I got out my old mesquite hiking stick just to check it's condition and because I was considering putting it in my truck in case the hip was feeling especially good some time out on the road and I wanted to try a short hike. It's a great stick as mesquite is a very strong wood as well as light, and is the perfect length for me. As I was checking it out I noticed that it's feeling pretty slick these days. Nothing worse than working up a good sweat and trying to hang on to a slick wooden sta...

I just off the phone, dispatch called a few minutes ago with a load for me. I'll be picking up a military truck at an Army Reserve post in Ocala tomorrow and hauling it up to Ft Mc Coy, WI. It seems the Reserves in Ocala just received several new trucks and these old ones are being relocated for refurbishment and redistribution. I've hauled quite a few old pieces of military equipment to Ft. McCoy so I am familiar with that base. Their primary function is the repairing and distribution of ...

According to a story from a highly reputable news source the current crisis in the Middle East may well be coming to a close due to high rocket fuel prices seen there. Link

I'm getting ready to go back out on the road as soon as they call me with a load. For this reason I don't want to go to the grocery to buy anything that I may not eat before having to leave. I'm using up what's left here. I was getting hungry and rummaging around to see what I could come up with for lunch. Well, let's see, I have some macaroni, tomato sauce, assorted spices and herbs. I cooked up some macaroni, drained it and added the tomato sauce, oregano, dried onion powder, salt, an...

Where to begin? Well, as a small boy I was kind of curious and so I tried to see how the gas kitchen stove worked. I played with all of the knobs and at one point everything just exploded. I suffered serious burns, including my eyes, and the fire department put out the fire. It took a while for me to recover from that one. Ummm, let's see. I am currently in a tremendous amount of pain due to numerous physical injuries and illnesses I've suffered between then and now. Back injuries, seri...

As I mentioned in another article Socrates likes to follow me into the bathroom. He likes to jump up on the sink but because it's so high for his little self he has to get a really good running start at it. A few minutes ago I was in there and he came running full speed, launched himself too soon, let out a loud "mreoooooorw", and slammed squarely into the vanity door and rolled back out the bathroom door. I couldn't help it, I was laughing my ass off, it was so hilarious. He wasn't hur...

The lightening and thunder just started about three minutes ago. A very loud crack, a loud peal of thunder,. Socrates diving under the couch,. and me closing the skylights to stop the sudden inpouring of rain. Gotta love living in a tropical climate. I wonder what's gonna burn down this time?

I'm making spaghetti for dinner. I like to make my own sauce as I haven't found any jar sauce I really like although the Newman's Own aren't bad in a pinch. I like to make a fairly thick spaghetti sauce. I know a lot of people make a pretty thin sauce. Personal preference thing I suppose. So, my question is which do you prefer? A thick spaghetti sauce or a thin one? Lots of meat, a little meat, or no meat at all? Spaghetti sauce is a very individual thing are there are so many possibilitie...

Yep, I need to find a girlfriend. When my hip and back get to hurting the do-it-yourself butt massage just doesn't cut it.

I love this person! What a great and humorous way to deal with a neighbor stealing your wireless access. I love it. Link

Thanks to President Bush, the radicals of the Muslim world now hate the United States. Prior to Bush and his insane policies the radical Muslims loved the US and always had the greatest of respect for the US. Now, unfortunately, because of Bush's policies the radical Muslims have turned against the country they have always loved. Rumor has it that thanks to Bush, they may even be contemplating terrorist acts against the oned loved US and it's allies as a direct result of Bush's policies. ...
