73°F and clear skies this morning, going up to 93° today. Looks like the heat has returned here for a few days, back into the mid-90s through Tuesday. The ureteral stent was removed a week ago yesterday - that was no fun - and with any luck, this kidney stone ordeal is now behind me. I know a...

I was a fan of Black Sabbath as a youngster. I remember thinking Ozzy was done when he left that band. Couldn't have been more wrong. Saw him live at the Kiel Auditorium in St. Louis in February of '82 about a month and a half before Randy Rhoads died. Saw him again at the small American Theater...

61°F and clear skies this morning, only got up to 79° here today. We finally shook out of our rain/hot/rain/hot cycle this weekend. Been awhile. Got a comment the other day from RNG on a Facebook post which served as a reminder that I hadn't been here for far too long. Looks like everyone's...

59°F and cloudy this morning, got up to 74° today. Stayed cloudy all day and looked like it might rain any minute, but never did. One more day of work this week, then I'm out of the office Friday for an annual golf tournament put on by our staffing firm. Was a great time last year, and looking...

65° and light rain here this morning, and that was the high for the day. Weather app said it was just supposed to rain a bit this morning, but it ended up sticking around all day. Shot my chance at getting any mowing done today. Bought a new "truck." Been looking for a long while at all the...

Thanks, Thomas. It's been a roller coaster ride. Happy birthday, Mrs, Fuddy.

47°F and cloudy this morning, only going up to 58° today. Looks like we're finally done with the rain for awhile. Been a wet spring here. I've spent the last two weeks dealing with a large (1cm) kidney stone. If you've never had one, I do not recommend it. Fortunately, because it was so large...

I always think about going home early on days like this. Even though I'm salary, and already over 40 hours for the week, I always feel guilty.

63°F and cloudy this morning, got up to 79° today. Rather windy the last couple of days. 1st shift just ended, and my 2nd shift has been working at another facility for the last month. So, it's quiet here at work, as I have the place to myself for the next hour. Get some reports done without...

Hope you get over it quickly, Buppies.

46°F and clear skies this morning, going up to 61° today. Got taxes picked up Saturday, finally. Made a run to Menard's Sunday morning to get a new flush valve for the upstairs toilet. Easy fix, but I still dislike having to do it all the dang time. Got some mowing done after that. Only about...

Isn't that the truth. I've never had much in the way of gas-related problems until the last few years. Suddenly, everything is needing repairs and replacement parts, and almost nothing starts on first pull of the Spring anymore. With all these new blends constantly foisted upon us, you'd think...

40°F and cloudy this morning, going up to 53° today. Rained pretty much all weekend here. We had some rumbly stuff overnight Friday night, light rain all day Saturday, then more rough stuff off and on Sunday. No damage this time. We get a couple of dry days today and tomorrow, then more rain...

Camel is another great band that should have been bigger than they were.

Speaking of long-hairs ... today is the 340th anniversary of the birth of Johann Sebastian Bach.
