Car Follies Part 2 (truck follies)
So for some reason, I get it in my brain today to throw the bikes in the back of the truck, and let’s head down to Gateway Park and do some biking. All of that was fine and well and we did half an hour of biking and loaded up the bikes and headed back…

Sorta Sad Day
Today my friend Tony is being buried. Elsewhere today my friend Mike and his family are laying his dad to rest. While death is a natural part of life, it’s not one of the more fun aspects of it. The finality of the loss of a living being you have memories and history and love…

San Angelo, TX
We’re camped out in San Angelo state park in San Angelo, TX. It’s a desolate area that’s next to what used to be a reservoir (O C Fisher lake) named after Ovie Clark Fisher who was a US representative for these parts for 31 years. The lake is at 2.8% capacity. Yes that is a…

Death of a friend
It was an emotional roller coaster of a day. Aside from being backlogged at work and it’s time to get hours in for the last month, the cats had their first vet appointment in about 4 years so they had the full workup and were not happy about it. We got that done and I…

Car follies
I feel bad. I finally talked Sandy into washing her car and she scrubbed a little too hard trying to get one of the stickers off her car and it left a pretty bad mark. I feel like I should have been a little more on top of that but I also don’t feel like…

Met with our remodel architect
We had Hanna Park over to look at and get measurements for the kitchen to remodel. Hopefully, she will be able to provide the direction we need to get this thing started and bring it in on or under budget. I did kind of smile when I was helping her get measurements and remembered roller-blading…

Pre-emergent Sprayed
Beautiful day today, feels like spring is in full effect. Did some tilling and have opened a new front on the battle with the sand burr, we sprayed pre-emergent that is supposed to prevent the stuff from coming back up. Got to use my new backpack sprayer in order to get it down. Also got…
