Back when I first got Winston, he had a bit of separation anxiety. He chewed stuff. Like these: That's not an inexpensive pair of ropers. Look at the doofus in the background. I've just been wearing them anyhow. My pants leg covers them. But now, the soles are worn. They've had at least one new … Continue reading It’s About Time

Fashion Woes
I have a plan to up my fashion game for the fall, which I'm mostly done. I donated all the old clothes that no longer fit, and started buying new ones. I bought two new sport coats, grey tweed, and blue. I thought I'd get my black one tailored to fit, but when I took … Continue reading Fashion Woes
Ride Report
I had enough. For a number of reasons, I decided I needed two wheel therapy on Good Friday. The weekend was building a suck factor. So that needed to be rectified with some speed. Friday was the only day to do it, since storms were due Saturday and Sunday. The winds were already picking up. … Continue reading Ride Report
Another Rogan Interview
JD Vance took Harris' spot on Rogan. Another long interview that seemed short as hell. I listened to it while working. He was better than Trump. A normal dude. Smart, that can talk on any number of subjects. Didn't flinch one bit, even when Rogan went into his 'shrooms and weed should be legal schtick. … Continue reading Another Rogan Interview
Better to Rust than Burn Out
I got caught up in another DeWayne video. This one on his Dry Creek Wrangler School channel. https://youtu.be/IbqUTHHRMn4?si=eAI4VRfEHNUw9_hz This was on the stages of life. More specific, when us guys get long in the tooth. He starts off talking about his old horse that he brought down there - Boone. Boone has been his main … Continue reading Better to Rust than Burn Out
Updates
I've been off this week, so far. I had plans. Big plans. That all got shot, mostly. I had two things at this dump of a house that I wanted to fix - re-grout some of the shower, because it was done poorly and it was nasty and replace a valve under the sink in … Continue reading Updates
Getting Fit
This month's weigh in had me at an Empty Weight of 195. Hoof! that's a 10lb in a month increase where the previous three had me consistently between 185 and 190. That anomaly got me thinking. On the minus side of the ledger, I've eaten out more last month than usual. Most of that is … Continue reading Getting Fit
Mitigated Speech
Awa over at GunFree Zone had an interesting piece on communication. It comes about when somebody uses language that is designed to not offend, rather than to say things clearly. Awa Oh man, have I seen this. Today, my wife got a long text message from her friend. My wife was accused of being a … Continue reading Mitigated Speech
On Dying
Filthie's dad is dying. He posted a piece last week that got me thinking. I should have told dad I loved him when I left… but the men in my family don’t talk like that. I found it difficult to think, it was bedlam at the home. These are people at the end of their … Continue reading On Dying
I’m helping the environment!
I love my monster truck. It's big. It's spacious. It rides smooth. But it also loves it's gas. I went through a period where I figured I could lower my gas bill by buying a small beater. I was looking at Jetta TDI wagons. But as I did the maths, the increase in my car … Continue reading I’m helping the environment!
