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 →

Range Report

Finally got to the range to try out the new pistole. That's my wingman taking aim. Those guts and headshots? They are my new bodyguard and my M&P shield .45, one handed. Man, that .380 barks. Shoots really well though. I brought my Bodyguard 2 (.380), Shield (.45), Buck Mark (.22) and my Bulldog (.44). … Continue reading Range Report →

What’s This?

Something new has been added! Hit the trail yesterday and there was a spanking brand new line down the center. Interesting move. And it appears to have worked. Everyone stayed in their lane, more or less. The only time I found someone in the way was when they were trying to pass someone on the … Continue reading What’s This? →

Happy Halloween

Halloween is tonight. I have fond memories of Halloween. Growing up, We'd roast pumpkin seeds, my dad would start a fire, put on some Irish music, and prepare for the onslaught. There were a ton of kids in my neighborhood growing up. We, of course, hit the streets using pillow cases for loot. No cheap … Continue reading Happy Halloween →

Fall is Here, For Sure

True to Texas form, the seasons change at the flip of a switch. So early in the week, it was cool and pleasant. The dogs love this weather. There's a snap in their steps while walking. Trash day walks are tough. Every bag must be inspected, and a lot of them are ripped open. I … Continue reading Fall is Here, For Sure →

Fall is Here for Real

A cold front rolled into town, and the weather turned glorious. I was out walking the dogs last weekend, and it was downright chilly. The dogs love this weather. They aren't the only ones. Lot of days ahead, clear and sunny like this. I came back from this walk and put on jeans for the … Continue reading Fall is Here for Real →

Life Finds a Way

Saw this whilst walking the dogs. Cracked me up: The prettier bunch of flowers busted through the crack in the curb, and is growing in a pile of curb detris. Wish my plants were so motivated.

Fall is Coming

At least to Texas, anyhow. The mornings have turned glorious. Cool, not chilly, with the sun reflecting off the dew on the fields. Soon, I'll be able to walk the pups in the morning without having to put on a light wicking shirt and returning with it sweaty. I can don my Timberlands, so my … Continue reading Fall is Coming →

Morning on the Patio

That Explains It

The number of fools doing this is directly proportional to the number of locusts around here, bringing their strange and idiotic driving habits. It's worse on some of the country roads I use. One that I'm up and down every week runs through farms and ranches. And more often than not, there's some nitwit in … Continue reading That Explains It →
