Get a load of this: That is a Master Lock 178D combination lock, and a piece of shit. That lock is maybe two months old. I think it's rained here once, and the thing was seized up pretty good. I had to smack it a few times with a deadblow hammer for it to open … Continue reading A piece of crap

A good day, tater
Good day today. Got a lot done. It was nice in that it was only 85 or so, and mostly cloudy. Best part was stepping on the scale. My empty weight [nekkid] clocked in at 229. I busted the barrier and lost 9 pounds since stopping alcohol. That's 46 pounds since last November. It also … Continue reading A good day, tater
More AI Funnies
I pondered this post. But hell, it's simply too funny not to do it. Like all tech execs these days, our CEO is absolutely infatuated with AI. The industry has moved from Cloud Everything to AI. He also likes to mingle with woke and tech glitterati. This week we had an AI guru on a … Continue reading More AI Funnies
And So it Begins…
Welcome to Texas! They've been predicting shitstorms all day. It was supposed to start in the morning, so I was planning on working all day, no dog walking. But it didn't. So, I walked the dogs, then went back to work. After lunch, the sun came out. So I hit a dilemma. Today is a … Continue reading And So it Begins…
Descent into Hell, Part 2
I thought my trip to the mall was bad, what came next was even worse. I was over helping my wife with the grandkids a week prior, and they all were sick. No matter, I generally don't get these things. Not a day later the missus was laid low by a godawful flu. At least … Continue reading Descent into Hell, Part 2
Descent into Hell, Part 1
The mobile started misbehaving even worse than usual the other day. I'd been getting a day or so out of a charge, and marketly less so if I used it at all. I started noticing that I couldn't surf really well, and got to thinking it had been sometime that I've seen a 5G icon. … Continue reading Descent into Hell, Part 1
Riding the Pain Train
It's been a horrible week, for a number of reasons. Some self inflicted, some not. I've been fighting a cold and stomach bug nearly all week. It's not the coof. My sinuses were stuffed (not dripping, inflamed), My stomach's been on the edge of nausea, and I'm not sleeping well. The sinus medication wrecks my … Continue reading Riding the Pain Train
Can’t Find Good Help
Divemedic had a post up a week or so about how bad things are getting in the hospital business. He had a followup here. In a nutshell, there's a shortage of qualifed medical staff, for a number of reasons. To overcome this, hospitals were paying silly money and bonuses for existing and new nurses and … Continue reading Can’t Find Good Help
Are you kidding?
Damn, I hate windows... Why do they do this? Why do I need to go and figure out how to make it stop? I don't want memories of this day. I spent it working. I'm drinking beer, as I shouldn't, to forget today. Nobs. I'm a pro. I don't need this on my machine. I … Continue reading Are you kidding?
Third World Enterprise
There's a certain type of person you run into any time you are trying to do anything that time means nothing. Nor, apparently do the words "Appointment" and "Reservation" mean much either. Jerry Seinfeld did a bit about this on his show. I had fender bender (actually more of a door bender) with my car. … Continue reading Third World Enterprise
