Man sells all to travel 1200 miles to discover the love of his life is actually an AI character. She (it?) was apparently portrayed as as "a wealthy farmer searching for a husband, featuring videos of an idyllic countryside lifestyle and promises of romance, financial security and a comfortable home." DOH! Gotta admit, she's pretty … Continue reading Finding love in bits and bytes

Getting Fit?
Normally this post at the beginning of the month would be a tale of triumph and gains. I've had one of those. I've lost a quite a bit of weight. How? Not eating. I've been sick for over two weeks, just this Monday starting to feel halfway decent. I go forever with not so much … Continue reading Getting Fit?
Dog Bites Man
Just like the sun rising in the morning and setting in the evening, there'll be complaining of power bills in Texas when it gets hot. I found this among the "Dog Lost/Found" and female validation posts on NextDoor: Screenshot A real "No Shit" moment. One that I had when I first moved here almost 26 … Continue reading Dog Bites Man
Burn the boats
Dewayne has been on a roll lately. After the old lady filed and left, he did his processing and is now posting mostly gold. https://youtu.be/3rLHomQWNY0 I can sum up this video with a saying my old Spanish teacher used all the time: "Adelante, Siempre Adelante!. Forward children, Always forward!" When you have some sort of … Continue reading Burn the boats
They may be right
Somehow or another, this channel hit my YouTubes feed: https://youtu.be/GOPFLcmp5ME For whatever reason, I find a thirty-something Japanese woman's day to day activities interesting. I like seeing the stores and restaurants. Every so often she does one of these, where she itemizes her pay and how she spends her money. She said in an earlier … Continue reading They may be right
Dealing with Obsolete Gear
I run quite a bit every week. Usually 10k or a little more, depending on the weather. To do that you don't need much, but you do need a few things, especially in the heat here in Texas. Super light running shorts and shirts that wick moisture are a must have. You'll broil and get … Continue reading Dealing with Obsolete Gear
On the Bench
This week, we had a coworker take one for the team and ask for a package. She was done. Time to retire and do something else. Why not go out with a little more cash? Turns out, we have another dude going as well, this one a pay grade above me. He was invited to … Continue reading On the Bench
About the dumbest thing I’ve seen
Found this on the thread about my company at thelayoff.com Why in all the name of what's holy would you surf sites like these, or any non business site on your company provided machine? Naughty sites? Really? Back in the day when I was a network engineer, we had exception alerts running and pulled reports … Continue reading About the dumbest thing I’ve seen
Getting Fit
It's been a good month working out. I've gotten more serious about weightlifting, adding more weight to each set. It's tough, but it's paying off. By the time I get to the garage to lift, it's hot AF out. 4-5PM is the hottest part of the day here, and that's when I have the time … Continue reading Getting Fit
I’m with him.
Dewayne at Tack Room Bible Talk wonders if he's done. https://youtu.be/_KvYf8CBgSE A few weeks ago, he announced that he and his wife of 34 years or so are getting divorced. Man, oh man, where have I seen that before. Oh! with me, that's where! As an aside, what's up with these middle aged women detonating … Continue reading I’m with him.
