Still lots of traffic here at ye Ol'Blog.   Coffee's still on the counter, so my new readers aren't into that Dark, triple brewed stuff that strips paint if left unattended.

long day, boring day for what it was.  (240' straight line wood fence set up)   Brain tired, body tired, did jack shit once home.    Sat on porch with coffee hoping for a spark; none came.   Array did its thing to the stop while I was sitting there, so I'm happy on that front, at least.   … Continue reading dead tired

Hallows Eve (pre-event party sorta like) party with Duct-tape  Fam and Kayak-y friends.  Sort of a  tie-in to Mama-T's birthday as well. (she turns 23 tomorrow; with several untold anniversies) And my reclusive nature is  fighting  me about it.  Feeling so wound tight, I'm afraid to 'unwind' as I might just unravel like  an old … Continue reading Takin’ a little hiatus
