Chrome Weekend

Any time away from work is a good time, so the weekend was better than being at work. Unfortunately my wife was sick all weekend(still is.) She gave her boss a ride to work a couple days last week and her boss was getting over a vacation cold, and shared it with my wife. By […]

Long Week, Quiet Weekend, Another Throat Punch From Jack Frost, Another Brick In The Wall

It’s been a long week. The cross training continues at work, with my second week learning the many laborious facets of shipping. I’m done already with this crap, and there’s still more to be dumped upon me. My workmate of nearly 27 years told me he’s retiring May 1st. Said he can’t do this cross […]

End Of The Week Shenanigans Or; What, Me Worry?

We made it to Friday. The week has pretty much been dominated here in the states with government shutdowns, government openings, who’s to blame for said shutdowns, and something about emails implicating powerful men(on both sides of the aisle) in child rape. Oh, and a former Fox News host drawing a line between being a […]

“Sht Show at the Fck Factory”

I’m so happy to have finally arrived at Thursday. It’s been a long week at work, with me having to take 3 days worth of Yellow Belt training as it’s now become a requirement in our facility. No, I’m not taking Tae Kwon Do classes at work(though that would be preferable.) No, Yellow Belt training […]

A Fine Weekend

Sometimes you have yourself a weekend that feels nearly perfect. The kind of weekend that feels like each moment was spent doing something in service yourself, your loved one, and your mental health. A true escape from the work week and it feels as if nothing was wasted. Nothing expensive broke, nobody was hurt, no […]

Friday : A Week’s Recap

We’ve successfully made it to the end of another week. And, like most weeks that we’ve been encountering for the last several years there was plenty of evidence to support the idea that the end times are coming along nicely. From continued genocide in parts of the world, to yet another American school shooting, to […]

Back At Monday, 4-Day Weekend, Kept It Low Key

This was a four day weekend that was much needed. Unfortunately it’s already in the rearview, and we’re looking down the barrel of another 5-day work week. Wednesday was my last day at work, yet it feels like I’d just clocked out. Ehh, that’s pretty much how this life goes, innit? You enjoy yourself and […]

Monday Check-In, 3/10/25 : Spring Preview, New(Old) Jazz, Under The Weather

Hello all. Monday has returned in record-breaking speed. Maybe the fastest Monday turnaround yet. I’m trying to decide if Monday arrived quicker back in school, or as an adult. I’m leaning towards adult. When you were in elementary school, or even middle and high school there were some weekends where it seemed to drag on […]

Monday Check-In, 2/24/25 : Kalamazoo Art Fair, Grinders, Outdoor Walks

The weekend was a pretty decent one. Back in February of 2018 my wife and I headed up north to Kalamazoo, MI for the annual Kalamazoo Art Fair. I can’t remember how she found out about it, but we booked a room at a hotel for the Friday night before and headed up after work […]

Monday Check-In, 2/17/25 : “Lazy Weekend”

Man, it was a lazy weekend. It’s not like I usually have jam-packed weekends anyways, but this past Valentine’s Day weekend was especially sloth-like. Besides running to town Friday afternoon for a few things, I never left the homestead. Friday night I had a couple beers and started the Stephen King miniseries Rose Red. It’s […]
