I considered riding the bike to work last night. The temperature was at the upper end of the range I would consider riding in. Unfortunately I slept too late to ride. Tonight won’t work because I have to get groceries tomorrow morning when I get off work. I have a doctor’s appointment Wednesday, so IContinue reading “Cherry Picking”

Cats Win.
In spite of the name of this blog, I haven’t posted much about the footy lately. Geelong beat West Coast on the road yesterday to go to 9-4 and reach fourth on the ladder. Yes, the Eagles are currently holding the wooden spoon, but considering the Cats’ legendary inability to win after a bye week,Continue reading “Cats Win.”
Shrinkflation
Prices are up, packages are smaller, and quality is down as well. Backwoods Home Magazine announced that the current issue is printed on cheaper paper and contrary to what they say , you can feel the difference. Oh, and I just added a category tag.
Heat Wall
The temperature is in the upper 90s and the lows will be in the upper 70s. I may have to break down and put the window unit in now instead of waiting until July 4 like I usually do. Last year I never put the AC unit in.
Not in Sync
I go back to work tonight after a week of vacation. With my shift and having Tuesday and Wednesday nights off, my schedule is out of sync with most people. This makes having a social life difficult, fortunately I am not a social animal. The non traditional schedule has some advantages. I can deal withContinue reading “Not in Sync”
Home at Last
I took one look at the weather forecast this morning and decided to leave as soon as the rush hour traffic died down. I remembered to stop in Owasso to pick up the Tulsa World and USA Today since they recently stopped delivering to Coffeyville.. I got home before noon, but not before it gotContinue reading “Home at Last”
Sightseeing in Tulsa
I try to spend at least one day of my vacation being a tourist and today was the day. I heard the Tulsa Zoo was a half day zoo, meaning that you could see everything in half a day. I got there right after it opened and saw almost everything in two and a halfContinue reading “Sightseeing in Tulsa”
Tulsa Tough, Part two
Got my truck and got a nice surprise. Normally, I drive the box truck on Saturday and Sunday, and do an odd job sometime before the races begin. I get the free t-shirt and sign my liability waiver before I drive. This year, I signed up for tear down Sunday afternoon. They ran out ofContinue reading “Tulsa Tough, Part two”
Surviving the heat wave.
Drove the truck to Kellyville and actually found the key to the water valve. Unfortunately, I started unloading the wrong side of the truck. After figuring out what was supposed to be dropped off, I missed the turn to Slick. Someone took down the sign indicating the turn, Somehow I got to Slick right afterContinue reading “Surviving the heat wave.”
Heat Wave.
It seems to get hot every year just as Tulsa Tough begins and this year is no exception. The high was 85 in Coffeyville yesterday and 93 in Tulsa today. With a heat index of over 100 all weekend, I am glad I am not one of the riders. I pulled into town today duringContinue reading “Heat Wave.”
