Today is the big day. Nicky makes the move from Morris, IL, to Pinellas Park, FL. Thanks to Baup doing the research, we have an itinerary of sorts: If I’m reading the Amtrak schedule properly, Nikki is in for a hell of a ride. He has a Six hour layover in Chicago Seventeen and a […]

Concert Tickets and Chickens
Posted in Uncategorized on March 29, 2017 | 2 Comments »
Some people go see movies in a theater. We prefer to see musicians perform live. I bagged tickets to see BoDeans and Al Stewart later this Spring at a venue that is small, cozy, and wonderful. We’ve seen them both before, more than once. Kurt Neumann did a post-concert meet-and-greet, and posed for a pic […]
It’s Aliiiiiiive!

Hat tip: Sabledrake After laying low for a while, I have it on good authority that Nicky’s reared his head once again. He’s been harassing Brian Keene over the past week or two. My understanding is that the gist of it is some nonsense about how his Social Security number isn’t a toy, and how […]
Happy St. Paddy’s Day

Nope, I won’t go anywhere near green beer, or wear anything green other than my emerald ring, and spruce green aran knit sweater. Truth be told, I prefer Harp to Guinness, but whatever floats your boat … My favorite local pub had its St. Paddy’s party last Sunday, with live music, probably because it would […]

Country music really isn’t my thing, but this is hilarious: It really is the funniest thing I’ve seen since Brian Keene’s Christmas video, featuring Tony and Vince.
Nicky Has Hemorrhoids

Hat tip: Just Me He posted this on his public author page on FB. As George Takei would say, “Oh, my.” This begs several questions. Which female household member made the 911 call? Would the Nickster have noticed the excess stink, otherwise? Why did this warrant a call to 911 to get an ambulance, unless […]
Minnow Trap
Posted in Uncategorized on March 3, 2017 | 3 Comments »
Fortunately, this minnow trap experiment is not an expensive one. So far, all we’ve caught are some tadpoles (polliwogs, if you prefer). Either the bait is wrong, or the location is. Evidently, baby frogs like pizza crust better than goldfish do. This morning, we relocated the trap near the rock dam at the one end […]
Kitchen Garden

We’re such tightwads that we save seeds from year to year. We’ve gotten some interesting squash hybrids that way, and have dubbed one variety “zukezilla.” It might be a hybrid between a sugar pumpkin and a zucchini. Whatever they are, they’re good for stuffing. Most seeds come true. There are some things I want to […]
Finally Figured it Out

The hen that lays the blue eggs is an Ameraucana, which is a crossbreed. She’s got blue legs to match her egg color. She’s the only one in the flock that has blue legs. Her feather color scheme means nothing, but her legs are a telltale sign. Her eggs don’t taste any different from those […]
