I've seen Yin/Yang described as chaos and order, crisis and opportunity. I got tired of trying to look it up. So the hell with it. Witness Chaos: What you see here is the cleanup process of a toolbox dump. I have a toolbox that handles irrigation - sprinkler parts, hose parts, tools, and a few … Continue reading Yin & Yang

Off to a Weak Start
I'm off this week, sort of by surprise. When I'm off, with no other plans, I try and do two projects a day. One in the morning and one in the afternoon. Nothing got done yesterday but doctors appointments and running around. I had a gut doc followup from an upper GI scope a few … Continue reading Off to a Weak Start
Get’r Done
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

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
