When we last left our Super-Sexy Adventure SexyMan, he was gibbering at cops about a holeI kind of dropped the ball on this one, in a big way. My normal tools had been broken in the first attempt and/or simply proved to not be up to the task at hand, but I own a big, honking wrecking bar. It's like a super-crowbar and I was pretty sure it would ( Read more... )

I haven't been getting out as much as I would like, lately, as one family/social obligation just keeps stacking up on another. My weekends have been/are largely a joke ( Read more... )

Yeah, I'm mixing the posts all up, posting them disjointedly and out of order. That's just how we roll, in my hood. Here's " Yesterday".
