On a Twitter tip from Ryan Kesler this morning, I made the mistake of taking a deep dive in the rabbit-hole that is Dustin Penner's Twitter feed :steamingpileofcrap: ... :shock: Never again...


Oh, his ass-backwards madness has been well-known for a while now. Not surprising, but disappointing nonetheless, that his old buddy Ryan Kesler would find his bullshit entertaining.

Bob and Doug go to space would have been a good SCTV skit I guess.

Monday leftovers: Teriyaki chicken with spaghetti & tomato sauce is an even worse combination than you are imagining.

That was probably the first crewed launch into space that featured on-board computers that weren't less powerful than our smartphones.

Ha, I was talking about JJ the other day. I equate them and EMF since my brother went through a phase of rotating only those 2 tapes in his car. Someone said "unbelievable" the other day and that damned song was in my head all day.

My wife got an official Margaritaville margarita maker from her folks as a birthday gift. Initially asked for it as a joke, but man does it take the edge off hearing about covid and police brutality all day. Blowing through tequila and rum fast, though.

It's June 8, it's 12 degrees C outside and I've got the furnace on in the house. I hung four hammocks outside this weekend but we can't use them because it's too fricking cold out... Can we all agree that Climate Change sucks?

Oh, yeah, I'm one of those people who set their thermostats inside in F but think metric when it comes to being outside.

I derive a strange satisfaction every time I see the garbage or recycling picked up. Like I've made my house a better place by getting rid of some old crap.

I just reached my 36th wedding anniversary. I am retired now and Mrs RW is working a 12-hour shift with Michigan State Police tonight. We are both hoping she will be retired too in the next couple of years.

Congrats! State Police sounds like an intense gig. What does she do?

Yes Skip, enjoy retirement.

I assume you still hold office though?
