Around 3pm this yesterday, I’d expect that my friends…ya know…the ones that owe me favors or just seem to always be there to help…all looked up at the same time, shivered, and said something along the lines of, “I’ve felt a great disturbance in the force…”
See, I’ve a project in mind…and I expect I’ll need [...]

Well, it’s time. The end of the year approach(ith)…and that means interesting things in the newspaper industry.
Let’s see, it means we’re busy. Lots of advertisers and sales and news to accompany it.
It means we’re frantically trying to get too many projects done. Some started due to the budgetary cycle (management suddenly deciding to spend money), [...]

So, money’s tight…at least, that’s what the media and the prospective presidential candidates are striving to convince us of.
Many folks, including us, are tightening our belts a bit and doing our best to cut down. The news is downright scary. The stock market is down a bunch. Folks…GOOD folks, are getting laid off. 401 K’s [...]

Another step forward in my evil plan MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Okay, well, maybe not an evil plan. Heck, maybe not even a plan…but it’s a step forward.
“Which evil plan?” the alert reader may ask…seems I usually have several in the works.
Three of them actually. Progress forward in all three this week.
More later.

Something over 300 years ago an English poet named Alexander Pope said, “Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.”
I’ve always liked the quote…simply because to me, it means “No limits.”
Angels have no fear, you see.
I’ve always tried to live my life without fear. Mostly, I’ve succeeded. I’d like to think so anyway.
No fear. [...]

Interesting dealings are afoot…muhahahahaha! Yeah, that’s the good news. I’ll tell you about it later.
The bad news…I’ve got friends from the coast with homes that are damaged or destroyed. Some are minor…trees down and some lost shingles, some are more serious…missing roof and destroyed interior…some…well, some are just plain missing. One text message from [...]

About Saturday’s post…Yep, we’re going back to take another look.

Not sure why we torture ourselves so…
After all, if we weren’t looking, and didn’t find anything we liked in an (barely) achievable price range…then we wouldn’t be agonizing over decisions.
Hopefully, looking at it again will clinch things…one way or another.
I shouldn’t sweat the risk…after all, life [...]

Must my reach always exceed my grasp? Must my dreams always push me beyond my current capabilities? Finiancial, equipment, time, market, employment…always, something is just not quite there.
Yeah, a dream is available. Yep, I could probably swing it for the purchase. It’s a small, friendlier town…off the mains…the perfect place to carry out my writing [...]

Our dishwasher was recently recalled. And by recalled, I mean they sent a repair guy out to replace the inner door panel and a bunch of wiring. This had to be done because, apparently, if we ran it just right…it would clean the dishes so thoroughly that it would burn the house down.
I don’t really [...]

Check out this gate!
I love this concept.

Thanks to Jim Murtagh for the pics!
Hmmm….
Plasma Cutter———check
Welder—————-check
Cut off saw———–check
Steel, muscle, blood—check
I’m thinkin’ I’ve just gotta build something like that. Now, if I can just figure out where I need a massive gate…
