My Advice? Suck it up.

A video went viral on Twitter the other day. I don't have twitter, but I heard it on the radio, and it wasn't long before this or that site got hold of it, and the youtubers started commenting. I had no desire to see it. But I was eating lunch whilst scanning my subscriptions for … Continue reading My Advice? Suck it up. →

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 →

Where I hit an Estate Sale

I love estate sales. But you have to hit them early. Most have bullshit. All the crap one collects before you pull the croak chain and the kids have to clean out the house. I read a piece awhile back where the consignment shops were full, and it was tough to get rid of mom's … Continue reading Where I hit an Estate Sale →

Happy Father’s Day

Not as big a deal as Mother's Day. I myself would be content to lay about all day and simply have someone to cook other than me. However, around this time I think of my own Dad. He was born in 1929, a few days before Black Monday. Although he lived through the depression, it … Continue reading Happy Father’s Day →

Friday Funnies

Shamelessly poached from emails I get and sites I visit. I was so depressed last night thinking about the economy, wars, jobs, my savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc., I called the Suicide Hotline. I got a call center in Afghanistan, and when I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited, and asked … Continue reading Friday Funnies →

Fixing Hats

I pretty much will wear a hat whenever I will be outside for any period of time. Reason being, I'm bald, and it's Texas where your noggin can get fried in under an hour. So I have a collection of baseball caps. Reason for a collection is I destroy them. You sweat like a champion … Continue reading Fixing Hats →

Check That One Off The List

While I've been off this week, it hasn't all been fooling on my computer and drinking beer. I haven't been on the computer that much. On the agenda is new tires for the hot rod. But, I really didn't feel like it today. I'm not finding tires priced within my comfort zone. The ones that … Continue reading Check That One Off The List →

Redneck Watering Can

I have watering can issues. Actually, I have dog issues. As in they like to eat things that are plastic. I had a plastic watering can, which the puppy promptly ate the important part. The one at at the end that makes the sprinkles. So, I bought a metal can. That one was actually fantastic. … Continue reading Redneck Watering Can →

Sunday Music

https://youtu.be/Nu4tjTyqbho An amazing rendition. Do you think there's a soul under 40 that could even dream of those lyrics? or even the situation that caused the song to be crafted in the first place? BB King's voice is epic. I can't think of another singer with that tenor and power. And the dude's what? Over … Continue reading Sunday Music →
