Today is moving day. As this posts, the movers are probably here. There really isn't much for them to move. There are tons of boxes, and the heavy stuff. I moved the garage and shed yesterday, mostly. Needless to say, my head is in a better place since I'm more prepared and there's a gameplan. … Continue reading Random Thoughts →

While listening to the radio every morning, the announcer says "It's eight twenty one" as opposed to "it's twenty minutes past the hour." Must be with the advent of the digital clock they get specific. Speaking about time, They say half six - in England. That's 5:30 innit? Just an observation on my crotchety old … Continue reading Random Thoughts →

Had a great post thought up but the week got away from me. So it's braindump time again, I reckon. No real mischief from the dogs this week. Other than one of them appears to have figured out how to open up a food-service 5 gal bucket to snack on dog food. I was about … Continue reading Random Thoughts →

It's been an exceptionally busy week, with me running like a rat. I went for a follow-up for my hernia surgery. So, while I like Baylor, it's always a treat to try and get there on time when you have a dozen of the befuddled trying to navigate an otherwise well marked, and well designed, … Continue reading Random Thoughts →

I've been off all week. You'd think I had time to think big thoughts. Wrong. I did get a lot done. Mostly prepping this house to sell and fuck off outta here. I scouted some places, all of which look good. Upside is I can rent a place for about half of what I'm paying … Continue reading Random Thoughts →

I'll leave that there. It's a sore subject with me. There are ways to do what needs to be … Continue reading Random Thoughts →

Now that the cat is gone, I use a temporary gate to keep the dogs out of the back of the house. I take it away when I get up, so they have the run of the place. I'm not used to a cold wet nose on my ass when I'm standing at the sink … Continue reading Random Thoughts →

Beorn is dying. Absolutely heartbreaking. Dusty in here... Is it SAFE? AWA at Gunfree zone covers first aid kits, when to rotate stuff. Aesop has an encyclopedia of this stuff. Start here. I need to refresh my kits both in the car and in the garage. I have a massive kit in my pantry closet … Continue reading Random Thoughts →

Busy week. Lot of work. I feel like I'm in the IT equivalent of having to peel a dump truck full of potatoes. Very tedious. We really are entering an age of stupidity and competence. Found this at GunFreeZone: How in the name of Zeus’ wrinkled ball-sack, do you raise a child who does not … Continue reading Random Thoughts →
