That I’m trying to upload pictures for a slice-of-life post at this very moment and finding it impossible. I really do have a very nice post all laid out but there’s only one bar on the smartphone that’s my hotspot. … Continue reading →

A neighbor is cleaning out a packed long-term storage shed, which is always a dangerous time for me to come near. He had some sheets of clear acrylic and black plastic stuff, and I thought those would be two of … Continue reading →

Look what a Generous Reader sent me! This is a much newer pattern camo than my other stuff. Heavier fabric, too: Might even do for winter wear with longjohns. I always reluctantly give up my BDUs in winter. Thanks! There … Continue reading →

Firewood storage at Landlady’s place has always been kind of an issue. No matter what expedient we cobbled together it either fell apart in the weather or became an elaborate rat nest. Late this winter, to celebrate her nice new … Continue reading →

Thought about it while I was writing the post below, in fact, though I was already boiling chicken for dog food and couldn’t run right out to test my theory. In the previous post I mentioned that I have a … Continue reading →

Grrr. I suppose it was inevitable, though… In the interest of easing myself back into this ‘reloading’ thing I decided to pick up more or less precisely where I left off by addressing a years-old sin of omission. Wideners, which … Continue reading →

There was a lot more of this on the game camera’s mem card and I tried off and on for 2 days to make a more extensive .gif but my up/download speed has been the worst lately. So we’ll have … Continue reading →

I hurt my shoulder in 2016 and couldn’t even work a press for a while. Unfortunately by the time I could get back to it I had thoroughly lost the war against the rats in the old RV I used … Continue reading →

I came out from where I’d been working in Ian’s powershed and scared this guy up on a piece of concrete rubble… Since he didn’t seem especially skittish I went around the other side of the column… Half the size … Continue reading →

I’ll buy locally if I possibly can, and even though the local hardware didn’t stock a timer switch and it wouldn’t save any money I figured it’d still be quicker to order it through them than online from Amazon. 3 … Continue reading →

The local library is closed, of course. They thoughtfully left the wifi on since that’s the only way some people can connect, so there’s usually somebody parked in the lot with a laptop or whatever. And here’s a touch I … Continue reading →

I laughed till I choked. Maybe too much humor isn’t good for you?

Maybe the yellow ones are female? I did not know that. What causes me to suspect this is that after I finished morning chores I stopped the Jeep beside the trashcan corral which is where I keep the gas cans … Continue reading →

This has been my teapot since 2008. Landlady gave it to me shortly after T died, when she was shutting down their fifth-wheel. Before that I boiled water in a saucepan. I replaced the knob on the cover with a … Continue reading →

The trailer ball has been loose on the Jeep’s hitch adapter for quite some time. I’ve tightened it before but this time I let it go for too long, it seemed… I took the adapter off earlier this week to … Continue reading →

I very carefully coated all parts of every positive connector this morning – and some negative ones at first just because I got carried away, though the negs don’t tend to corrode – and now we’ll see if this stuff … Continue reading →

Okay, so the plan was to go over to Landlady’s powershed with an old steel bowl, a box of baking soda and an old toothbrush. I had already prepositioned several gallon jugs of water for rinsing and scrubbing the battery … Continue reading →

Yesterday was the first official bike trip to town of the year. I did it on a freakishly warm afternoon in early February but that was just because I was bored of winter. This morning I actually wanted to do … Continue reading →

I guess you’d have to be familiar with InRangeTV to really get this but I laughed till I choked. The mud tests are a recurring feature of Karl and Ian’s channel – as are shitposts. And when you lock Karl … Continue reading →

Those dogs that were hassling that cow and calf about a month ago. This time they were much closer to Landlady’s place – and they seemed to have it in their heads to hassle me. The weather cleared overnight and … Continue reading →
