And So It Begins…

I signed off my divorce decree this evening. I have mixed emotions about it. I may or may not have anything to say about it in the future. To be honest, what I feel now is mostly pain. I had an upper GI endoscopy where they stretched my throat and esophagus. The damage from radiation … Continue reading And So It Begins… →

Random Thoughts

I'm sitting here smarting after an upper endoscopy today. There's good news and bad news. Good news is there wasn't anything really horrible like a tumor. Bad news, my throat and upper esophagus is scarred and 'hard' with scar tissue from cancer therapy. That won't go away. Ever. So I have that going for me, … Continue reading Random Thoughts →

Missing Jethro

Last night, a little after 1AM, a dude rang my doorbell. I thought I was dreaming. So I went out to look. Yup. Dude standing there in the dark. Screw this I thought, and wondered if I should ignore him or grab my .44 and say hello. He appeared to be an AC tech. Maybe … Continue reading Missing Jethro →

Getting Fit

As I've been being scrupulous about my diet and exercise, I weigh in every month. This week I'm 215 and change. That's 60 lbs from a year ago or so, and 10 under my goal. Why not keep it up? I've increased the length of my 3x weekly bike rides, and I run sprints 2x … Continue reading Getting Fit →

Ready to Sail

Cleaned up the Kayak, best I could. Those two holes behind the seat are fishing pole holders. It also came with a pack accessory for the back. I figured that I wasn't going to bust my ass trying to remove the insulation residue in the cargo space. The only thing that would do it is … Continue reading Ready to Sail →

Winston Update

It's been a great weekend with the new pup. He's getting along with Aria. My son, daughter, and her husband came over last night and he did well with them. He let out a small bark with my son, but then got with the program. That's the only time I've heard him bark. When Aria … Continue reading Winston Update →

Meet Winston

The rescue people brought the boy over, and he gets along great with the Girl. So I adopted him. Meet Winston: He's a cool dog. What is it about male dogs that make them follow you around? He wants to be wherever I am. We'll see how it goes at bedtime. But so far he's … Continue reading Meet Winston →

Random Thoughts

Big holiday weekend. What're you doing? I myself have no clue, since as usual I hadn't realized there was a holiday coming up. Probably clean my guns. Move crap outta here. More than a few years ago, I started a business with a friend. It went nowhere. I used Skype for the business line reasoning … Continue reading Random Thoughts →

Whelp…That went well.

The other day I decided to take a trip to Operation Kindness, a local no-kill shelter close by. I'd been surfing their site for some time and found a few likely candidates for a boyfren for Aria. I had two in mind. First up was Chai: What a sweet face! A year and a half … Continue reading Whelp…That went well. →

Trouble with AI

Our VP is on the AI bandwagon, big time. I get it. We have a provider that is really a startup that's supposed to mash up content and spit out a training course. It works OK, provided you feed it right. The idea here is it'll inhale a technical doc - say an administration guide, … Continue reading Trouble with AI →
