The Eve of a Perfect Storm

Folks, this evening we sit on what I will call the eve of a perfect storm. As we fill our night with Netflix and Facebook, the world we once knew is dying. Pre-covid. Pre-masks. Pre-lockdowns.

My oh my!

AT games arcade

Picked up this nifty little arcade game controller at Sam’s club last night. Charged it up and played a few games tonight with the kids. Comes with 150 games built in. Mostly old arcade games from the 70’s and 80’s but still pretty fun. Controller feels high quality and reacts reasonably.

Gas on the Rise, Again

I see gas took another 10 cent jump yesterday afternoon brining the price per gallon to $3.49. Diesel quickly followed suite and raised to $4.15 a gallon, a modest 4 cent jump compared to gas. I recently purchased an old Ford diesel pickup to replace my Chevy Duramax which I sold a few months ago. […]

More Hours in a Day

I would like to find a way to somehow get more hours into a day. If you have found an acceptable solution that doesn’t involve vast amounts of speed or other illegal drugs and does not induce sleep deprivation, please contact me immediately. On a more serious note, you can probably guess I’m as busy […]
