Our own local village idiot, Jasmine Crockett is running for the senate. That'll be fun. I think she's doing this because the supreme court blessed the Texas redistricting plan, and she's out of a job, if memory serves. I think there are three up for the Republican side; the incumbent John Cornyn, Ken Paxton, and … Continue reading O Goody!

My iPhone offered this as a wallpaper: Black and White really makes you focus on the detail. It was a cool image in color. In B&W I find it stunning.
Puttering
It's been tough getting back to work this week. I've had little time for farting around. I don't use Facebook for much. Mostly, I use it to keep track of my friends that post there, monitor a few feeds of things I find interesting, and post funny memes I've harvested from my surfing. I posted … Continue reading Puttering
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

On Getting Old
Found this on Irish's place awhile back, thought I wrote about it, but I didn't. And here’s the kicker aging hits men differently than women, and it’s almost always framed negatively. Women get “wine nights,” “self-care Sundays,” and “50 & Fabulous.” We men on the other hand hit 40 and it’s dad-bod jokes, hairline memes, … Continue reading On Getting Old

Range Report
Finally got to the range to try out the new pistole. That's my wingman taking aim. Those guts and headshots? They are my new bodyguard and my M&P shield .45, one handed. Man, that .380 barks. Shoots really well though. I brought my Bodyguard 2 (.380), Shield (.45), Buck Mark (.22) and my Bulldog (.44). … Continue reading Range Report
It’s About Time
Back when I first got Winston, he had a bit of separation anxiety. He chewed stuff. Like these: That's not an inexpensive pair of ropers. Look at the doofus in the background. I've just been wearing them anyhow. My pants leg covers them. But now, the soles are worn. They've had at least one new … Continue reading It’s About Time
