Sorry about no new posts…thinking something to do with Imitrex has made me pretty sick and I haven’t even felt like getting up, much less post anything.

Ok, to hell with that earlier whining. Here’s something you nerds ought to enjoy. I settled for an associate’s level in electronics, preferring to focus on optics/physics, [...]

I don’t know if a muse aids art or just writing. Doesn’t matter. Inspiration wanders by so you grab it.
After several days of this bitch-kitty of a headache, I decided I was going to try to bring the visual to life. Below is my mental image (more or less) of the damned [...]

Some of you have known that over a year ago I was rear-ended (rather, my car was hit, by another car, while I was in it, McGoo) and then hit the car in front of me. Since that time, my activities have been severely curtailed. Lots of painful procedures, chronic pain in general, couple [...]

Some love guns (I do), some love Afghan Hounds (I don’t), some love fine cheeses (I do), some love shows about interior decorating (I don’t) and some love knives and swords (I do I do I do). You’ll probably notice at some point that I love the tanto style blade. Not apologetic for [...]

Yeah, too cool.
Right up until you read that there is no way to prove a damn thing because they can’t track it.
Oh.
Well why the hell didn’t you just take the money and go find the best sushi house in the country and invite the neighborhood? [...]

Snow snow snow. Spent a half-hour in nearly single-digit cold digging yet more snow off of our already snowy and frozen driveway. Managed to earn a day filled with exquisite pain after aggravating my neck. Knew it might happen but somebody has got to do it. It could be worse, though! [...]

… and I said this to my wife in that cringing “please don’t hurt me” tone of voice. Of course I hadn’t shown her the magazine or the picture yet.
Her response was a frosty “Only if I meet her first.”
The woman can put 5 out of 6 shots with a .357 Highwayman into the [...]

We’re finally getting some warmer temperatures in the MidWest and the snow is melting a bit - not a moment too soon as far as I am concerned. The last three snowstorms I have spent more energy trying to get the snowblower started that I did when I gave up and shoveled the drive [...]
