A good day, tater

Good day today. Got a lot done. It was nice in that it was only 85 or so, and mostly cloudy. Best part was stepping on the scale. My empty weight [nekkid] clocked in at 229. I busted the barrier and lost 9 pounds since stopping alcohol. That's 46 pounds since last November. It also … Continue reading A good day, tater →

Yummy

Behold: This is my brand new spa filter, after one day of filtering a new refill on a clean spa. Only thing in the water was Chlorine shock. Get a filter for your drinking water. At least here in Texas.

Today’s the Day

Welcome to North Dallas. It happens every year. The heater outside kicks on and it gets seriously hot. Like knocking on 10 degrees door. That's when you realize as you are puttering around the yard outside that jeans, socks, shoes, polo shirt were a bad fashion choice. I ended up a dishrag and had to … Continue reading Today’s the Day →

The Old Women on the Corner

There were two older women neighbors when I moved in here. The first one, across the street from me, has her house facing the cross street. She had a cool Shepherd, a recycled military dog that she adopted. She told me how to go about it, but the list was too long. I've only had … Continue reading The Old Women on the Corner →

And So it Begins…

Welcome to Texas! They've been predicting shitstorms all day. It was supposed to start in the morning, so I was planning on working all day, no dog walking. But it didn't. So, I walked the dogs, then went back to work. After lunch, the sun came out. So I hit a dilemma. Today is a … Continue reading And So it Begins… →

I have a deep and wide skillset that eclipses many in my industry. Hand it to me, … Continue reading Friday Wrap →

Odds & Ends

Dude was wiped out last night. That'll be me tonight. It's been a long week. After what seemed like an eternity, my plants are sprouting and growing. It really was like 10 days, just as the seed packs said. You can't hardly see them, but tiny pepper plants are popping up to the left. To … Continue reading Odds & Ends →

Spring is Springing, and a Lazy Dawg

It’s the middle of February, and is still pretty damn cold. But I got my seeds into pots. This time I didn’t order any actual plants, because the plants I ordered from Burpee last year arrived kind of peeked and weren’t really any better than the ones I planted myself. Yesterday I came came into … Continue reading Spring is Springing, and a Lazy Dawg →

Scenes from IceApocalypse 2023

We had a 'wintry mix' last two days. Which was really ice and rain. I was telling my collegues that the white stuff you see isn't snow. It's ice, not unlike the 'snow' that's made at a ski resort. Then it rained on top and froze, as it does about once a year here. BTW, … Continue reading Scenes from IceApocalypse 2023 →

Wintry Mix

We had ice today, which shut down a lot of the numbnuttery. Speaking of numbnuts, Jethro was overjoyed to discover ice was falling from the sky. https://vimeo.com/794682513 I cut out the parts where he was doing his bidness. This is a family site, after all. That white stuff is ice. It was thundering as it … Continue reading Wintry Mix →
