Tale of Two Dogs

It's a stormy start to the week. Each dog handles this differently. Aria, as she's gotten older, doesn't care for thunder. At the first rumble, maybe even, before she goes to her safe spot: In the closet. At first, I worried a bit about this. Then I realized that I took down her crate sometime … Continue reading Tale of Two Dogs →

Gratuitous Dog Pic

Every morning we play fetch with a bone. Then, she sleeps it off most of the day. I got this in my email: I guess they have the actual date, since I entered it on their portal. Girfren is 9 years old. Wow. Zoetis makes Simparica, which is the heartworm/flea/tick preventative thneed they used to … Continue reading Gratuitous Dog Pic →

Getting Fit

Weigh-in this month saw me at around the same weight as last month, a little high. But, near as I can figure it's probably a combination of two things. First is that I haven't been all that diligent about my diet. More fruit, more eating out than I normally do. Second is that I now … Continue reading Getting Fit →

Hate It

I've had a gutful of Microsoft this week, so far. I got the new corporate laptop. Seems like a decent machine, a Dell Latitude. It doesn't have the retina screen like my Thinkpad. On the other hand, I have trouble seeing that high a resolution. It matches the curved flatscreen monitor I use. It has … Continue reading Hate It →

Can't get nothin' done during a thunderstorm here.

Dealing with Pups

I hate puppies. I said this before. Not the canine kind. The human kind. When I have to deal with zoomers, I'm like that old grizzled dog that doesn't want to be bothered by over the top pups. The Zman had a piece on that which resonated with me. Big time. ...The younger generation seems … Continue reading Dealing with Pups →

Ride Report

I had enough. For a number of reasons, I decided I needed two wheel therapy on Good Friday. The weekend was building a suck factor. So that needed to be rectified with some speed. Friday was the only day to do it, since storms were due Saturday and Sunday. The winds were already picking up. … Continue reading Ride Report →

Chonky boi. Homey weighed in at a hefty 89.3 lbs at his visit with the new vet. She has a lab just like him, and gave me some great advice. Honestly, I think if I cut back topping his food I should be OK. We've only lived here three months or so. He gets far … Continue reading Gratuitous Dog Pic →

Best Laid Plans

I took yesterday and today off. Had great plans. First off was to get out on the hotrod and straighten some roads. But I made the mistake of turning on my work laptop to see if they had shipped my new machine. Turns out they did. It was due before 1pm. No problem. FedEx usually … Continue reading Best Laid Plans →

Get ‘er done

I've been driving around with a ceiling console door missing a door since I bought my truck. No biggie. Finally I got to me and I went to find a replacement. Turns out most interior parts for my 25 year old truck are mostly unobtainium. Far as I can tell, F-250s don't come with ceiling … Continue reading Get ‘er done →
