Had big plans for the weekend involving a lot of chores. Most of those got done. Had two great park walks with the pups. They're learning to mind their own business for the most part. Don't start nothin', won't be nothin'. Sadly, not all the dogs people walk there have that same attitude. A rare … Continue reading Weekend Odds & Ends

Fixing some seats – Part 2
Awhile back, I replaced the leather on the bottom of the drinker seat in my truck. I was pretty knackered after that so I figured I'd do the driver seat some other time. Driver seat time wound up being the Independence day holiday on Friday. I headed to my version of the Reclusium, the garage, … Continue reading Fixing some seats – Part 2

A long trip. A blast to Reynosa and back
Rough weekend that I'm glad is over. Long story short, I had to help move the Girl back to Reynosa. She lost her job in January and hasn't had much luck landing a new one. Her best prospects are out of state. I had a coworker at Lucent that was a native down here that … Continue reading A long trip. A blast to Reynosa and back
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
Getting Fit
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
