Not long after I started working at home (2005) I bought a cheap "L" shaped desk at Office Depot. I've had that desk through 4 moves and 20 years. In the new place, it was replaced by a far nicer desk. So it sat in the other corner as sort of a project space. More … Continue reading New space

Leveling Up
I've had a dash cam on my car since 2019. It was a cheapy one I got on amazon for like $40. I think I spend another few shekels on a mount. It worked well until this year when the internal battery crapped out. No clue how to get one of those. What it was … Continue reading Leveling Up
Big Plans…Not.
I have the week off this week, with no one big thing I've been thinking of doing. I have a list of stuff I need to get done, all of it minor. It started with a doable three tasks or so, and now it's up to a dozen, at least. But today is bitter and … Continue reading Big Plans…Not.
EDC Woes
My EDC knife is a Kersaw leek: I actually have three of these on rotation. The black one you see here, a green one, and a silver one. Why? Because I lose them from time to time, I replace them, then they reappear. Usually under a couch or my truck seats. The current one that's … Continue reading EDC Woes
As if…
...I needed another hobby. Behold: That there is a laser cutting/engraving tool. I'm still figuring out the software. The control software came with it. The design software is going to set me back another Benjamin. At least it's a perpetual license. I'll look and see if there's Linux freeware. I'm sure there is. I have … Continue reading As if…
Assembling the New Ride
Got around to assembling bike this week, and taking it on a maiden voyage. Oddly, there were no directions in the box. I kind of like that. A pro thing. You should know what to do. There were some instructions on the outside, starting with how to open the box: Apparently I was supposed to … Continue reading Assembling the New Ride
Some Assembly Required
I'm stoked. Test ride coming.
Running Barefoot
I run a few days every week, about three miles. Usually I take Fridays off to start my recovery. I am, after all, an older gentleman. A few years ago, we had a physical therapist, sports variety, speak at the Church. His big thing was zero drop shoes, how you should have shoes that allow … Continue reading Running Barefoot
Go Towards the Light
I've spent all week screwing with my new work laptop. Most of my frustration is based on company policies and a feckless Helpdesk. It was supposed to automatically restore based on the backup from my old laptop. It did. They put a 'restored files' folder on my desktop. I didn't have delete permissions. So all … Continue reading Go Towards the Light
Range Report
Saturday was a range day. First, to try out the range I joined, second, it was the Boy's birthday, so we had a father/son "shoot then steaks" day, and third? I have new shootin' irons to test out. Let's start with the range. I joined RangeUSA in Arlington. It's about the only one around that … Continue reading Range Report
