My dreams in my older age (53) are simpler. I just want to live where my ears aren’t assaulted by the sound of two-stroke leaf blowers and line trimmers every weekend morning. It’s absolutely ridiculous.
And now, in the department of un-announced fun…
BAH. My water company turned off service to our area this morning without warning. I am fine with them needing to work on the lines, but couldn’t you at least send an email? It’s 2026, man, I work from home. Also, the phone tech had no idea they turned our water off. SIGH.

I was thumbing through the music catalog this morning, and I couldn’t find just the right morning music, til I stumbled on “Echoes: The Best Of Pink Floyd.” I listened to this a week or two ago and enjoyed it, and so far it has been perfect this morning.

Well, yesterday morning, we had QUITE the storm, which lasted until around 3 p.m. Once it blew past us, it was as if another world came from it. Beautiful, clear, blue skies, 75 degrees with a slight breeze, and not even the usual post-rain humidity.

This is a shelf where I keep things that have caused me a large amount of pain, discomfort, or bled me of money. Yesterday I added this breaker, which partially failed in the middle of the winter storm. This caused a “dead-leg” in my power and rendered my HVAC unusable, among other affronts.
SOOOO Bob Uecker, and David Lynch so far today. Just waiting on the “third” I suppose…
Well, it’s the 9th of January, and I’ve fallen behind on my journaling. At least I acknowledged this early enough to remedy it. I have daily notes and thoughts, just not cohesive journal entries.
And just like that, the holidays are over, and conference calls are back on with people talking work priorities again, like it all never happened. Every year is more surreal than the last.
Fellow central Texans, how is everyone’s PTSD this morning?

I have been feeling a bit “off” the last few days til yesterday, I had a stitch and some cramps, and I realized I was dehydrated. So today, I started my day with some intentional hydration in the form of a glass of water and Skratch Labs cucumber lime. It has made ALL the difference.

I like to sit in my driveway in the mornings and take things in. Lately I see lots of folks out riding their bikes, which is great, but it’s alarming how many ride by on nearly flat tires, with dry, squealing drivetrains. If this is you and you see me, pull in, we’ll get you fixed up.
You know it’s Christmas in Texas. It’s 71 degrees and raining.
It’s time for that winter Pho that makes my head feel better and my sinuses clear. Much neededed today
Today is a headache kind of day.
Night. My daughter and I have come into possession of a circa 1984 vintage Canon AE-1. We’ve been having a great time learning (re-learning in my case) film photography. It reminds me of the good old days of photography, when every shot counted, as they certainly weren’t “free.”
There he goes man. One of the guys I work with is one of those “molecular yogurt extractors.” You know who I mean. Those folks that go at yogurt or pudding cups like they are filled with crack cocaine, and they themselves have been sleeping on the sidewalk at the greyhound station for a few weeks.

Well, the rain cleared out, and it’s a beautiful 39 degrees and sunny day now. This is how December should feel in my mind.
We’ve been playing with the recently refurbed AE-1. The first roll we shot was twenty years expired, but we still got a few good images. We’re finishing a roll of 400TX now, and we’re excited to see what we get.

After 30 years in the Army, being the “guy in charge” most of the time, it’s still hard for me to show up to an event and just go with the flow. Even one that’s pre-planned, and well-run. When I do relax and go with it, I must admit to liking it.

The weather the last few days has been regularly volatile, and while I hope it isn’t affecting anyone too negatively, I do love the energy.
I love cinematic scores. Over the years there have been so many pieces that just define the genre of (typically) modern classical music. One of my (and I’m sure many other music fans) favorite composers is Hans Zimmer, and to that point, the score for “Interstellar” is possibly the very best. Even …
Some folks I work with are engaged in an intense conversation about the intrinsic merits of limeade. If I’m being honest, I’m totally here for it.
This is bureaucracy for its own sake. “Bring two utility statements to establish residency” But my DL has my address on it, and a date of issue more than 40 days before the date of the appointment? “We can’t use that, Sir” Then why am I required by law to update it?
We request appointments literally months in advance. They repeatedly admonish you not to be late. We arrived 20 minutes before our allotted time. It’s now 20 minutes past our allotted time. We’re number 180, they are serving number 118. What is going on?
I’m a middle aged white guy, who can take time from work at will. I’m currently at the DMV and my anxiety level is through the roof. I can’t imagine how a single mother, an immigrant, any person of color, or ESL party must feel in here. We can do better than this.

