Another month's gone by. My weight is remarkably stable, deviating only a few pounds either way, and it's been like that for months. I've been better about my diet, but not as much as I should've. I've added creatine supplements to my other vitamin load. The change has been subtle, but I've noticed my weightlifting … Continue reading Getting Fit

Happy Thanksgiving!
It’s going to be a busy day. By the time this hits the interwebs, I'll be running in a 5K in Grand Prairie, my first. After that I need to get back, walk the dogs, and start cooking. I have a friend coming over, along with the girl. I have a lot to be thankful … Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving!
The Lampshade of Shame
Aria had her surgery yesterday. They had her all day "to watch". But in reality, I think they forgot to call me until nearly 5 PM. She was ready to go home. She's supposed to keep this thing on for ten days. At least the Vet said I could take it off if she was … Continue reading The Lampshade of Shame
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
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
Assembling the New Ride
Got around to assembling bike this week, and taking it on a maiden voyage. Oddly, there were no directions in the box. I kind of like that. A pro thing. You should know what to do. There were some instructions on the outside, starting with how to open the box: Apparently I was supposed to … Continue reading Assembling the New Ride
The Loons are Singing
Found on Vox Popoli: There are a couple things that drive me insane. The first is dancing on the graves of the dead, especially if they are innocent, and Charlie Kirk was. His gig was dialog. Look at some of these idiotic comments. Do they really want political discourse to go kinetic? Look at the … Continue reading The Loons are Singing
This is How They Do It
Windows 10 is being discontinued. Microsoft is working hard to make sure your computer is now useless unless you subscribe to Windows 11. I got an email earlier this month warning me, yet again, that no updates would come after the (I think) October date. You could, however, purchase your own 3rd party security, which … Continue reading This is How They Do It
Spoke Too Soon…
The other day I was chirping about adding a Friday run. Turns out Nemesis may have appeared to deal with my hubris. After Friday's runs, my legs and calves are tight. Usually it goes away. This last Monday, I didn't get out to run until later, and things had heated up pretty good. Meh...I went … Continue reading Spoke Too Soon…
Street Tucker
Bush tucker, also called bush food, is any food native to Australia and historically eaten by Indigenous Australians and Torres Strait Islander peoples, but it can also describe any native flora, fauna, or fungi used for culinary or medicinal purposes, regardless of the continent or culture. Dogs are amazing creatures. When I'm walking my two, … Continue reading Street Tucker
