It's Star Wars Day! And, also, no review day, since I am still working my way through the books I have in progress. A couple of projects came up and cut into my reading time this week, so things got a bit behind. I will have one next week, promise! Until then, I dunno- go … Continue reading May the Fourth Be With You Friday

Monday Musings: More Moving, and This Time, There Was a Color TV!
But no refrigerators. Thank the gods! Our middle daughter moved this past weekend. The place she was in was taken over by new management and they were upping the rent too much, so she had to find new digs. So, we and three of her friends were conscripted (or "voluntold," as one of them delightfully … Continue reading Monday Musings: More Moving, and This Time, There Was a Color TV!

Monday Musings: New Toys, Spring Has Sprung (I Hope), and My Dumb Writing Mistake
We finally got some decent weather at the end of the week. Saturday was sunny and mid-50's, and the week is supposed to be nice pretty much straight through. The raised garden box is out and full of dirt with the greenhouse cover over it. I put some of the started cool weather plants (still … Continue reading Monday Musings: New Toys, Spring Has Sprung (I Hope), and My Dumb Writing Mistake

Monday Musings: My Google Pixel 2
Yes, I did it. I jumped ship with the iPhone and got an Android phone. It was a difficult decision, because I have had an iPhone basically since I got rid of my old Blackberry many moons ago. I was used to my iPhone. It was comfortable. I knew how to use it. But, to … Continue reading Monday Musings: My Google Pixel 2

Friday Review: Is Not Quite Ready For Prime Time
Mainly because I haven't quite finished any of the books I am currently reading yet. Yes, I am a slow reader. I will have one next week. Meanwhile, it's finally starting to warm up around here. And I got a new phone. I deserted the iPhone ship and got a Google Pixel 2. Jury's out … Continue reading Friday Review: Is Not Quite Ready For Prime Time

Tuesday Thoughts: Got To Move These Refrigerators
But, alas, no color TVs. Actually, that's probably a good thing! We decided we needed to get a real refrigerator in the basement. We had a conversion thingie on the smaller of the two freezers that was supposed to keep it at refrigerator temps, but it didn't work all that well. It was either too … Continue reading Tuesday Thoughts: Got To Move These Refrigerators

Monday Musings: It’s a Strange Day
Not only because it snowed again this morning, and there are still some slow flakes falling. Oh, it wasn't enough to make roads anything more than wet, and it just coated the grass, but it was enough to be annoying. It's April now. Can we please get on with Spring! It is also a strange … Continue reading Monday Musings: It’s a Strange Day

Monday Musings: We Can Haz New Toyz! First Impressions of Microsoft’s Surface Book2
We have had an old HP netbook for years. It was a nice little laptop when we bought it, and it served us well for occasional use here at home, and traveling. Unfortunately, as with all technology, things have progressed rapidly since then, and the poor little thing just couldn't keep up. It's become increasingly … Continue reading Monday Musings: We Can Haz New Toyz! First Impressions of Microsoft’s Surface Book2

Monday Musings: It’s So God-damn Cold, It’s Gonna Snow Until June
Of course, that is a quote from Jimmy Buffett's Mañana, but it sure is appropriate these days. It's past the middle of March, and this morning when I came downstairs, the weather station was reading 11 degrees with a "feels like" temperature of 4. That's just not fair to those of us who muster our way through … Continue reading Monday Musings: It’s So God-damn Cold, It’s Gonna Snow Until June

Monday Musings: Okay, Okay, I Give Up!
Last week, we got around 14 or so inches of snow. Roads were cleared quickly and after a day or so, things settled back to normal. Some ice and snow melting off the rooftops, and it's been cold. Tomorrow, we are supposed to get another snowstorm with significant accumulation. You know what? I give up, Winter. … Continue reading Monday Musings: Okay, Okay, I Give Up!
