Am I losing interest in eating out?
I seem to be increasingly grossed out by restaurant food lately. Partly because it’s not as good as it used to be and partly maybe because it’s so common and plain. I’m glad I grew up in the golden age of restaurants. Today I went to help my sister buy a new TV and fix her lawnmower. She took me out to lunch at Chili’s. It was my idea. It sounded good at the time. I was imagining having, for an…

Watering trees and charging batteries
It’s August in Texas. That means fugget about it if you want it to rain. It’s the “Hot and dry until we die” time of year. We were lucky enough to get some good useful rain a few months ago but then it just stopped. My beautiful green land is now dead again. The crops failed miserably. Now my full-time job is watering everything and then starting over again. My hopes for this country property…

8 years retired and I still have PTSD from work
It’s hard to believe, that even after being retired for eight years, I am still sent into a panic when the phone rings or a text arrives. I’m sitting there, minding my own business, cool as a cucumber, and then the phone beeps or rings and a huge shot of adrenaline surges through my body feeling like I’ve been hit by lightening. As an IT guru, I spent 35 years on call. Expected to drop…

Studying philosophy - Stoicism
I’ve been interested in the idea of Classical Philosophy for a long time, but never really took the deep dive into it. There’s a time for everything and the time for it has come. Some searching brought me across the book “A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy” by William Irvine. This book turned out to be a very good and mostly concise introduction to Stoicism, which is an…

I may have killed my car
I’m feeling like shit right now. I mean really shitty. Like I haven’t felt in a long time. My 2008 Prius which has served me so well for 18 years has a tiny leak in the air conditioning evaporator coil. I can smell it when I get in every time. It has been like this for a year or so, and I’ve just added some refrigerant once or twice a year. I recently had the geniusly stupid idea to try some…

"I'll come over, and we'll do lunch this weekend." Right!
I learned, a LONG time ago, to never believe anyone when they say they are going to do something. It used to really get me down, but I’ve learned what the reality is. You: I’ll come over this weekend. We can go get lunch.Me: OK.Me: (in my head) Don’t hold your breath. I don’t totally give up, but I don’t really expect it to happen. If anything, I’ll give them until 11am to indicate something,…

I Love A.I.!
I wouldn’t have guessed it, but A.I. Chatbots have been immensely useful to me. It’s especially useful for technical help. Anything that is based on real data and information that is well documented. Of course, you still have to be wary of incorrect information, but for the most part, it’s correct. Today I spent a lot of time with Chat GPT. (Him) He helped me run a battery pack test on my home…

Oy Vey! Hot!
Well, it’s summer for sure. My weather station says it’s 107 outside and feels like 111. I believe it. It’s like a hot blast when you open the door. It’s so humid as well that you feel like you’re underwater and can’t breathe. Have you ever opened the dishwasher right after it was done? It’s like that. Fortunately I got up early this morning to install the replacement brake line on my truck. I…

Road Trip - Car Shopping
Today I decided it was a good day to go look at some cars. I’ve been doing some research and comparisons online but you can’t really get the feel of a car until you see it in person. Of course, there are now BMWs or Porsches in my small town in Texas, so I decided it was worth a road trip to Austin to visit the dealers. It’s only 50 miles. My trusty 2008 Prius and I hit the road. My first stop…

Time Experiment Conclusion
I’ve been 2-3 days now without a visible clock in the house. I can’t really say that it has made things better in any significant way. Days don’t seem any longer or shorter. I’m just constantly confused and wondering what time it is. Routine is a difficult thing to change even if it’s so basic. Routine is a hole you fall into when you have nothing else to do. Night isn’t much better either. Now…

Quick Movie Review - The Kid (2000)
This has to be one of my mostest favoritest movies ever. Disney’s The Kid starring Bruce Willis is amazing and deeply psychologically comforting yet disturbing at the same time. Rusty is an ultra-uptight image consultant who is suddenly visited by an 8-year-old boy who is strangely familiar. Even just the opening scene with the swelling music and the bright red bi-plane flying around Los…

Stepping outside of time
One of my main goals in life is to slow the passage of time. After I retired and left the world of work to live in my little reality bubble, time has very much slowed down. But it’s still passing too fast. Can I take it another step? A number of physicists have said that “Time does not exist.” Yeah, well, they’re dead now. Apparently they were wrong. Time does exist. Life would be impossible…

Today is National Skinny Dipping Day
Today’s the day! Well, for me, every day is the day. July 11th 2026 is National Skinny Dipping day. If you’ve never tried it before, man, you’re missing out. It’s really simple and free too: Step 1: Take all your clothes off. Step 2: Swim. Wouldn’t it be awesome if at least one day a year, it would be 100% legal to be naked while swimming anywhere? Even at public pools, lakes, beaches, and…

Trip report - Nude beach again
I was sooooo bored. All my current projects are either done or on hold. I had a choice: Sit my naked ass on the couch and watch TV all day or take my naked ass to the beach again. I decided a beach replay was better than a TV replay. The weather there was supposed to be mostly/partly cloudy which is the way I like it, so I packed the basics and hit the road. Three hours later, I was at the nude…

Truck Fix - Door lock and radio bezel
Back in 2018-ish when I bought my 1999 F150 truck, it had already been broken into and the passenger side lock was pushed in and useless. I didn’t really care since I was unlikely to ever need it. The door still locked. Who would want to break into a cheap truck anyway? I guess they stole the radio or something. Dumb. During my time, I just let it be. Not a concern. Now that I’m spending some…

Drying up again
We had some nice rain in May and June and everything was a wonderful, vibrant green. Suddenly someone turned off the tap, and it’s hot and dry with no end in sight. It was a nice respite from the drought, but it was just that. Temporary. Now we return to the desertification. There’s no point even watching the weather forecast. It’s just “Hot and dry until we die.” I’m trying to not be depressed…
