Let Papa Fix the Flashlights

Some time ago, my brother in law was telling me about having to deal with a chronic sore achilles, and the doctor visits. Dude retired, and got into fitness - running, tennis, whatnot. Lost the dad bod, and leaned out. The picture of health, other than his ankle. After all sorts of test, the doc … Continue reading Let Papa Fix the Flashlights →

Let Papa Fix It

My son in law is into pizza. He's got a propane pizza oven, makes his own dough. So my son bought him a pizza peel, from Ooni. Behold: That's the way it showed up. That's also the way it's replacement showed up. Seems easy enough to fix. That's not a joint. The joints held. What … Continue reading Let Papa Fix It →

Gonna be a Great Day, Tater.

My life is complete. Proton has released Proton Calendar for IoS. Doesn't seem like a big deal. But it is to me. I can't sync my phone to my work computer. I sync to outlook on my personal machine, but that results in two calendars - one for Outlook, one for my iPhone. Great. I … Continue reading Gonna be a Great Day, Tater. →

Deep Freeze 2022

It's bitter outside. It'll be 10 degrees tonight. That's not usual for December in DFW. Hell, it's not usual nearly anytime here, except recently it seems. That means work needs to be done to make sure there isn't misery over Christmas weekend. Cover plants, make sure hose faucets are covered, make sure the house is … Continue reading Deep Freeze 2022 →

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 →

Work Sharp

I'm a knife nut. I have a ritual before holidays, but often before cooking where I sharpen my knives. I use water stones to sharpen them, then a steel to finish them off. Some time ago, I got a Cuisinart pro sharpener. It had two grinder wheels - course and fine, and two hones, fine … Continue reading Work Sharp →

I Smell a Rat

I was lifting weights in the garage and noticed some holes in a bag of dog food I'd left by my rack. More I studied, there were droppings around as well. Sure as hell, a rat had taken up residence again. Last one ended poorly for the bugger as Jasper flushed him out, and Jethro … Continue reading I Smell a Rat →

FFS Just Get On With It

I love these car fixup channels on youtube. Mostly because that's how I got my rides, back in the day. I'd buy beaters almost exclusively. Even now, I have a modern beater - a 2011 Rav4. Sure, it's newer, and sort of shiny. But it didn't cost much and although it's low mileage, it's nearly … Continue reading FFS Just Get On With It →

Riding the Pain Train

Saturday it was dry and cool enough to fix the sprinkler head and pipes in the front yard that I started a week ago. I puzzed all week about how to splice this all together, since it turns out the damage to two pipes wasn't nature, but my ham-handed use of the sawzall to remove … Continue reading Riding the Pain Train →
