Pond Maintenance

I knew when I bought this property that the pond would need some maintenance.  It’s mostly spring-fed, but does have an additional stream source running through it.  The aerator serves a purpose beyond making a pretty fountain in the middle, when we turn it on. Now that we have a nearly indestructible rowboat, we got […]

Nicky posted on his public FB page that he’s moving to Florida at the end of next month.  Considering that this was posted over a week ago, it seems like an awfully leisurely packing job he’s planning.  Most people can pack up the entire contents of a four or five bedroom house in half that […]

Willie Mosconi

I managed to find the two Mosconi books my husband had in one of our bazillions of bookcases.  The one from 1948, reprinted in 1959, is way too elementary.  The one from 1965 is much better.  They’re both about playing pool/pocket billiards.  I don’t aspire to that level of proficiency, but it’d be nice to […]

Dar

Generally speaking, folk music isn’t my favorite listening, and I disagree with her leftie politics, but Ms. Williams has a good voice.  That is why I paid for tickets to see her live.  I’m reserving judgment on her live performances for now, but there’s a reason the Winery keeps booking for two nights in a […]

She Did it Again

Bitch kitteh is gonna bitch.  Purr, purr, purr, pounce!  She missed my eye, but came close.  She’s on double secret probation. Our other kitty would never dream of clawing either one of us.  This one is just kind of special, that way.  Dammit, girl, get with the program!

Pool Table

Getting a pool table for the basement rec room/bar/man cave isn’t as easy as you’d think.  By comparison, the kegerator was easy peasy.  A brand new 8′ slate pool table is expensive!  But, I wouldn’t want one that has some sort of wooden or composite table below the felt that would warp if the humidity […]
