Mr. L has long envisioned a car frame rotator for use in restoring his 1946 Mercury automobiles. These are available commercially and are fairly expensive. He decided to build his own, and it’s complete enough for him to know it will do exactly what he wants it to do — … Continue reading →
The kitties had a stressful week. We had a new heat pump installed upstairs to replace two aged (one failed) heating and air conditioning systems. For the inside cats, that meant “strangers” invaded the house for three days. For the outside cats, that meant strangers invaded their under house spaces … Continue reading →
The August heat is still bearing down with no rain in sight. Here’s what we’ve been getting done since we last checked. San Antonio House: Mr. L had to go down for a medical appointment. While there, he got a very little watering done on the yard. The Ranch: My … Continue reading →
The subject of streaming TV came up. I have largely dismissed streaming television for two reasons. First, I have a 250G per month data cap on my internet connection. I have no idea how much I use, and I can’t find a meter anywhere on ATT’s site. I’m confident it’s … Continue reading →

Rossie now knows when I close the doors to the parlor, she’s going to get to come out of the cage (at least, that’s what she thinks), and that’s usually correct. Sometimes, I just want to replenish … Continue reading →
What do you think of drones? Not commercial or military ones but the kind you can buy and fly around for yourself? You can find them the size of the palm of your hand or smaller all the way up to, well, I’m not sure how big they can get … Continue reading →
I’ve been getting some time with the elusive Walter lately. He loves Fancy Feast, and he recently figured out we give Sneaky and Junior Fancy Feast in the morning, so about a week ago, Walter began making regular appearances at Fancy Feast time on the heat pump ductwork. So, we … Continue reading →
We’ve experienced an interesting week. First, an update on an unpleasant topic: Tarzan’s irritable bladder. After we clearing the infection, we began treating him with Adequan. This is, as I understand it, a hyaluronic acid formula, and studies have shown it soothes a kitty’s bladder, preventing repeat problems, which result … Continue reading →
