After not having it for several years, Sandy and I went and got our rec center passes today. For $100 for both of us, we have access to all the equipment and walking track in the AC. We walked for 30 minutes and picked up our passes on the way out (they had used our […]

Sundaze, a hazy shade of summer
I had a decent day, I actually worked all day on school and got it turned in, and spent about 7 hours on it. I turned it in and within an hour I got the notice that it’s deficient:( Three things need to be fixed and at first I was up in arms but as […]

Watched – Firestarter (2022)
I’m not usually a fan of remakes, and this movie makes me remember why. I fondly remember the 1984 movie with Drew Barrymore, it was (I guess) a little more believable or maybe it’s because I was 12 and Drew’s character of Charlie was really cute. That movie seemed to flow right, you sympathized with […]

Roasted Potatoes
I’ve needed a go-to recipe for a potato side dish that isn’t mashed. I’ve done this with red potatoes and even froze them but I’ve never gotten the frozen ones to taste like fresh, go figure… In any case, I started with this recipe and changed it up like so: 1.5 pounds of potatoes. This […]

Sandy’s Birthday
Today my wife turned 50 years old. What different lives we’ve led. We met mom and sister at Pinstripes over off of Chisolm trail. It was a nice place and not too busy, the food was good too.

New Lawn Toys
Happy to put the HomeDepot shinanigans behind me and get the new toy! Don’t have to worry about how much oil, the 2.2 ounces is exactly what it needs. The tool just wants to start and warms up smoothly. The clutch works properly and the attachment bolts on without spinning but once you pull the […]

Local Sports Teams
I had been outside and ran into my neighbor and she mentioned she was watching the Rangers game. I reminded me of visiting my grandmother and uncles house and there was always the Rangers game on. Then my thought train moved on.Fast forward to that evening and I noticed on the news that the Mavericks […]

Home Depot Follies
So the time has come to get a new string trimmer. For starters this triggered another ‘damn I’m old’ episode. I was thinking that I had just got the old string trimmer and looking back, it’s been seven years… absolutely crazy. So I do my research and all things are equal between a Ryobi and […]

Watched – Alita: Battle Angel
I wasn’t really sure when I saw this initially but the trailer pulled me in. It’s a really cute movie with the doe-eyed protagonist one of those you really enjoy cheering for and feeling the lows with her too. The ending is wide open for a sequel and it would make an absolutely fantastic series […]
