We have under a tornado watch with the possibility of heavy rain and wind, so I am going to keep all of this as short as possible. We are having big flashes of lightning, and I don't need my computer to get whacked! I was going to post several photos of what we did yesterday, but they will wait... Sign in to see full entry.

I had some "friends" who just dropped in unannounced and unexpectedly. I'm not a fan of that kind of stuff. I suspect it was a bathroom break, but they were here for thirty minutes and then on their way west. We will try to continue to do more work outside, but it is about 50 degrees with a very...

After an evening and most of the night of steady rain, the sun is out. It's not a warm day, but it is a pleasant-looking day. We will attempt to finish the sidewalk we are building along the west side of the house. This will allow us to get out of the car, walk down the sidewalk, go through a gate,...

Sing Around The Campfire
Good morning. Holy crow, it rained hard here last night for several hours. We had a big fire going as we burned the various parts of trees we had cut down and more yard debris last night. Lisa and I were relaxing as the darkness overtook the day, drinking our Diet Coke and talking about what we had... Sign in to see full entry.

The day got off to a late start. We didn't do much physical work yesterday, but we did a lot of planning. We have been working on at least a dozen different projects in different areas of the house and the property, so yesterday was a day of going to each project area to see what needed to be done...

It's Friday, and while we have a few things on our "Must Do Today!" list, the wife and I have deemed the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday stretch "slack off days." We have been working on and around this place eight to twelve hours a day for almost a year now, and we have accomplished a lot, but we also... Sign in to see full entry.

We'll try that again! I had a power flicker from a small approaching storm that wiped out the post I was about to publish. My ebook, or *Kindle book* as Amazon is now beginning to call them, has cleared technical inspection. This means the "graphic violence" in the story is not *too violent*, and...

I feel much better today than I did yesterday. I think I fell asleep about 8PM and didn't wake up until 9 this morning. I suspect I was overly tired. I finished the re-edit of "Hate My Mother" and then formatted it for Kindle last night. It took a bit to get it like I wanted it to look, but I got it... Sign in to see full entry.

Nothing serious, but things are out of kilter here for reasons beyond our ability to change or fix it. It's nothing serious, illegal, and the cops ain't after me. I'm very much a creature of habit, and my routine has been changed without asking me. This has nothing to do with my wife or family...... Sign in to see full entry.
I can see this is gonna be one of those days where I'll be getting nothing I intended to do done. This is frustrating. Be back when I can. Sign in to see full entry.
