I tipped the scales at 192 this month. Not bad. -2 lbs from last month, not as light as a few months ago, but in the ballpark for the last four months or so. We'll see. I've been eating out more lately, most of it social. But I've also changed up my workouts. I'm at … Continue reading Getting Fit

Getting Fit
This month's weigh in had me at an Empty Weight of 195. Hoof! that's a 10lb in a month increase where the previous three had me consistently between 185 and 190. That anomaly got me thinking. On the minus side of the ledger, I've eaten out more last month than usual. Most of that is … Continue reading Getting Fit

IT…Dem are good jobs
BCE had a piece about his career move. And some follow up. I can't point fingers. I've done something like this at least three times. Except the move out the country part. But take a different job, when I had a super safe one, for more money. By doing that, the last time I did … Continue reading IT…Dem are good jobs
Getting Fit
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

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
Whole Lotta Nothin’
Big eclipse day yesterday. So what? I'm off this week, fixin' to head south with the Girl, so I had a ton of errands to run today, most important of which was to get dog food for the pups for the week. Followed by updating Winston's chip information and registering Aria's. The checker at Tom … Continue reading Whole Lotta Nothin’
