Gonna be a great year, Tater. At least I think so. Could hardly be worse than 2023, that's for sure. Now that I'm setup in the new place, I can reflect on where I am and where I'm going. The house is closed, and gone, Money in the accounts. There is nothing tethering me to … Continue reading Welcome to 2024

Merry New Year!
So happy New Year. I spent the entire weekend moving. The movers were great. A bargain if you ask me. They showed up on time, and were done by lunch. Then I was on my own, more or less. My brother, his wife, and son showed up in the afternoon and hit the place like … Continue reading Merry New Year!
Uh Oh…
I had a good friend call me on Christmas to catch up. He's missed me the last few times he's tried. He might try earlier in the evening, or not smack dab in the middle of a holiday. Timing's not his thing. He told me the wife (he's been married longer than I was) has … Continue reading Uh Oh…
The Zoomies
It was a decent holiday. It didn't work out like I had hoped. But I'll save that for another time. But something funny did happen over the weekend. Winston got a case of the Zoomies. The Zoomies is what happens when a dog gets so wired, they generally run around at top speed. If they … Continue reading The Zoomies
DoubleThink
George Orwell had a word to describe how these nutty lefties think today. It was called DoubleThink. This way you can seemingly hold to objectively opposite opinions at the same time, insisting both are right. For instance it is a simple concept; is always wrong to harass, badger, hurt, or kill innocents. Period, end of … Continue reading DoubleThink
Happy Anniversary
Today would've been Herself's and my 34th anniversary. It's only worth noting because we had pride in our longevity. I haven't talked with her since she left, although we are able to communicate cordially via email. I don't know if that will ever change. Even last week I had a friend tell me, in no … Continue reading Happy Anniversary
Readying to Bug Out
It's Sunday morning as I type this, and it's cold. I'm waiting for the temps to come up so I can continue packing the garage. Winston is curled up on the bed in my office. The slobbering doofus took out one of my slippers. Can't have anything nice around here. I need to ban him … Continue reading Readying to Bug Out
DAMMIT!
Man, this is old. That hat is 20 years old. Faded and softened nicely, and cannot be replaced. That's a 4th degree Knights of Columbus lid I got at a convention decades ago. They are typically made for each convention. I'm really going to have to lock this place down when I leave. In this … Continue reading DAMMIT!
Winston and Other Updates.
I did my monthly weigh in last week, thinking my weight would've gone up since I had an hernia fixed and haven't been doing much for working out, other than walking dogs. I clocked in at 206, losing 6 lbs by doing mostly nothing. I've lost nearly 70 lbs and my pants are falling off … Continue reading Winston and Other Updates.
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
