A New Beginning

Happy New Year! This is a new beginning for me. Got a new pace in a new town. I've already started meeting people. Meeting new friends has never been hard for me. Living down here has made my life way easier. I have some things to wrap up in Plano, but they're easy. I have … Continue reading A New Beginning →

Refugee Moving

The best-laid schemes of mice and men. I'm readying to move. Got the new house. Packing up the old house. I rented the new place a month in advance so I wouldn't have to refugee move. I said that on a call this week and one of my coworkers asked what a refugee move was. … Continue reading Refugee Moving →

Not a Fan

There's a guy at my Church that does physical/occupational therapy that holds sessions every week as a ministry. Several of my friends (older ones) go to these. One, in particular, always wore the same type of Nikes I used to buy. As a testament to their declining quality, you could hear him coming from across … Continue reading Not a Fan →

Email Hygiene

I got one of those funny emails this week. You know the ones where some 'master hacker' says he owns your machine and has vidya of you wanking he's going to distribute to your contact list unless you send some bitcoin. Yeah. That would be some amazing hack, by the way. I don't do pron. … Continue reading Email Hygiene →

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 →

Getting Fit

I didn't do a fitness post at the start of the month. Didn't seem to have much to say. I tipped the scales at 188. My weight has been in a 5 lb range for most of the year. That tells me my diet and exercise are on track. A little less eating out, more … Continue reading Getting Fit →

Speaking with the Big Guy

I was forty or so when I learned how to pray. It was about that time that I got an actual answer to a prayer. Growing up, the nuns would tell us to pray. Say these words. Like an incantation. It'll give you an indulgence. It'll scare away the debbil. It'll spring some soul from … Continue reading Speaking with the Big Guy →

Again?

I headed out on the bike for my normal Monday ride at lunch. It was hot as hell. As I crossed the big intersection near my house, I was thinking, "Nah, I don't need a repair kit on the bike. I don't go far enough that I can't walk back. Maybe if I go off … Continue reading Again? →

Getting Fit

I tipped the scales at 192 this morning. Probably less, since I wasn't buck nekkid on the scale. So my weight has been stable - +/- 5lbs since January or so. I think it cracked 190 because I've easily added 5 lbs of muscle in my shoulders and thighs. When I returned from vacation in … Continue reading Getting Fit →

Check On Your People

Most of the cities around here have codes for upkeep of your property. Plano is especially tough, although I see a lot of crappy lawns around here. But as long as the grass isn't too high (you need grass for that) they appear to leave you alone. More often than not, a nosy neighbor complains. … Continue reading Check On Your People →
