Welcome to June, Greedo ordered first!
I decided to go with a joke picture I found on the Internet adding to the big stink that happened on Game of Thrones, an HBO water-cooler conversation maker I have never seen. I’m not against it, I just have way … Continue reading
May 2019 ends with perfect month #2, for the year!
The records I’m setting just keep on coming! I achieved my second perfect month this year, third ever and longest yet because it was my first 31-day month. On to see if June is successful and I have my first … Continue reading
Longest “official Watch” exercise streak tied!
A somewhat monumental day as I have broken a personal record twice this year. Back in March, what was established at 52 (beating the previous year’s 30) has been tied today but since I’m in good health, I will be … Continue reading
Exceeded 2018’s biking mileage!
Quite a week for personal exercise! First 500 days with the Watch completed, then a million steps for 2019 and now I have beaten 2018’s total of 1180.49 miles. It seems pretty impressive, given last year was when I really … Continue reading
One million steps!
As per the Pedometer app on my iPhone I have achieved my first million steps of just walking and moving around this year. Anything to close the rings on my Watch. Good thing I have 200 pairs of shoes so … Continue reading
Five hundred days cumulative…finally
Too bad this only took me around four years and two Apple Watches to pull this off. Let’s hope getting to 1000 days will happen faster. I’m also curious if any owners who achieved this at some point in 2018 … Continue reading
First thousand miles for 2019
Before I head out to enjoy my three-day weekend of geeking (or is it needing) out at Chupacabracon VI, I achieved 1000 miles on the exercise bike at the gym! A much better result than last year, I think I … Continue reading
1979: Voyagers arrive at Jupiter
Can’t remember what my source was saying that either Voyager 1 or 2 arrived at their first destination around May but one go there in January, the other in July so I’ll just accept May as the compromise, hence this month’s header art! … Continue reading

One hundred days at the gym!
This year is really shaping up, too bad my body won’t follow the lead, I’m continuing to struggle with getting my weight down in to the low 250s. Regardless, I’m back in the zone a la several years ago when … Continue reading
Joe “Foot-in-Mouth” Biden joins the mess
The picture I swiped from Splinter sums up my opinion of the former vice president and his quixotic plans to “rescue” America from the Shitgibbon. I’m confident the failing and rapidly aging leadership of the Democrats has a boner with Bilary … Continue reading
Kitten rescued at work!
With all the negative news given that we live in the Stupid Ages, it’s great to know about an ugly situation ending happily as it did for this kitten. I have nicknamed the uncommon female orange tabby Mela! It’s Italian … Continue reading
Caracas Achieved!
Today was the third milestone via in-door bike! Being more aggressive in 2019 was how I managed to cover the 893 difference. I would this year is certainly shaping up to be the one I really get back into the … Continue reading
Notre Dame (cathedral) burns
The only person who was happy to see this happen would be the embattled, inept and “farts higher than his own ass,” French president Emmanuel Macron. It distracts the French public, including the large number of Atheists, from his failed … Continue reading
First tax refund in years
Hell, I cannot remember the last time got any money back from the IRS since we’ve been on the owing side for a few years in a row. One time it was a painful amount too, in the neighborhood of … Continue reading
Today’s modern idiocy, Sunday 4/14/19 edition
I have yet to write about the cool go-karts at Pinballz Lake Creek but today I experienced one of the new wrinkles smart phones have given us. This one teenager was so busy futzing with the tunes on his phone … Continue reading
