Not enough time to be retired!

Who knew not working for the government would be so time consuming! I attended the Columbus Business Roundtable this morning which was at  . . At Home Again, a new senior living facility. Beautiful place and I can't wait to move in. I'll have photos of the place . . . soon . . . . .but I'm all of a sudden even more rushed today. You see tomorrow is a big day - no no no it's not the Royal Wedding. I'm not going to see a lot of that, I get...

Gravity Waves, Brewers & Sarah Palins Easter Celebration!

First - a COW photo. -------------------------------Seems Wisconsin experienced something that rarely takes place.  A very powerful Gravity Wave.  At least that is what they are telling us. (I'm thinking aliens). The roof of a day care was lifted off the rest of the building and deposited  . . not on the building and it was a fair weather day for the most part.A gravity wave is rather unique.  What happens is that air is...

Happy tax day.

Happy tax day.   Why is it people are SO angry at paying taxes anyway!  Do they realize that Americans are paying historically low taxes?  Do they not actually understand how civilization works?  There are a lot of different kinds of tax - one is property tax which I THOUGHT the Cheesehead Pharaoh Walker said was not going to rise, yet now I see they are.   hmmmmm Of course you have the Voluntaryists, Individualist anarchists,...

whacko beggars and neurosurgeons

I was working last night at Cannery Wine and Spirits and sold some high end booze to the CFO of the Chicago Bears. Seems she graduated from Sun Prairie High School and she was getting an award and needed something to celebrate - Lord knows there is nothing the Bears are doing to get her celebrating. -------------------------------I was going through my images looking for what I would put up in Trails End Supper Club in Portage and found a couple...

Trains End Supper Club

To answer knowitall (which seems odd) - what you are talking about is called Milky Spor a soil-dwelling, Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium. It is responsible for a disease (commonly called milky spore) of the white grubs of Japanese beetles. I believe it takes a few years to accumulate in the soil.You sprinkle it on your lawn and it grows but these things are tiny so it takes a while to cover the lawn. The cool thing is that every time a beetle...

String Cheese - YUMMO

Bad day for Elwood. With his 7 month old TV going dark he is in a foul mood - especially since he cannot find his sales receipt to see if it's on warranty. If anyone has an old TV sitting around that they want to get rid of I know a guy that would appreciate it. ----------------------------------Today I'm going to the Sassy Cow Creamery to buy the freshest string cheese you will ever see. They make 100 lbs on Tuesdays and sell it out in one...

Monday April 10th the day after summer.

Was Sunday not a SWEET day?  I was out looking around the yard and noticed that I have my first flower. Comes from a periwinkle.  WELCOME TO SPRING.I received an email last week from Garden Gate Magazine saying that they were going to use one of my TIPS for their website and magazine.  Plus they asked if I had any plans on making an iPhone app for my idea.  I said I had no plans so they MIGHT look into making an app out of MY...

it ain't over

Good thing I stay up until like midnight to find out who won! At least I know one guy who won and a big Congratulations go out to incumbent Mayor Bob Link. It was a landslide! Although no one ran against him which I have to wonder, when the last time a Columbus Mayor did not have to actually worry about winning. Seriously - when was the last time?  We have had a new Mayor every two years since the late 1800's.  He must be doing something...

Honor Flight

Working backwords.I spent yesterday at the Brewers home opener . . or I believe I did (that's what they told me). Little did I know that I would spend the tailgate portion of the festivities playing drinking games! Thank goodness I brought along potent craft beer while everyone else was drinking Miller 64! Why even bother drinking that garbage - you certainly can't get drunk on the stuff . . . .YET THERE I WAS drinking 7% ABV beer with my buddies...

No Blood Was Spilled

First order of bigness is to divert you attention to my Sports blog Grinders Warehouse where I have my little experiment going,  wagering "peanuts". So if you want a quicky sport fix I'll TRY to stay away from sports here.------------------------------------------No blood was spilled. Took Milo to the vet yesterday. DJ said NEVER AGAIN as she came home looking like Carrie from the exorcists.Well - Milo was basically well behaved and $180 later...
