The Winter Care And Feeding Of A Ruger GP100
03/07/2025 – I’ve been trying to read a bit, as I sort of hate TV. However, even that seems to lead to conflict and discord. The Summa Theologica, Proof 1 suggest that Issac Newton may have plagiarized the work of Thomas Aquinas, work that predated Newton by four hundred years. […]
Branching Out. Going Out On A Limb. Taking a Bough?
02/26/2025 – A heavy ice/snow storm managed to fracture a large bough on a very old walnut tree rooted into the slope next to the driveway entrance. Normally, I would turn a blind eye to the dangling limb until warmer weather came around, or the UPS truck took it down, […]

01/02/2025 – Just as a catch up, I sat on the sofa and pretended to watch TV for two years, decided to jump start and almost end my life when I decided to renew my interest in motorcycles, Brought my old pickup truck up from Texas during hurricane season, cleaned […]

This Could Be The Last Time. Maybe The Last Time. I don't Know... Part 2 (URL is definitely correct this time!)
10/27/2024 – Just walked back from the mailbox. Every little bit of exercise helps. Those leaves did not spend a whole lot of time in their colorful transition from green to the pile on the ground autumn brown. I intended to toss the camera gear in the truck and drive […]
Does Procrastination Drive Spending?
10/24/2024 – It’s not like I don’t like my generator. In fact, I love it. Whole house, shop and well… empowering, it has kept up going through multiple week long power outages, preserving both us and Biden priced groceries, and without hesitation in the most bitter winter weather. As an […]
An Inexpensive CC Holster
10/16/2024 – Normally, if there is any such thing as normal these days, I would post this to Facebook as a brief comment. Unfortunately, the mental blanks at Facebook saw fit to remove our 2 million follower firearm publication page, all for the crime of posting pictures of firearms. I […]
