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
What is Best in Life?
https://youtu.be/Oo9buo9Mtos No lamentations here. What is best? Today? Sitting here having a cold beer, looking at my freshly mowed lawn. The sense of satisfaction is great. You know what's next? When it's raining, tomorrow or Sunday, sitting in my sunroom, having an adult beverage, listening to the rain falling on a freshly mowed lawn. This … Continue reading What is Best in Life?
Let Papa Fix It
Now that I'm done the floor, I have a stack of projects around here to do. And what better thing than to post these on a weekly basis. I found this on Kenny's site, I think: Damn straight. Not enough of this happening these days. BTW - This is what my son went through and … Continue reading Let Papa Fix It
