New daughter is having her bridal shower at the Spud domicile today. It looks like the house puked Hawaiian kitsch. Whadya gonna do? She deserves a happy day. Links? Maybe best not to have another melt down. He can't even find a Democrat donor to loan him a plane....
Spud has begrudgingly returned home from the garden island of Kauai after ocean side nuptials. You know how I knew I was home, I mean, besides temps in the 30s? There wasn't a zero on the end of every friggin' tab I paid. And Kauai has chickens. A lot of them. I read...
Yep, in just a couple of days, ol' Spud is headed across the pond to Kauai wed his future bride and become the head of a household at the ripe old age of 62. I had kids early, so they're all in their 30's. Future Mrs. Spud had them late, so they're 20 and 22. I didn't...
I have no idea what Sloopjos is doing this week. Something about Messican ass weed. And lawyers. Links? WTF? I'll wait for the Pornhub channel. Erm... So this happened. Oddly enough, Hamas is the only party not already on board. My intense dislike for this choice has...
I was waylaid by my neighbor and a bottle of wine. "Oh shit, I have 20 minutes." Links? Newsom is such a retard. He's daring Trump to punch him in the nose. Either way, it's going to get worse. I'll let you decide whether or not this is sour grapes. You reap what you...
I am in full canning and preserving mode. After today, I'll be up to ten quarts of sauce and I don't know how many bags of roasted chiles, ready to vacuum seal for the freezer. And, piss poor planning on my part, I leave Tuesday for a week. I have a drift boat and a...
The front page picture is a small stream at 7,000' I fished last week. I was landing lunker fingerlings, but it just didn't matter. In other news, summer is waning and the harvest has begun. The beauty above is probably the biggest tomato I've ever grown. Time to...
That's what I'm talkin' about. Yep, it's August. That means smoke in the air. Air quality is 102 here at the cabin. So it goes. There's still fish in the river and birds in the forest to be gathered and eaten. Links? The Cracker Barrel saga takes a dark turn. Tedious....
When you add all types of knives together, I think I have about 60 blades. My EDC is one of my Spyderco's. This little fella followed me home today. I need to feed it the blood of my enemies. Or at least some cardboard. Links? He's surfing the big waves now. Sucks to...
That's what I'm talking about. Winding down my last weekend in the Gulch, it's about time to close up and head west to Manly Time. Above is my final visit to the Giant Dipper. I need to hit the gym something fierce... Links? Night vision goggles? Tweakers. Makes it...
There's a brief lull in the storm, so I thought I would sneak in a few Links. The drunks will be back at it in a bit. Shall we Link? OMB is off the leash. It's not like their tossing dead octopus on the court. At least we still have Sturgis. Elon got caught up in the...
That is not right. SugarFree is on a bender. Every now and then, he decides to live dangerously and buys a bag of Skittles. His blood sugar is probably well into the upper three digits by now. That's when he does his best writing. Links? Prolly not something you want...
Next week it is time for the summer sojourn to Glibs Gulch. I hope to get our new bar at least mapped out, if not partially built by the time I come home. We'll see. There are the usual festivities to be had that may cut into productive hours. Links? Just a year ago...
Yep. Here in Manly Time, July has arrived, and with it the heat. We will be close to, or over 100 degrees for the next few weeks. At least I'm not dumb enough to live in Arizona like Mexi. Links? They were brown in a field. Of course they were illegal. Gavin has a man...
I'm must be allergic to fireworks, I feel like I'm hungover today. Links? Let's get this out of the way. This is an absolute tragedy. And there's more to come. Let the hand wringing commence. No, they're not "abandoning the contract with SpaceX". Yes, MAGA has it's...
Howdy, folks. All's quiet here in Spudville, as we careen into July heat. Lush green lawns now have their tell tale brown spots that will go away in September. Time to go sit by the river. Links? That's a bunch of bull. But...socialism caused the $29 sandwich... I...
Yes, that is an Aperol Spritz and it is delightful. Go back to your raspberry/chocolate beer and leave me alone. Links? Apparently, Team Red likes to fuck. Clone this motherfucker and put him in charge of every country in the world. Next step is now in progress. I...
So I knocked back a couple dozen oysters, ate a bunch of celery and took a long nap. Time to finish the job I set out to do. Links? Minnesota is just a weird state. Walz is perfect for it, especially since he's tied in with this. And based on what we're hearing about...
Yep, Spud gets to bookend Mexi today. Hey! Who just snickered and said "spit roast"?!? Grow up, people! OMWC and Prime are doing something old and oldish this weekend. I'm sure they'll have fun along with a few old people naps. Fine, here's a few birthdays. Not even...
I spent a LOT of money dealing with trees last year. It appears the new season has started. Links? Elon is finding out the hard way that sometimes it's not good to latch yourself to the government tit, and then publicly piss off the most powerful man in the world....
Yes, sloopjos are out hawking loosies in front of the convenience store this week. You get me and some other character tomorrow. No sports. No birthdays. Just the hard hitting Links that nobody is going to read. Shall we? Fear! Fear! Fear! By all means, do nothing and...
Yesterday was absolutely delightful, today is cold and wet. Welcome to the Gulch. On the plus side, the newest Glib here in the Gulch is surviving and thriving, even though WebDom is still not getting more than a couple hours of sleep at a time. l0b0t still looks like...
So here in Manly Time, we're headed into the 80's for a while. The community pool opens today. Next week I'll be in Glibs Gulch, where it's in the 50s with at least five days of rain. I will never forgive WebDom for being born in a place with such crappy weather....
Discuss and debate!
Spud is currently on his annual sojourn to the West Coast to hang with the fam. Just a spectacular part of the world, even if the weather typically sucks. Adler hasn't found a dead sea lion to roll in yet. Links? "Okay, we'll stop lobbing missiles at each other....