Is anyone who has ever seen “American Psycho” able to listen to Phil Collins Sussudio without picturing Patrick Bateman? I am not.
I solidly, and absolutely subscribe to a policy of listening more than I speak. While listening, I heard someone I work with (indirectly) say that minimum wage is not “designed” (implying there was some plan) to provide a living, and that raising it hurts those receiving it.

My son spent his birthday today laid up with a 101-102 degree fever. Not COVID, we tested first thing this morning, but he’s pretty sick just the same. Seems to be some respiratory bug, cough, body aches, congestion. He’s in a good mood despite it all, he’s a resilient fellow.

This is how I feel already and December has barely started.

Time to decompress a little…today has been a crazy, twist me tight kind of day. and Im wrapped pretty damn tight. A little java, and a spin with lola, and it will all be ok, at least for a while…

First in the water today. The water is perfect, smooth, still, like glass. The air isn’t filled with moisture yet, you still feel that you can do anything, like a white piece of paper, and a fresh pencil.
Tonight, tonight, tonight…. got a little knackered.
Tonight’s haul (at casa de Cazadore)
Leinenkugels and my #HersheyBears hat win the first round…but…
Very satisfying ride today, the entirety of Walnut Creek, including the windy city, marks art, BMX, and tangle of tears, as well as the backside. Pretty awesome.

Sunset in the ATX
Red Dawn, (1984 version): I just watched this, and its everybit as compelling as it was in 1984. The basic premise is that the world experiences a global economic meltdown, Russia is cursed with failed crops, and grasping at a last ditch effort, they invade the US. These brothers and friends loosley organized by and around …

summer slips into fall: Its darker much later each day now. It’s fully 7:30, and the sun has only just started to peak over the tree tops, silhouetting them against the very pale light. The heavy mist from yesterday is still with us, and other than the birds, vocally announcing their presence, it’s very quiet …
A little more Ali
her handlebars are…dopey….
Storms on the ocean have a special feel. I used to sit and watch them roll in from far out at sea when I lived on the coast. It was a foreboding, but not frightening feeling.
excellent
These boots and I have been around the world, (literally), and they are very much, MINE.
Mr Jimmy
The absolute GREATEST FIGHTER of all time. People argue with me that “He was the greatest of his time” or that “it was a different era” its all BULLSHIT. Ali is, and will be, the GREATEST.
all my weaknesses captured in one simple image.
Cityscapes are fascinating, there are probably 250,000 people milling around unseen in this one. I could stare at it for hours.

Riding my way into happiness: Obviously I’ve been riding a lot. After a year of doing nothing but swimming and lifting, I’m finally finding the fire to get the wheels rolling under me again. It’s been very satisfying to spin the cranks, and feel my legs strong, and able. (*disclaimer, that is NOT my bike above, …

It’s Saturday coffee time. I call this my “Navy” mug, though I got it from a guy in the Coast Guard, and I dont think it was from the ship. I was complaining about thin walled mugs not keeping things hot, and he just showed up with it one day. He said, “you have to ask a guy who stands on the bridge …
I like nice things
Pushbike stuff Embrocations, hydration etc. I seem to be on a grassroots push these days, with Mad Alchemy and Skratch labs, but there’s no way around it just working. Im a long way from being an elite cyclist nowdays so I need all the help I can get.

Reminders of Armyisms: The Army, especially above the company level is such a dysfunctional animal as far as staffing and resourcing goes. I often wonder how we get anything done that requires coordination at those levels. From what I see, it seems that some rep at the company level tends to step up and handle the …
Two weeks in the woods: It blows my mind how bad the Army is at integrating communications between adjacent units, or even same unit staff sections.

Starting the morning: It should be 107 degrees today, and the 73rd day over 100 this summer. I figure I need to take advantage of the relative cool before all that hits, so Im enjoying my coffee, and my dog, out here while its only 93.
