Sandy’s Birthday, day 2 as an ex-smoker
Sandy turns 49 today, she’s in Mexico so I guess I’m not celebrating it with her. I’m now 27 hours tobacco free!!! And I’ve actually figured out how to use the vaporizer I bought 2 years ago with Austin at the CBD store in CO. I’ve still got the blueberry ‘juice’ from two years ago…

3, 2, 1 and then there were none…
So it’s today, about 7 and a half hours ago I became a non-smoker. I’ve been awake about an hour and used the CBD vape to handle the habit of going to the garage first thing in the morning. Still a bit of desire but this whole quitting thing is about mindset. I’m not giving…

Queso – AKA Velveeta Cheese Sauce
I’ve always loved Velveeta cheese sauce and have always been meaning to put down a recipe that I can go to when in need so here it is. It’s a bit more viscus when it comes out of the microwave but it thickens as it cools and sets up perfectly for reheating. 8oz Velveeta Processed…

River Oaks has grown
As Sandy is out of town I was looking for a reason to get out of the house so I met up with Adrian, Rhonda, Hanna and Colter to help Hanna get the rest of the stuff out of her apartment and into the new rental house. After getting completely lost looking for the apartment,…

Amazon still sells books!
I actually got an Amazon order that contained only books today, it’s hard to believe that they actually started as an online book store. Right now I’m a little miffed at Jeff and his crew, I need four monitors for my Linux box and they have the ones I wanted but will only sell me…

Moving Bricks
So there are pictures here and there about the pavers that were laid out to provide a work area for building the shed. Well now it’s time to pick them back up so I can run the skid steer through without turning them into rubble. There was probably a better way to do this but…

Quitting Smoking
I’ve been smoking longer than I care to remember and it’s time to quit. I’ve got a script for Chantix and should be starting today or tomorrow. To this end I’m introducing a new blog category simply titled Health. The first post will be about quitting smoking and then getting into shape. Here’s to a…

Making Progress
As thrilled as I was at the shed being ‘completely done’ the glory was, sadly, short lived. It began to dawn on me how much work laid ahead to actually make use of the shed. Cleaning off and cleaning and moving the shelving and everything on it from the garage is a daunting task. Made…

Watched – Jakob’s Wife
I’m pretty good at picking some off the wall movies, or maybe that’s just what’s out there these days. This is an odd thriller/horror movie that has a new twist on vampires and the occult, this time the possessed is a preachers wife. Let the hilarity (or gore in this case) ensue. It’s not entirely…
