Darker
I HATE (notice the bold, underline, and italicized nature of that word) the time change. It gets dark way too early and makes everyone in my household feel tired and worthless. Getting dark is not always bad though. It leaves inside work that was put off because of it being nice and sunny available to be…

Time Changes
I never fully understood why we change the clocks twice a year other than to throw everything out of whack. It does not save any energy in my house. I’m still home during the same times. It is usually light by the time I leave and light when I get home. In the later parts…

F*** That Hurt!
Within the last week or two, a decent sized tree came down on the electric fence. The fence is off with nothing being in that area. I cut up the tree, inspected the fence, and found that only two wires came undone. I re-crimped those wires and began to ratchet the high-tensile wire tight. First…

National Cat Day
Are you kidding me? Don’t get me wrong. I like cats for their usefulness in catching mice and such, but a national day for cats? What the hell? I’ve contributed more to society than catching mice, dirtying a litter box, and making cat ladies look like cats because they are always covered in so much…

Hypocrite
I am a hypocrite. At least I know it. I am one who preaches the dangers of technology and how we should not rely on it so much. In the same breath, I embrace it. I have some of the latest technologies; drive cars that have thousands of times more technology than the Space Shuttles…

Knowingly Being an Idiot
I know a lot of people. I might not be friends with a lot of those people, but I know many. One could ask why I don’t have a lot of friends if I know a lot of people. The answer is simple: I do not like most people. Most people are idiots. They do or…

No 4:00AM
Yesterday’s post was a “first time ever” deal. Today is a “first time in months” deal. It has been months since I have not woken up between 2:00AM and 4:00AM ready to start the day. It could be one of three things. The first was me being exhausted from waking up the morning before at 2:00AM…

For The First Time Ever…
This is the first time I have ever questioned living in Ohio. I have always loved the change of the seasons. By the time each season is ready to turn, I’m done with the last. When I cannot stand winter any longer, spring arrives. Then, summer opens the pool and the heat. By the time…

On a High Note
There were some tough spots yesterday, but it seemed like everything ended on a high note. Most of the framing on the barn is done despite realizing the 2x4s were too short. The oldest’s football team ended the season with a convincing win. They did not make the playoffs, but they did really good for…

Simple Things
Apparently, a lot happens to me. I have more stories than most, at least as of recent. They may not be terribly exciting, but they are a reminder my life is not simple, and not always by my choosing. I never wanted a simple life, but all of this complexity takes a toll. I found…
