Summer is Back, with Vengeance
It was actually a really nice spring in Texas, there was ample rain and the temperatures were mostly moderate. That would appear to be over and coinciding with the calendar solstice, the heat is on. And its not just the heat, it’s the humidity, the fox affiliate called it disrespectful humidity, that about covers it.…

Paying off the Truck
So as I was peeking at finances this weekend one account actually grew to more than a loan account meaning I’m paying off the truck this week. I would be paying it off today but it’s a federal holiday. So tomorrow I’ll head over to BOA and end my 8-month relationship with them. Nothing against…

Happy Fathers Day
It’s fathers day today. Oddly enough if my math is right the last time I saw my dad awake and alive was 10 years ago. My sister and I met him at his house for fathers day lupper (lunch/supper). We had filet and we had to go get a pan to cook it in at…

Dishwasher Maintenance
Almost 10 years since the dishwasher was installed and it starts throwing errors. Honestly if everything were so dependable the world would be a better place. It simply need taken apart and cleaned, had some funky gunk that looked like label pieces from jars and such. Pretty gross but I got it all cleaned up…

Old Friends & New Faces
I got a chance to see my old friend Doug today! It’s been a good 20 years since our paths crossed and by chance, he was heading through DFW on his way to Baylor University in Waco to move his daughter to Boston to continue her studies at Harvard. The years haven’t been bad to…

Best Part of Traveling…
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the best part of traveling is going back home. I’m sitting in the airport in Phoenix waiting for another hour and 15 minutes to board for the 2 hour 40 minute flight back to Dallas. Super excited to be heading home. This was the first time…

Another Record Falls
Normally one would think of vacations as relaxing affairs that soothe the mind, body, and soul. Mine don’t feel like that as there’s a bunch of walking, hiking, swimming, and such. As noted, I broke the step record on this trip too! This one is for the most floors. I live in Texas, it’s flat,…

Step Record Set Again
Yesterday I logged the highest recorded steps at 28,033. This surpasses the previous high mark of 27,110 set on June 18, 2022 which was Brittney’s wedding. So aside from Sandy being with me for the records being set, Mike and Shelly were there too! Today has been a little more chillax than yesterday. I was…
