Went and saw “The Mule” this evening. Got to say, I do still enjoy Mr. Eastwood’s stories. Glad to see he’s still got it at age eighty-eight (director, producer, and star). … [Read more...]

Wow, talk about being motivated. Did four to five errands this morning - yeah, I know, it’s not that big of a deal. But, it’s the simple things...lol Now, I’m going to sit down for a couple of hours and re-watch Amazon’s Jack Ryan (for the third time), before going over to the project bench to start work on either a new kit or finish one of the incomplete builds (probably a new kit!), having … [Read more...]

It’s Friday! I have the day off! And, I was actually able to sleep an hour past the usual wake up time! [yes, it’s the little things in life that excite me] Got so much to do today, hopefully the energy level will keep up with the motivation level, and today’s accomplishments will number in the hundreds! [ok, maybe we’ll try for just “dozens” of accomplishments] First things first: let’s … [Read more...]

So, I received a nice email inquiry from a special friend of mine just now. Here it is in its entirety. My response is below it. And, basically, I’m not just apologizing to my friend, but to all of you. ==== Brian, This afternoon I went on to facebook. My feed was overwhelmed by dozens of "Brian Williams shares a memory." Barely anyone else's posts got through. Do you do this? Is there a … [Read more...]

I had a simple choice: I could either fly or drive to Appleton. The inner voice (over the shoulder), speaking in my ear said, “hey, let’s drive, it’ll be fun”. Last time I’m going to listen to that little jerk, let me tell you. Honestly, if I can do 700 mile/12 hour drives to Detroit (and back), I should be able to handle a 285 mile/4.5 hour drive. I am just beat. The first couple of hours were … [Read more...]

What is it about me that dislikes going to get my haircut?? Been needing one for a week or two, but it’s always a struggle - ok, not always, since there have been times when I was getting my hair cut by the same person for years, and I didn’t dread going then. It’s just when I’m going to these non-appointment salons where you get a “new/different” person each time you go, that is when my … [Read more...]

Ordered something from Amazon the other day, it arrived last night, didn’t have to pay shipping due to Amazon Prime service. Item cost me ~10 bucks. It’s the wrong size (my fault, not theirs). Was about to return it, learned it was going to cost me $6 bucks to do that, as well as a trip to the UPS store. So, I can either order the right size version, and not return the wrong size, essentially … [Read more...]

Lump on a couch tonight. But here is a short story for you, before I turn on Season two of “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” (Amazon Prime). I went to the newly remodeled Tar’get tonight after work for the first time since its reopening (of a few months ago). The store went from being a “Target Greatland” size, to a “Super Target” size. We actually have two Targets in AV, the one furthest from me … [Read more...]

“He smiled up at Brigit from his seat beside the bed, her ample bosom framing her pissed-off expression perfectly. She was not a bad looking woman, truth be told; a couple of years older than himself, short brown bobbed hair, decent figure –she wouldn’t be launching a thousand ships any time soon but she’d undoubtedly create a fair bit of interest in a chip shop queue”. ==== “Launching a … [Read more...]

Broke my last spare pair of reading glasses an hour ago. Big sigh. I knew I should have gotten the two dozen value pack. 😱🙄😉🤓🙁 Well, I’m off to either CVS, or Sam’s Club. Fortunately, last night’s snow storm is over and the roads have been cleared, and it’s a balmy 30 degrees out there. 🤓 … [Read more...]

true story. Ok, it’s not my true story, but someone’s, maybe, I think. I was at a local bar when a woman at a table a few feet away from me sneezed and her glass eye came out and I caught it. I handed it back to her and she popped it in and said thank you. She was a beautiful woman. Gorgeous face stunning body and a beautiful smile to boot. The woman of my dreams right in front of me. A few … [Read more...]

Feet, in bed, in the middle of the night, are just like dogs, as soon as you let them out (from under the covers), they want to come back in again. In, out, in, out - MAKE UP your mind, darn it all! 👣🔥👣⏳🌬👣⏳🌋👣⏳⛄️ 🗿🚧🗿🚧🗿🚧🗿 🙁😱🙄😉🤓 … [Read more...]

So, Brian, how did it go this morning, making your first loaf of bread?? Uh...I couldn’t get my lazy butt out of bed to go buy the pre made Bread Making machine mix... 🚫🥖🍞🥖🚫 🙄🧐🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁 (infinite sadness - JK) … [Read more...]
