TDS in the Wild

I joined Facebook again a few months ago, mostly because that's how many in my family communicate. I also like the feeds for Vice Grip Garage and other YouTubers I watch. I have few friends on it. I click-through on nothing. There's little on it but pics of me that are on the interwebs elsewhere, … Continue reading TDS in the Wild →

Earworm

What makes you play Linkin Park over and over like a mental patient? https://youtu.be/tYjNupUBEP0?si=aJULElswTLdhlwst Telling me to goBut hands beg me to stayYour lips say that you loveYour eyes say that you hate There's truth in your lies, doubt in your faithWhat you build, you lay to wasteThere's truth in your lies, doubt in your … Continue reading Earworm →

Happy Earf Day!

As usual, earth day snuck up on me. As PJ O'Rourke once said he did, I celebrated it by snacking high on the food chain and mixing all my recycling into the garbage. I went out to burn some hydrocarbons with the hot rod bike. I had a far different post planned and mostly written … Continue reading Happy Earf Day! →

An Interesting Observation

I had good friend call me the other night. He goes dark for weeks at a time sometimes, and then emerges to catch up on what’s been going on. He said he was worried about me. Turns out his son nearly died over the New Year’s holiday. He got married very early, and after four … Continue reading An Interesting Observation →

Welcome to 2024

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 →
