I missed this whilst driving to Plano the other day: The old girl passed 100K. It runs beautifully. My only complaint is that there's so much space inside, it takes both the front and rear air awhile to cool down. Works better when I use a sunshade, and open the windows an hour or two … Continue reading A Momentous Event.
This is How They Do It
Windows 10 is being discontinued. Microsoft is working hard to make sure your computer is now useless unless you subscribe to Windows 11. I got an email earlier this month warning me, yet again, that no updates would come after the (I think) October date. You could, however, purchase your own 3rd party security, which … Continue reading This is How They Do It

Kill the Pork
The USPS is having problems with it's new, custom, delivery vehicle. Like they barely have any of them to replace their decrepit LLVs that are still rattling and clattering around. A $10 billion contract awarded by the Biden administration for the production of 35,000 electric vehicles (EVs) to replace the U.S. Postal Service’s (USPS) aging … Continue reading Kill the Pork
Spoke Too Soon…
The other day I was chirping about adding a Friday run. Turns out Nemesis may have appeared to deal with my hubris. After Friday's runs, my legs and calves are tight. Usually it goes away. This last Monday, I didn't get out to run until later, and things had heated up pretty good. Meh...I went … Continue reading Spoke Too Soon…
Creating a Monster
I’ve been testing barefoot runners on Fridays, when I don’t usually work out. It’s a short run, about 1.5-2 Miles. Enough to warm up and enjoy, but not enough where it’s a beating out in the heat. Thursdays, after I lift, I’d have a sense of peace and accomplishment. I’d get a little euphoric that … Continue reading Creating a Monster
DC Update
Funny stuff, this Trump takeover of law an order in DC: https://youtu.be/w7UczUOIKjw?si=OTNnIpux9EwD4hHw I love the shrill white karens squawking about black men here. Like he said, she ain’t been black a day in her life. The beginning with the retired UPS driver is epic. No bragging, just appreciation for the ability to go downtown without … Continue reading DC Update

No matter how hot it gets, both pups will go out to catch some rays, then come in and snooze on the tile floor.

It's all … Continue reading Saving DC from Itself
Running Barefoot
I run a few days every week, about three miles. Usually I take Fridays off to start my recovery. I am, after all, an older gentleman. A few years ago, we had a physical therapist, sports variety, speak at the Church. His big thing was zero drop shoes, how you should have shoes that allow … Continue reading Running Barefoot
