Did you know that Santa has some helper elves in Florida? And did you know that Santa’s sun-worshipping assistants are in charge of ensuring that all power yard equipment is properly prepared to celebrate the Yuletide festivities? It’s true. On Saturday the 13th, Spouse and I hosted the office Christmas party. What preceded the party, […] Oh, I really have been a bad blogger, and a bad Internet friend. Looking at the two previous posts, it occurs to me that I’ve posted exactly once in something like 45 days. That’s not good. No, that just won’t do. You know the excuse is coming. I will try to make it brief. If […] I’m going to interrupt my own fishing story here to mention two unrelated things.

We were, accordingly, excited to obtain (in […] Spouse and I implemented the Juniorvanian National Plan for Tractor Reconstruction today, which is to say that we headed off to the local John Deere dealer and plunked down a fat wad of cash for one of these bad boys:
It is a John Deere X300 lawn tractor. I have […] I know you are dying for an update on the People’s Lawn Tractor. I would have posted it yesterday, but I was busy being a miserable prick. That is mostly because things were not going well with the People’s Lawn Tractor. That business about it not starting on Saturday evening, mid-way through the cut? The […] Here is what has been happening (instead of regular posting, that is: War with the raccoon(s). We (and by “we” I mean “Spouse”) put bird feeders up, coons take them down.
