I was able to log some hours at the R-Bar tonight, and not only did I get some free samples, but my tab was picked up too – I helped the bartender – a good friend – move a bookshelf. Anyways, outside of the usual High Lifes, here were my comps: Hibiki – “A… Continue reading Not quite my “drunk post”

Two (times nine) Minutes to Midnight
Again I find myself writing up a post at the almost last minute. NaBloPoMo has been a good exercise – gotten me to get off my ass and write about things that are long overdue – but I’m pretty much done. I just feel that at this time, I’ve exhausted my post pool. I guess… Continue reading Two (times nine) Minutes to Midnight
What a difference a year makes
So, a year a go, this happened: I can’t believe that was a year ago. Time flies.
It’s Goddamn Electric
So, the A/C guy came by Saturday. Saturday! Turns out, his company is no longer a subsidiary of Dial One – I can let my little dinky back-up switch go for that. All perceived grievances are now annulled. While he was here, I had him look at the front unit that had frozen up the… Continue reading It’s Goddamn Electric
Well, if it’s gonna be that kind of party…
Bea and I went to a party at Jonah‘s house this afternoon, and sure enough, some guy ended up on the floor with his pants full of pee. Of course, that guy’s age is measured in months, not years or decades, and that seems to be the road we’re on. Not that I mean that… Continue reading Well, if it’s gonna be that kind of party…
A Different Kind of Hurricane Prep
At some point yesterday, the A/C for the front of the house froze up. When we finally realized this, I killed the A/C, made a mental note to go get a new air filter, and moved on. I decided that even though it was about 85° in the front, I’d still sleep upstairs – the… Continue reading A Different Kind of Hurricane Prep
Several Levels of Failure
I know several things went well today, I’m just going to harp on what went wrong: Truck needs an oil change/transmission fluid/pretty much every fluid change. One of the big 5-drawer tool chests is pretty banged up. Waiting ’till above is done to return. Hopefully tomorrow. 4 trips to Lowe’s today, got almost all I… Continue reading Several Levels of Failure
Indy, the “Heartworm Kid”
Last November, my friends Jason and Sarah rescued a starving, dirty, smelly, but utterly lovable from the street and named him “Stinky”. After posting up pictures to his blog, we dropped by Sarah’s house the very next day (Thanksgiving Day) to take a look at him and introduce him to Boz – our dog to… Continue reading Indy, the “Heartworm Kid”
Organizzle Fo Shizzle
If there’s any one thing (and there’s not) that’s holding us back from that “done” feeling for the house, it’s the back room. The back room, by itself (~17′ x ~34′), is just about as big as Bea’s old house and more problematic. It’s been de-junked, gutted, there’s been leaks upon leaks, the flooring has… Continue reading Organizzle Fo Shizzle
Travel Day
I know this is another non-post, but I think I get a little slack as it was a wedding weekend, and I officiated. Today was an almost complete veg day. We watched some T2 while getting ready to check out from the hotel this morning, and managed to snag our first Mississippi geocaches on our… Continue reading Travel Day
