Had my May weigh in Wednesday. I clocked in at 185. So it seems I've hit a point where I'm stable. My weight has been +/- 3lbs since January. And this is with a week vacation, more restaurant meals, and the occasional desert with the Girl. I spent way too much time arguing with a … Continue reading Getting Fit

Daddy has a new pair of shoes
My daughter and son-in-law are hooked into some crazy auction sites. They pick up stuff, all sorts of stuff, stupidly cheap and resell it. Kind of a hobby. I was over the other day, and they gave me a pair of biking shoes. One of like eighty they picked up. Since I have mutant wide … Continue reading Daddy has a new pair of shoes
Doomed
Getting dressed one morning, I was listening to AM radio, like I do, and a piece came on about Frank Luntz interviewing Generation Z, who apparently prefers socialism. I had to find it. So here it is: https://youtu.be/LTjPGD9PBPM Now, this video has a few outliers whose parents came from socialist countries, like Cuba, telling the … Continue reading Doomed
Happy Earf Day!
As usual, earth day snuck up on me. As PJ O'Rourke once said he did, I celebrated it by snacking high on the food chain and mixing all my recycling into the garbage. I went out to burn some hydrocarbons with the hot rod bike. I had a far different post planned and mostly written … Continue reading Happy Earf Day!
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
It’s what it is..
Kim DuToit discovers insurance companies are dens of thieves. Was chatting to my insurance guy the other day, and the result of said discussion was that as far as my VW Tiguan is concerned, I’m screwed if I ever get into a wreck because the book value of the 2013 model with 130,000+ miles is … Continue reading It’s what it is..
So What?
Every so often when I'm working I'll tune into talk radio. I was listening to Sebastian Gorka the other day as he was taking calls. There's always a moonbat or two that make things interesting. That day's moon bat went on this tirade about how Hawaii was taken as a territory, the islanders not given … Continue reading So What?
Running from Cougars?
Brother Filthie has a run in with some older, single women. Bout a year back I took my niglet pup over to crazy Mary’s to get her shots. Mary had two friends over while we were there. I was caught totally by surprise. Within 5 minutes I knew her girl friends were divorced from extremely … Continue reading Running from Cougars?
