  • Refreshing

    Sprinkler A fine way to wash away the grime of construction (though that Great Stuff insulating foam seems to like to stick to the skin.) It’s frickin hot still, and although it’d be nice to talk about something other than the weather—it’s pretty much all one can think about when stepping outside. Thank goodness a…

  • Compulsivity

    Let freedom bling I don’t really have any good reason to update my journal. Things are, well… they’re busy. Busy enough that those extra few moments at the end of the day to write something out just aren’t there. It’s summer, I think that’s a good enough excuse. PS: This lady at Wendys was nice…

  • Whirlygig

    Captiony 10 second exposure of a plastic toy with LED lights that spins on a propeller way up in the air. Great fun when you’re sitting around a campfire drinking cheap beer.

  • Wedding Party

    A stolen moment So I’m eating my soft serve and whatnot after a trip to Best Buy wondering, okay — does my computer like DVD+R’s or DVD-R’s? Turns out, my Mac is quite picky and hates both of this particular variety. I guess I have to buy Apple branded media. (insert grumble) Anyways, this hoooooooge…

  • headlights

    Now functioning again You’d be surprised how well you can get around with just fog lights or high beams. I know, I’ve been doing it for months. Most of the streets are lit well enough in town, but trips outside the city required careful timing to ensure I was only on the road never beyond…

  • Breathing

    50¢ I went to bed congested and woke congested. Tired of suffocating, I decided to take my friend Anne’s advice and get some Afrin nasal spray. A brief chat with Ben and I learned that Afrin is the new tina… Let’s compare! I think I’ll stick with the Afrin. I FEEL GREAT! Okay, off to…

  • Glowing

    Dag I’m pale Playing catch up — I’ve got a blank page for last Sunday and I’d be remiss not to recount the fun I had tilling a garden that day. I can’t say I did it just to ride the little tractor, which yes, that was a big part — but more-so, I need…

  • For reference

    Infrared heat dryer Growing up, I wasn’t so bright when I took electronic things apart — usually breaking them in the process. I’m smarter now, making sure to label things and document before complete disassembly. It’s those silver hairs, I know it.

  • Pavlovian

    A watched pot… It’s April Fool’s Day and in lieu of being funny or original, here’s some quotes about dogs. I gotta work. I’m sure there’s some connection there. “In dog years I’m dead” ~ Unknown “Outside of a dog, a book is probably man’s best friend, and inside of a dog, it’s too dark…

  • The new wine cooler

    Beer with something extra I liken Budweiser to carbonated water. When ice cold, it’s refreshing. I can nurse them and keep my wits through the course of an evening and not end up in the alley with my skirt hiked up and a boot missing, again. I’m not saying Bud tastes good, I’m just saying…
