UPDATING OCCASIONALLY (FOR NOW)

  1. “Oh, *that* kind of grave robbing? Lead on, Chuck!” 😈

  2. Dr. Norman (not a real doctor)

    What? I say “What”?

  3. Heh, this is going to be fun. Tradition says you need to drink at least one bottle of MD 20/20 before going to the graveyard.

  4. At first I was thinking of something like a potato battery … nope!

  5. If you take a dead “D” cell battery, take out the carbon rod from the center, cut a strip of galvanized sheet metal about an inch (2.7 centimeters), take a small jar for canning, suspend the rod in the center and the strip on the side, pour in drain cleaner, you’ll get 1.2 to 1.4 volts DC. 10 of those connected to an inverter will give you 120 VAC at 0.5 amps. Do NOT keep them in the same area you live in however, the fumes will burn your lungs. Just something I learned in chem class in high school. You’d have to top-up the jars every few days, however. Any type of acid will work, even salt water. I think the teacher was a survivalist…

  6. Scheffler, Hovland and Conners Share the Lead at P.G.A. Championship
    Jordan Spieth, who needs a victory at Oak Hill to complete the career Grand Slam, and Justin Thomas, who won last year’s tournament, just made the cut at five over.

So how y’all doing?

Feels like the past few blog posts have been me, me, me… which they usually are since this represents my lil’ corner of the website. We had a near miss recently where we were going to go out to dinner for Dawn’s birthday and pushed it back a day due to reservation issues, then on the day of my dad called up and said he was feeling sick so probably shouldn’t go. We dropped one of our COVID test kits off on his porch that night and lo and behold he tested positive, which sent the family into panic mode all over again and I was playing operator for the concerned texts and phone calls. At this time he seems to be over the worst of it and getting better, hopefully with no long-term complications in his future. As far as I know he was masking up and taking precautions but he likes to run his errands in person and made some trips to the grocery store and post office and such a few days before his symptoms. So anyhow that’s about my dad, right, not me per se? But it shows how raw everyone in my family still is. Not a good time to go AWOL, for sure. When my uncle didn’t show up for a scheduled zoom call the troops were dispatched to get eyes on and make sure he was okay. Both these gents are getting close to 80 years old but they’re still up and about and very independent-minded, which makes for an interesting balance for me of wanting to give them space but also needing to make sure we’re not out of touch for too long since they’re now living alone. But yeah, some of you have already been responding occasionally with your own “status reports” and sometimes it’s just therapeutic to share, so, how’s 2022 treating y’all so far?
