Big doings around here. The city of Dallas, or rather the people running the Texas State Fair have decreed that no one shall pack heat whilst they eat funnel cakes at the fair. By the way, I tried to find a piece at Dallas Morning News, but it was behind a paywall, of course. The … Continue reading Packing Heat at the Fair
Speaking with the Big Guy
I was forty or so when I learned how to pray. It was about that time that I got an actual answer to a prayer. Growing up, the nuns would tell us to pray. Say these words. Like an incantation. It'll give you an indulgence. It'll scare away the debbil. It'll spring some soul from … Continue reading Speaking with the Big Guy
Gratuitous Dog Pic
I was going to fix that board in the fence door. But Winston likes to keep an eye on the driveway.
Again?
I headed out on the bike for my normal Monday ride at lunch. It was hot as hell. As I crossed the big intersection near my house, I was thinking, "Nah, I don't need a repair kit on the bike. I don't go far enough that I can't walk back. Maybe if I go off … Continue reading Again?
Gratuitous Dog Pic
My good morning stare. Or should I say, get out of bed and feed me stare.
Odds & Ends
Good lord, another week down, and it's already August. I've been hammered at work. I have a project that is overdue, and another that has to be done from ground zero by our customer event in October. It's been a funny week, since I spend most of my day listening to news and podcasts while … Continue reading Odds & Ends
Project Update: The Sanding
I don't know where I'm going with the bass here: I tried to do the black stain then sand thing I did on this guitar: But it wasn't the same kind of wood. So what I got is a stressed look. I think I'm going to use blue tinted laquer, and see where it goes. … Continue reading Project Update: The Sanding
Getting Fit
I tipped the scales at 192 this morning. Probably less, since I wasn't buck nekkid on the scale. So my weight has been stable - +/- 5lbs since January or so. I think it cracked 190 because I've easily added 5 lbs of muscle in my shoulders and thighs. When I returned from vacation in … Continue reading Getting Fit
Check On Your People
Most of the cities around here have codes for upkeep of your property. Plano is especially tough, although I see a lot of crappy lawns around here. But as long as the grass isn't too high (you need grass for that) they appear to leave you alone. More often than not, a nosy neighbor complains. … Continue reading Check On Your People
Let the Games Begin
This is after a week of gaslighting, making Kamala Harris the bestest candidate evarrrr! We are told it was always thus, and the people loved her. Sure. Remember this? https://youtu.be/WabvabWvv8k?si=HZOfLP8F8Kbr4mZX An epic throat slit shanking on live TV. You see, Harris' specialty was locking up soul brothers for weed, keeping them in prison longer than … Continue reading Let the Games Begin
