Now that we don't have kids at home, we have dogs. These are the first ones we've owned. While the kids were growing up, my thinking was I didn't need yet another being to clean up after. Especially after our kids were potty trained. That and the recollection of the dogs my family had growing … Continue reading Knock it off, you aren’t the Dog Whisperer
I grew up around men who fixed things. And fixed them properly. They showed me the way to do nearly everything, and started with the fundamentals. Things that if you get wrong at the beginning, everything else will be screwed as well. I thought of this as I watched my neighbors fence go up, replacing … Continue reading Fundamentals (part one)
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. Gimme free [stuff]
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

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
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.
I grill. A lot. And when I moved to the new place, I passed along my 20 year old (or so) Weber Genesis to a friend, And now do strictly charcoal in a Weber Kettle, or wood in a smoker. I'm a big Weber fan, since they work well and you can get parts for … Continue reading Weber Rapidfire Chimney Starter
I love car shows. I'll binge watch Top Gear. I'll hit Grand Tour the day the episode posts. I'll watch nearly every episode of a car or bike builder show. So I was plodding around Netflix and stumbled onto "Fastest Car". The premise is simple, throw a random three cars up against a super car … Continue reading “Fastest Car”, Netflix
Random stuff, but mostly about Guns, Freedom and Crappy Government..
