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 →

I can watch this all day

My new mental patient channel on Youtubes is ViceGrip Garage. I can watch this dude all day. What he does is find abandoned relics, gets them running, and drives them home. Usually. Although one episode he got beaten by an F-250 that spent way to long rotting. Why do I like this? First and foremost, … Continue reading I can watch this all day →

Still Fun, but I got to work at it more.

Had the week off last week, and tried like hell to get stuff done that has been languishing around here for weeks. I still need to finish my network. I have the extra access point up, but couldn't do much else. Herself was home all week as well, and I can't drop the interwebs while … Continue reading Still Fun, but I got to work at it more. →

You gotta get you one..

I like to joke that there are two lines you'll hear in Texas when talking about something. "You gotta get you one of those" and "Them are good". It's funny because I've had the lowliest worker say that, as well as my double - masters degreed boss when I first arrived. "You gotta get you … Continue reading You gotta get you one.. →

American Pilgrim

I'll say up front that this is one of the best books I've read in the last year. It's the story of a man coming to redemption and discerning who he is and what God wants him to do with his life. I'm glad I bought the paper version for reasons you'll see below. I first … Continue reading American Pilgrim →

What a Morning

It's been a morning. Before I go further I need to explain some North Texas stuff.Around here, if your house was built after 1960 or so, the driveways are in the rear of the house. You enter through an alley to get to your driveway. This is good and bad. Good, because you get a … Continue reading What a Morning →

Sausage Creature? Never met Him

But I seen him. I love riding motorcycles. I've had more than a few of varying types, selling my sixth just a few years ago. At the time, I also subscribed to Cycle World. I don't think there's an issue that I didn't read cover to cover. They have great writers. I read this one … Continue reading Sausage Creature? Never met Him →

Eurolux Percolator

I'm not a huge coffee drinker. Coffee and Alcohol do about the same thing to my guts. I'll go for some time with neither. Then, I'll start drinking coffee. I'll have a cup, then think all is well and I start drinking it every day. After a few weeks, my guts are sour and will … Continue reading Eurolux Percolator →

USB outlets

Every now an then you run across something that makes you think; "Holy shit! I didn't know they made these things!". You buy the thing and it turns out exactly like you thought. I had a problem. We rebuilt our kitchen, and the contractor thought "Hey, it'd be useful to have an outlet at the … Continue reading USB outlets →
