Not really funny enough to go in humor, but it feels like my life's a joke sometimes.................. I'm just out of the army, with a couple of months worth of paid leave, and just starting to feel around for a job. So I kind of half-heartedly put in an application to the local school district to teach, and now I've got an interview for the high school choir spot. Now how the hell exactly did that happen? I could have done it today, but it happened so fast, I wanted an extra day to get m...

Gotcha!!! This is not the ravings of an anti-government paranoid with no paragraphs and all caps. I went and saw Big Brother and the Holding Company last night in Austin. For those who don't follow music, Big Brother was the band Janis Joplin used to sing with before she croaked from that toke. If you don't know Janis Joplin, just give up, turn in all your cool points, then go home and put on a petticoat. (Sweater-vests optional for men.) While obviously over thirty some-odd years, t...

So I'm still Army for all of one more day, when I get the bright idea to copy my medical files before turning them in permenantly tommorow. I'm cruising along xeroxing past my hospital stay for pneumonia, when I run across the line spontaneous abortion .......WTF??? According to my records, apparently I visited the hospital sometime in the last 6 months for a D and C following my third miscarriage...........who knew? Apparently the fact that I haven't yet been knocked up and oh...yeah, I'...

That's right, those who remember the league will remember my battle with the evil zombie midget deer that plague the hill where I live. Apparently word of my prowess has spread, because tonight, I finally drove one to suicide. I was just finishing a short run and coming up the last bit before home, when a car started to come past on the far side of the road. The deer came across the street away from the car, but saw me, and obviously overawed by my physical prowess, wheeled back around and...

And before you ask, why humor? Because I'm gonna look freakin' silly if I burn off all my facial hair, that's why. As promised pictures from the new propane burner I finished building this afternoon. My new furnace isn't quite done yet, and my wife dragged me off to a friend's house before I could try a melt, but I did get to try it out in my old furnace, and it was even sweeter than I dreamed it would be. P.S. Tell me if the photos don't come off, I'm trying a new hosting site, I got sic...

I finally did it. That's right, 17 lbs of sweet liquid propane, all mine. Boredom has finally driven me to finishing a LP burner for my metalcasting furnace.......heh heh heh heh...........fire....fire. I'm about to go finish drilling the holes and try it out. I had built a charcoal furnace, but I had a little trouble with using it to melt bronze, partly 'cause I hadn't made a proper lid for it, and partly 'cause every time it got ready to melt, the charcoal ran out, and it cooled off when...
