Sittin’ on Top of the World
Found on Diogene's Middle Finger Symphony Theater: https://youtu.be/dJhsJq8G1Rw?si=F7v6eWojZ9B51ocy I like Robert Cray. But this is wrong. Only way I've heard this tune played was bluegrass. Behold: https://youtu.be/gO1msAAgFUg?si=eVFdDgYrjh25up2H It's supposed to be a happy, triumphant song. Dude's happy he's free of her, so he's hollering in song. Not a sad piece at all. It was in … Continue reading Sittin’ on Top of the World
Ready to Sail
Cleaned up the Kayak, best I could. Those two holes behind the seat are fishing pole holders. It also came with a pack accessory for the back. I figured that I wasn't going to bust my ass trying to remove the insulation residue in the cargo space. The only thing that would do it is … Continue reading Ready to Sail
You can call me “Captain”
About a year into our marriage, Herself and I bought a boat. A 28' SeaRay cabin cruiser. It weighed like three tons, and drafted 3.5 feet or so. Not trailerable, unless you had a dump truck to tow it. It needed a slip. So when we bought it, we quickly discovered slip rentals were by … Continue reading You can call me “Captain”
Storyworth
Last year for Father's Day, My son got me a Storyworth account. Dude always gives the most thoughtful gifts. What happens then is you get a subject to write about every week. You can also add your own questions (I did). You don't have to write about every question sent. You can skip them. You … Continue reading Storyworth
