We have both a gate, and a garage door openers. They really are handy. Pull up, mash the first button, the gate opens. Mash the second one, the garage opens. Keeps the cars, and everything else, away from Goblins. But, they have remotes. And remotes get lost. More accurately, we leave them in the car … Continue reading RTFM
Shoot Me
I'm in a class all this week. Not teaching it. Learning it. It's the same package I'm being tasked to support that tormented me whilst trying to learn it on my own. Turns out, we had the same issues in class, and found the same solution I found, which is the class images are old, … Continue reading Shoot Me
We Don’t Deserve them
Every morning after our walk, the pups play for a solid 15-20 minutes. As long as I'm outside doing morning chores, they are following me around. https://vimeo.com/794689907
Drying Things Out
I got a food dehydrator not long ago. I wanted a decent one. Not a cheap plastic thing with a lightbulb. I've used it a fair bit, making jerky and drying fruits and herbs. You get a chunk of beef on sale, and you can make jerky for a fraction of the cost. Last week, … Continue reading Drying Things Out
End of a Long Week
Had a lot of screen time this week, what with the ice and whatnot. Tax season is ramping up and just as Herself would be in the office late, she's here working. Which the dogs loved. They'll lay around all day and get super animated when she comes home. This week, Jethro has been posted … Continue reading End of a Long Week
Things that hit my funny bone
This morning I was slow to get going and found some funnies at the Bitter Centurian. I think I've said about half of those in real life. #1 and #10 for sure, multiple times. He had a piece on Bill Gates The funnybone quote: “At the end of the day, I’ll be the one who’s … Continue reading Things that hit my funny bone
Welcome to Planet Real World
We're having a bit of a Tech meltdown. I've seen this one before. Got the t-shirt. Been my third, at least. What's different about this one is the sheer number of spoiled tech workers. I've seen videos from Twitter and Google employees. This is the latest one I've seen: https://youtu.be/7sGBLFi_WCI The Twitter one was nearly … Continue reading Welcome to Planet Real World
Scenes from IceApocalypse 2023
We had a 'wintry mix' last two days. Which was really ice and rain. I was telling my collegues that the white stuff you see isn't snow. It's ice, not unlike the 'snow' that's made at a ski resort. Then it rained on top and froze, as it does about once a year here. BTW, … Continue reading Scenes from IceApocalypse 2023
End of an Era
Pat Buchanan hung up his keyboard. The man had a sense of clarity that few have today. I've spent the last 30 years or so reading his columns and books. Some books were epic - like his tome on WW2, which at the end explained how entangling alliances caused us no end of misery. Entangling … Continue reading End of an Era
Let Papa Fix the Flashlights
Some time ago, my brother in law was telling me about having to deal with a chronic sore achilles, and the doctor visits. Dude retired, and got into fitness - running, tennis, whatnot. Lost the dad bod, and leaned out. The picture of health, other than his ankle. After all sorts of test, the doc … Continue reading Let Papa Fix the Flashlights
