This week I got a new toy.  Two, actually, but this one is fully powered.  The other one is a spray texture gun, which I am using to apply acoustic texture to the repaired ceiling I've been working on for the past two weeks.  I can honestly say that I hate - hate mind you […]

Not many people know this, but I have a twin.
His name is Doug.  Doug was always such a great older brother to me.  He was born about 6.36 minutes before I was.  Despite the obvious similarities between us, Doug was never quite as outgoing as I was.  Oh, he excelled at sports - especially football.  […]

Over the course of the last week, I have been hinting at, but not necessarily directly addressing, problems with my cooler and leaking roof.  The truth is, those are very different issues, but none the less directly related to the fact that I have had to spend craploads of money to deal with such annoyances […]

Today has been a very busy day for me.  On top of travelling nearly 400 miles today, and never getting further than 100 miles from my home town, I had a mother-in-law who's computer needed servicing.  All of this made for a lot of time spent sitting around doing nothing (but fortunately still getting paid […]

Happy Fourth of July, everyone!
As per the request of our dad, this week’s HNT is patriotic in nature.  And so, I show you my true colors.  Now, I as much as I’d like to say that by “true colors” I mean “I’m as patriotic as Rush Limbaugh in red, white, and blue spandex”, I can’t.  […]

I’m not going to get into a lot of detail, here. Let’s just say that Gerald got his shrink ray thing working. I don’t know how, exactly. He kept mumbling something about feltzer valves, duct tape, and ball bearings. All I know is, I’m back to my normal size, and having […]

Sorry folks.  Due to being excessively tired and not having enough time, I was not able to complete the planned HNT entry I had for this week.  Tune in next week when I continue my story from last week.  Did that make sense?  No?  I don’t care.
For this week, I have decided that it’s time […]
