I've commented elsewhere on social media that a bit of Electric Light Orchestra always makes yard work more epic, and that I should timelapse my next lawn mowing adventure set to music. As an adult, an excessive amount of my time seems taken up with maintenance and repairs. The cameras don't want to record today.… Continue reading Fire on High

Tanker at the Gates of Dawn
Up at 0400 for a fire call; smoke in the basement which turned out to be an electrical problem. I forgot to stop with the Tanker for glamour shots, but I was able to catch the sunrise on Plum Island afterward. It was too early for the coffee shop, so I stopped at Hanover Street… Continue reading Tanker at the Gates of Dawn

Social Media

It felt good to be back at work today and to have no administrative duties to worry about. I just need to get back on the rig running calls.… Continue reading Nov 2 #NaBloPoMo
Good riddance
October 2022 is over, and not a moment too soon. I've mentioned losing Cricket, almost losing Duke, and physically losing Daisy already. Last week a family member started Hospice, and his journey ended early yesterday morning. On the other side of the family tree a cousin, younger than me, suffered a stroke last Friday; he… Continue reading Good riddance
Healing II
After almost a year and a half, Sammie has finally begun to take her mom’s place on my hip. Warms my heart.
