…since – I’m sorry, ML, but “Laddie” is just a dumb name for a dog. Hell, why not “Rover?” Or “Rex?” He answers to Laddie so that’ll probably stay, but in my heart I’m going to call him Torso Boy. … Continue reading →

I’m still having email issues, but I just got off the telephone with the service guy who did the work and he says he’s been done transferring files and database for some time. So we’re back! I…guess… Since personal computers … Continue reading →

We went on our regular Monday morning water run, only to find a sign on the food store door saying the water machine was out of order. Bother! That meant Plan B… …the vending machine outside the convenience store. 35 … Continue reading →

Oh, I love that phrase – especially on the morning of what promises to be a quite rainy Sunday. Yesterday Landlady and I spent several hours cleaning out Ian’s powershed, preparatory to mounting a door. I hauled two full wheelbarrows … Continue reading →

Today’s big project is cleaning out Ian’s powershed prior to fitting it with a door… It’s been that way since we built it in 2009 and you can imagine the rat situation. It contains the power system but we also … Continue reading →

A couple of Generous Readers, emphatically including Big Brother, seem to fear I’m going to starve! All this is from BB: I’ve got snackies to last me the month – or until 3PM today if I left it out, so … Continue reading →

Yesterday I took the big cage out of the chickenhouse. I left it in there with the door propped mostly closed so the pullets could get to their own chick food without being hassled by hens, lest the hens eat … Continue reading →

…if you’re a #resistance prog who got caught doxxing republican senators, that is. If you’re a republican nominee for the Nine Nazgul, fergetaboutit. You dirty pedophile. Cosko’s defense attorney, Brian Stolarz, told Fox News his client acted alone. “We all … Continue reading →

I’ll have to re-do this once I find better-looking hardware, but I don’t know when that’ll happen and Winter Is Coming. Eh. It works. Unfortunately, I have learned the terminal limitation of my beloved cordless drill… Been using it near-daily … Continue reading →

Early last night at the cattle watering station… And then two and a half hours later this big boy showed up briefly… I knew they were around – I even know they come around the watering station because of the … Continue reading →

I’d forgotten all about that, never having been more than peripherally aware of it to begin with. But I got a phone call from a neighbor around 10, asking if I’d gotten this FEMA “emergency alert” text. I said no, … Continue reading →

This “break in a new dog” thing is requiring more adjustment than expected. I did not see this coming… This happened yesterday evening, and it gave me a real pang. What am I to say about a dog that doesn’t … Continue reading →

And raining, and raining. All night long. Some tropical storm over Mexico, says the Jeep’s radio. Insert nonsensical rant about illegal aliens.

I really don’t know how people in rainy places put up with it. It’s barely even raining raining. Just dripping. Once in a while it’ll briefly rouse itself to work up a light rain, then slump back to dripping. It’s … Continue reading →

Sorry, not much going on around here today. Went to town for the Monday morning water run, during which nothing much exciting happened. Earlier Laddie and I went for what by recent standards was a pretty long walk in the … Continue reading →
