After a few weeks hiatus, the fellas showed up and got started on the street in front of my house. Dude showed up in a bobcat with a hammer one Friday, beat the concrete silly. First thing Monday the big gear showed up and removed the other half of the street. Right on their heels … Continue reading Get’r Done

DAMMIT!
Not at all what I wanted to see when I went out to my car Sunday Morning. What you see in front of you is an inner fender that's been on the car maybe a month or so. What's different this time is the chunck of wiring you see, as well as the deep teeth … Continue reading DAMMIT!
Diminishing Returns
I've been off this week. Had big plans. Plans that had to change. Why? Behold: Not even the hottest part of the day either. The heat is so bad, it's nauseating. I'm strugging to keep my plants alive. Although the sunflowers and wildflowers I planted seem to bo doing OK. Even the persimmon tree seems … Continue reading Diminishing Returns
High Hopes
I've been off this week. You see, the company I work for has a policy that all vacation has to be scheduled all at one time. They want it booked, so it's burned whether you use it or not. I have 20 days or more. So, about every quarter I scheduled a week off. All … Continue reading High Hopes
The Flag Fairy
Go hit by the Flag Fairy the other day. I could look at the cameras, but I know who it is. I still have his flags from last year. My new flags And he's the exact opposite of a fairy. He's actually a brother knight (of columbus), one of the men who puts his faith … Continue reading The Flag Fairy
Let Papa Fix It
Sometimes you don't realize how much you need something until it's gone. We have a water/ice dispenser on our fridge and I hit that puppy many times a day. Slowly but surely, it went out. No water, no ice. I had a week of buying drinking water at the store. A huge hassle. So there's … Continue reading Let Papa Fix It
Odds and Ends
Busy week this last week. We had a crawfish boil on Saturday. I had a zoom call in the morning and gave the boy instructions how to get started. He did me proud and had things moving for when I was off my call. It started off bad. I used Herself's hotrod to go pick … Continue reading Odds and Ends
A Barn Find
The product I support in my real job is OEM-d to two other manufacturers, and I create and maintain the training courses for them, as well as the original. For a modest fee, of course. Ever so often they ask for updates or changes. It's a living. A good one actually. So one of these … Continue reading A Barn Find
Make it Stop
I don't know where I found this. But I went on the site, sized it up, then left. I'm literally getting hammered with Ads for this stupid product with an even dumber name nearly everywhere I go. Each video you have a whiny millenial voice complaining on how hard it is to maintain a lawn … Continue reading Make it Stop
On the Road
I'm on my way this morning to a convention of the vast right wing conspiracy, otherwise known as the Knights of Columbus. It's the second one I've attended, and hopefully the first where I don't get food poisoning. The first was easy to figure out. I was riding with a friend, and we stopped at … Continue reading On the Road
