This was supposed to be a Report from the OP
I started a week ago writing it. It’s now saved as a draft, and hopefully, I’ll get it finished in a day or three. It…

Thanks for being my guinea pigs
I’m trying out a new theme. I want something substantially like the old theme, which has unfortunately had some serious under-the-hood changes at some point.…
Dark mode is working
I had to go to a new plug-in, but there is now a working dark mode for the blog. Don’t know why the old one…
Life in the thrall of migraine
I think I may be nudging up to the edge of normality, although events of this week make me wonder. But I know that people…
Blasted software
It seems my “dark mode” plugin has crapped all over the bed, rendering images invisible when in dark mode. For the time being, it’s been…
@%!$ technology
Saturday night, the thunderstorms started moving through. They weren’t bad here, but there was this one lightning strike somewhere close by… And our Intertubz connection…
I’ve forgotten how much fun it is having little kids around the house
And I want to emphasize the plural nature of the issue because both grandkids are now cutting teeth. The amount of drool is stupendous. Even…
{inserts key into door lock}
Turns key, opens door. Gropes for the light switch. Trips over an unidentified something. Manages not to fall by grabbing something that turns out to…
Report from the OP, January 24, 2023
Whew. It’s been how long since I last reported? Two weeks? And this is the fourth day I’ve worked on this, trying to get it…
Armageddon Refrigerator Says
The thing seems to be fixated on bunkers lately. I have to wonder why. A housekeeping note: It’s been sort of stupid busy here all…
Well, look who’s back!
(Via The Racontuer Report) BigCountryExpat has resurfaced. And on Blogspot, no less.
Intellectual Froglegs: Save America/Save the World Election Special
One of the two best renditions of the Star Spangled Banner contained within. Plus the usual Joe Dan skewering of Democrats. And some good tunes.…
Report from the OP, September 19, 2022
Geeze, it’s been a week since I posted? Time flies when the weather is beautiful and you’re working what’s left of your butt off. A…
Where was Jack when the lights went out?
Stumbling around in the dark, cursing himself because he hadn’t bought a decent flashlight, and hoping that sound he heard wasn’t an intruder. A few…
When it rains, it Wuflus
I’ll try and do the posts I wanted to do 6 days ago sometime soon. But for right now, this is the post you’re going…
I’m well
It’s just I don’t see much to write about. We’re pretty much in the same place we’ve occupied for the last while. I suppose we’re…
The return of my usual sunny disposition :-)
I can’t say if it’s the new drugs, prayer or both, but something is doing some good. I’m on Day 4 of “No migraine!”, at…
Broad Spectrum Incompetence
The good news is that I’m working on Day 2 of “Not Having a Migraine”. This is unfortunately due in no part to my choice…
I’m here
Somewhat barely, anyway. Eight migraines in the last 10 days. One right now. I am attempting to embrace the suck. Oddly enough, while searching for…
Hanging in there
The last dose of steroids is in, and I’m happy to report that so far, they seem to have helped. No idea for how long,…
This is getting old
While I could be talking about authoritarian governments in training, I’m actually talking about migraines. I’ve had one the last 4 days or one for…
Apologies for my absence
But it’s going to continue until our weather stabilizes and my head quits rebelling. Migraines are a bitch, and weather is one of my worst…
Solar Panel Testing Update
I’ve retested panel #2, tested panels 3 & 4 and updated the results.
Ugh
Sorry the free beer has been turned of the last couple of days. I’m fighting with one whale of a migraine outbreak, driving by a…
WordPress security issue
If you have a WordPress blog, then you need to check this article on a security issue currently being exploited. WordPress security company Wordfence, which disclosed details…
Reports of blog repair were premature
It seems the pat on the back to the hosting service was also premature, but this time they really believe they’ve solved the issue. We’ll…
Back into the light
If you’ve tried to visit since, maybe yesterday sometime, and the blog hasn’t loaded, my hosting service had some capacity issues on the server this…
Still here, still at it
Slowly wearing down, though. I figure I have one good day left in me and them I’ll need a break or a miracle. Of course,…
Back to busy
If the weather forecast is correct, I’m getting 3 unseasonably warm days. I haven’t gotten the house pressure washed yet this year (it didn’t get…
