Could it be him?

I can’t rule out that this is the Jeff Raymond I once knew. From Behind the Black:

South Dakota things are happening. I need to start paying attention to them. I stumbled across this school curriculum issue at PowerLine via InstaPundit. Ignoring stuff such as this is how I ended up having to flee, rather than fight for, Colorado. I must do better, here. I’m still absorbed in the “getting the newContinue reading “Start Paying Attention!”

Size Matters

But so do resolution and aspect ratio. My new monitor arrived, but it doesn’t work well with my old, sad (DVI) computer. This works great: The left monitor is generally RDPed into my work machine, which is sort-of visible behind the Amazon page. The right monitor is for internetty things. This computer is aging; asideContinue reading “Size Matters”

Garage Floor Lies

I’m still irritated when marketing materials lie to me, but it is so frequent that it no longer makes me angry. Instructions that lie, on the other hand, piss me off. Instead of just painting the garage floor, Rustoleum’s RockSolid coating caught my eye. 80 fl. Oz. Kit Cover up to 100-125 Sq. Ft 2Continue reading “Garage Floor Lies”

4 for 40 @ 400

The worst of both worlds, I think. Four small steaks, about a half-inch thick, smoked for 40 minutes at 400 degrees. They were not quite jerky, but definitely dry and well done. The small amount of fat on them was yummy. The six pork chops were a bit thinner and were in for two hoursContinue reading “4 for 40 @ 400”

Cool Tat’

“Things found while looking for something else entirely” needs to be a category. “Serendipity” perhaps?

Pork Chops

This was supposed to be a garage post with a pork chop aside. Instead, it’s the other way around because I’m not confident the garage floor is dry enough to paint, so there’s not much to say on that front. The original plan was to put down the floor coating (it’s not exactly paint) whileContinue reading “Pork Chops”

Sabres

The toothed cats, not the stabby things. Rapid City has a hockey team; two actually. We went to the Sabres vs Hawks game on Saturday evening. It was fun. I’d rate it more fun than an Avalanche game at Pepsi Center – although there was that one time… Glass tickets are certainly more affordable. IContinue reading “Sabres”

Barbie Vac is Back!

I found the Barbie Vac when we were packing and I just tossed it into the moving pile. I’m not a big fan of cleaning the cleaning equipment – vacuuming the vacuum or washing the washer; that sort of thing. We have a use for it, so I cleaned it out (and ordered bags). I’mContinue reading “Barbie Vac is Back!”

Postulated: Dark Shed

I do not see a shed, yet I see evidence of shed-like phenomenae. I shall call this Dark Shed.
