The snow and ice the weather people have been gobbling about for a few weeks finally arrived. Man, what a weekend. First off is Dewayne asking "Why aren't you prepared?" https://youtu.be/uuUqI8zgWN0?si=ftemyPUP1ZMvweLY Well? Why weren't you prepared? FFS it's been all over the place for weeks. No reason you didn't lay in some supplies and batten … Continue reading Snowmaggedon

Suck it up
I caught this the other day: https://youtu.be/D1rD8E94jgU?si=1Ad9xNe4T6u_H03I Blaming others for your life is a bad move on a number of levels. We don't know anything about this woman other than she looks to be early 20s and appears to work at Walmart. She's going on about having to work 40 hours a week (full time) … Continue reading Suck it up
Merry New Year!
https://youtu.be/14ycMqFysJ0?si=m0KjudptmeQ-GIEK Beef jerky time! Looking back, 2025 wasn't all that bad. I got a new place, new town. Met a lot of friends here and settled into life. We'll see what happens in 2026. I'd like to find a new gig. I'd like to find another hoopty. I need to spend more time touring on … Continue reading Merry New Year!
Merry Christmas
Usually, I take the whole Christmas week off. This year, I'm taking the week after. I have little to do before, these days. Hell, it wasn't until last weekend that my kids had any sort of gameplan going. Until I met the Girl, I spent Christmas eve alone more often than not. That started before … Continue reading Merry Christmas
Getting Fit
I had a brace of doctor appointments in the last two weeks. Actually, those and a test. This is normal stuff for me. Being an older gentleman, I have an entourage of doctors that typically alternate on six month schedules. I see the endocrinologist and gut doctor in June/July. I see the cardiologist and the … Continue reading Getting Fit
Puttering
It's been tough getting back to work this week. I've had little time for farting around. I don't use Facebook for much. Mostly, I use it to keep track of my friends that post there, monitor a few feeds of things I find interesting, and post funny memes I've harvested from my surfing. I posted … Continue reading Puttering
Getting Fit
Another month's gone by. My weight is remarkably stable, deviating only a few pounds either way, and it's been like that for months. I've been better about my diet, but not as much as I should've. I've added creatine supplements to my other vitamin load. The change has been subtle, but I've noticed my weightlifting … Continue reading Getting Fit
On Getting Old
Found this on Irish's place awhile back, thought I wrote about it, but I didn't. And here’s the kicker aging hits men differently than women, and it’s almost always framed negatively. Women get “wine nights,” “self-care Sundays,” and “50 & Fabulous.” We men on the other hand hit 40 and it’s dad-bod jokes, hairline memes, … Continue reading On Getting Old
Getting Fit
Now that the Texas blast furnace is over for the season, working out has become a pleasure. It really is nice to finish a run or bike ride without the flop sweats. So now my attention is turning back to diet, especially since the holiday season is upon us. I spend a lot of time … Continue reading Getting Fit
The Dark Night
Mother Theresa endured what she called as the Dark Night of the soul. Where she felt as if God abandoned her. Seems hard to believe, seeing how she was. A lot of critics used that as a weapon to mock her. But we all go through these dark periods. Even me. Lately it's like a … Continue reading The Dark Night
