I have a closed pipe under my Shower and it won't drain. I tried everything I could and then got professional help, but they couldn't do it. So now, I have the local plumbers coming out tomorrow. Another day off work. At least, I have time to cover it. I still feel guilty for not going to work. The snow has been coming down fiercely today. I spent some time trying to plow with my small atv and am getting worried because the driveway is getting more and more narrow. I should be okay becau... [Read more]

Lady, it's cold outside. Thankfully, I had my Carhart jacket, which happens to be over 20 years old and seen a lot of use. It was only supposed to be -13 but hit -17. I had to shovel a path and remove some food stuff to my compost area. I also had to feed the birds. Somehow, my mother's voice stuck with me over the years about responsibility and that I can't feed them only when it was convenient for me. So, like a good boy, I got out in uncomfortable weather and put feed out for the... [Read more]

Today, I received confirmation that I am an Audible addict. I received notice from Audible about my 2025 listening history, and it was very encouraging/disturbing (in a good way, of course). I can't see the whole note on my phone because the page won't shrink or turn, but it basically says (last year) I listened to 90+ books, with an average listening time of 171 minutes per day and the longest day was May 2nd with a listening time of 10 hours 57 minutes. It also said I did not miss a si... [Read more]

I can't get my chores done because A.I. isn't programmed to do it! Sounds dumb, doesn't it? Blame it on the news. The news, when viewed irresponsibly, can be blamed for much of herd mentality. I am not going to claim I know the best of everything; I would just like to put forward that people should learn to think for themselves, at least. Crap. Now I sound like what I often hear in the news! I am so confused. I just picked up a new book called "Slime Keeper". I think I wil... [Read more]

Since tomorrow never comes, I am ready for it! No matter, now I need to be ready for today. The news has been a bit bleak of late. Threats, threats. Then there is the feel good news like sending people on a trip around the moon. I am not quite sure the purpose of that except to find out how much radiation they soak up. Look, Mom, I didn't die yet! Don't mistake me, I think space travel is so very important for the human race. My thought is that we are so very young, so very young. Use... [Read more]
