A few days ago, freedompoint over on hive and steemit posted a video on how to tie the only fishing knot you'll ever need. That got me thinking about some of the knots I use often at work. The one I use most often is the clove hitch. I use it mostly...

Update: disregard this article. It was based on bad data. A little while ago I was on Parler which is a bit like Twitter. Someone had posted an article there that immediately caught my eye. This is about 30 miles from where I live. I was going to...

I got done with work a little early today. At about 1:30, I was turning off S Broadway onto I-55 S to leave Saint Louis. As I was going to make the turn, I heard "Woop! Woop!". A cop jumped in front of me on the ramp. Then another. They both pulled...

The house we live in was built in the '30s and for an 80ish year old house, it's really not in bad shape. Once in a while, however, we'll find something that's really wrong. We've been living in this house for about a year and a half. Most of the rec...

Sometimes being a jerk on the homestead will land you in hot water. Literally. Meet Tom. I think he's the only animal ever having been on the homestead that didn't get a real name. He was just referred to by what male turkeys are called. We got Tom...

Gammy and I went to the ozark foothills Sunday to see our daughter's family. It's a 2-1/2 hour drive so we don't get out that way very often. They had done quite a bit of work on their place since we were there last. They had installed a couple of te...
