Pudding Kind of Day
With all the excitement over the past couple of days, it’s time for a little downtime and comfort snacks. I went to Harbor Freight and picked up a rolling stool because I’m old and need help getting up and down from the ground, this means I can just sit and scoot. Now that I say…

Dinosaur Valley State Park
This is where my sister, mom, and I scattered my dad’s ashes on Father’s Day in 2014 (I think) so I’ve actually been here before. Prior to that, I had been to Glen Rose. It was a place where Dad took us and I believe a place he lived in his childhood. I remember swimming…

Yard Cleanup & Camping Prep
We started the day at exercise class. We won’t be back for class on Thursday and Friday as we’re going to be heading to Dinosaur Valley State Park for a couple of days. It’ll be great weather so we should have a rocking time. I also picked up a couple of sheets of plywood and…

Cleaning and Biking
It’s Presidents Day and despite the fact that the presidents aren’t really worth celebrating, it was a nice day. We started the day off getting the house cleaned up a bit which always gets me in a better mood. Then my friend Tim came over and we looked over the plantings and hung out for…

Dirt Bike Pick Up
So our friend Jen left her dirt bike here when she left because there just wasn’t room. I had completely forgotten about it when out of the blue I was compelled to ask my wife about it, after some gumshoe work, it turns out the bike was still here and still in need of being…

Change in the Weather
It got cold again. That’s okay, it’s probably the last blast of winter and while I’m no huge fan of cold weather, it’s certainly cheaper to heat a house than it is to cool it. Was super excited that I figured out how to put music on my watch and then hook my headphones up…

Record Breaking Bike Ride
19.55 miles is my new longest bike ride of the modern era. Sandy and I went biking on the Cotton Belt Trail mostly. We started in NRH and went 8.2 miles west into Colleyville. I was mostly manual on the way out and then e-biked it back. A good time was had by all.

Horn Working Again
The issue reported yesterday with the clockspring replacement has made some progress, it was the connection that I thought so I pulled it apart and made sure that those connectors were properly seated. So the horn is now working but the airbag light is blinking and the VDC/Slip lights are on. I think the latter…

Clockspring Replacement
So the Xterra is due for inspection and I don’t have a horn. Everything seems fine from a fuse point of view and in reading an article on what it could be it said to hold the horn and turn the wheel and if it beeps then you have a clockspring on the way out.…

Perot Museum Field Trip
The KC Chiefs are the Superbowl champs and it was a nail-biter of a game. I was happy about the outcome. While the 9ers were an amazing football team through the season, they just haven’t paid their dues. A big payment was made last night and they’ll be back. Sandy and I went to exercise…
