Sometime back, I caught the laziness bug and started ordering groceries online. I started with Imperfect produce, which morphed into Imperfect Foods. I seem to remember when they started that their gig was to sell you the produce that otherwise wouldn't be bought - too big, too small, and whatnot. They've expanded a bit and … Continue reading Imperfect Produce or Misfit Market?
Playing in the Rain
A grautitous dog video. The intense heat of summer broke a few weeks ago with a decent storm, followed by an awesome rainy day. The next week, I was out walking the dogs and it started sprinkling. Luckily, we were on our way back, and nearly every street I use to return home is covered … Continue reading Playing in the Rain
Open Letter to Gibsons
Gibsons is a bakery, actually more of a general store, in Oberlin, Ohio that's been in business for something like 137 years. It's a tiny town, and they are the only sort of store within walking distance where you can buy needful things, other than a Ben Franklin next door to it. They have about … Continue reading Open Letter to Gibsons
All Fun & Games…
Apparently, Biden was crammed full of Adderall and gave a speech last night for the benefit of the 342 people watching CNN and MSNBC. I didn't watch it because I can't stand the man or to hear him talk. I was the same way with Obama. I'd fixate on that head rotating back and forth … Continue reading All Fun & Games…
Finally, it’s working
Saturday, my garage door ended up busted. Busted torsion spring There were none to be had anywhere, so I had to order them. If memory serves, I think I got the last ones I installed on eBay, or some other knockoff site for $50 or so. This time, I simply ordered a decent set from … Continue reading Finally, it’s working
It’s all BS, Part 2
I listen to talk radio every morning as I feed myself and the dogs. Usually, it's Mark Davis on 660AM. I like the banter between him and Mike Gallagher every morning. This morning they had a converstation about how republicans are in trouble over the Dobbs decision. Supposedly Gallagher had 'conservative women' callers from Texas … Continue reading It’s all BS, Part 2
It’s all BS, Part 1
Miguel at GunFreeZone had a great piece up about heating oil. There's a smell to an old city when it gets cold. You have the snap of the air and a faint industrial smell which seems to make the city colder. It's not industry, since where I grew up, Washington DC area, had no heavy … Continue reading It’s all BS, Part 1
Cool
Saw this dude on my car today: I have Mantis', I have ladybugs and dragon flies. There have to be at least a half dozen decent sized chameleons around here, as well as a few ghekos. Love having bug predators getting fat at my place.
Stuff’s Breaking all Over
I was chatting with the fellas while volunteering at the Church this Sunday about doing house maintenance chores. What started the conversation is this: Busted What's that you say? That is a torsion spring. It balances the weight of a garage door. Without them, the door weighs like three tons. I hit the button Saturday … Continue reading Stuff’s Breaking all Over
Jasper Update
I got an update from the family what adopted Jasper. If you want to catch up, you can here, here, and here. I hadn't heard anything since the first two weeks. They had some usual dog adoption things. Jasper is a man's dog, a ferrari. If you aren't a dog person, adopting him is like … Continue reading Jasper Update
