I hate bloggers that beef about the interfaces being changed. But FFS, I started typing today and the @!_($)!@_$ interface went nuts. Why? Why, Oh Lord, do they change this stuff? Back to the subject at hand. When my kids first started working, I gave them a few simple concepts as advice: Show up when … Continue reading Starting Work.

Victorinox Chef’s knife.
I worked out in the field doing real work for nearly 30 years and I've run into two different types of trades dudes in that time. There are the guys that buy the cheapest tools they possibly can, with the reasoning that somebody's going to steal them so why bother spending any kind of dough. … Continue reading Victorinox Chef’s knife.
Things Never Change
Saturday the wife and I went to mass, masks and everything. It was worth it. I've missed it. The first reading was from Micah, chapter 2; Woe to those who plan iniquity, to those who plot evil on their beds! At morning’s light they carry it out because it is in their power to do it. … Continue reading Things Never Change
Politics is stupid…
Politics is getting really stupid these days. We have many, many politicians that have no clue how anything works. And worse yet, no clue how their constituents live or what is important to them. Could be the Dunning-Kruger effect. Although more than likely, It's a combination of all of these factors. And, as we've seen … Continue reading Politics is stupid…
Bad Grammar
I'm not the best writer in the world. I know this. But it's also not my job. But I read a lot. Have for years. I have to do it professionally, I do it for entertainment. So I really appreciate good writers. If you write for a living, a journalist maybe, you should have some … Continue reading Bad Grammar
[Screwit] I’m old. Gimme free [stuff]
The actual line is; "Fuckit, I'm old. Gimme free shit", from Justin Halpern's Sh*t my Dad Says." Pretty funny book. That said, I don't feel old. But there's been a lot of "huh...wonder why they said that" going on with me. For instance, I've had a few older ladies, at social functions, ask me "Are you … Continue reading [Screwit] I’m old.

That was one big assed storm
My city got battered by the most intense storm I've ever witnessed Sunday. That said, I've been through tropical storms, including some good Texas ones, but I've normally slept through them. What's funny is nearly zero of the smart tech devices I have gave me any warning whatsoever. We went to Mass, then breakfast. All … Continue reading That was one big assed storm
Updates
Whoa! it's been quite some time since I've added anything here. I was overcome by events. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. So, let's start. Behold, the end tables, which I have as the main pic up above. They came out OK. One thing I'd like to add about Harbor Freight from my … Continue reading Updates
Stalwart Mouse Sander
To be honest, I had no idea what this thing was called. I bought it cheap at Harbor Freight. and had to go look at the box to figure out anything about it. Here's the deal. I'm a tool snob. If it's something I use a lot, or use professionally, I'll buy the best. That's why … Continue reading Stalwart Mouse Sander
The Media in general, these days.
I don't read newspapers anymore. Nor do I watch network news, or even cable news. Why? They lie. And it's too much work to figure things out. You have to visit many internet sites, and see a bunch of media before you eventually get the gist of what happened. The clue here is to hit … Continue reading The Media in general, these days.
