Today I will be going over to where we have the camper stored and I'll put the battery back in. Plus, I am going to attempt to replace a leaky toilet valve in the bathroom. We will see how that goes. All the YouTube videos I have...

I wrote a couple of times about some spoiled ham I got from Kroger's Ruler Foods. I wrote them to tell them about the issue and they said they would send some vouchers to compensate me.
They did not initially, so I wrote them...

It is hard sometimes (okay, MOST of the time), to understand the mind of a liberal. Take, for example, how much the left wants to go after the rich, punish success, and rail against big corporations for gouging people, exploiting...

I may have mentioned a while back that I had to take the riding mower in for some repairs recently, mainly to replace the deck belt, but do not have a small trailer, and so I decided to drive the relatively short distance to and...

Anyone who has been married, especially for a long time, knows it's not all romance and good times. There are lots of challenges, ups and downs—and of course, there are many sweet moments on top of many sour ones as well.
It's...

I had a feeling it was going to happen. The MegaMillions for yesterday's drawing on March 22nd was for $977 million, and nobody matched the five winning numbers and one MegaBall number to win it.
The jackpot has now reached $1.1...

It's Friday and we were thinking, it's been a while since we have gotten anything out for dinner. So, we had three options. Fried chicken, pizza, or Chinese. All sound good, but we ended up settling on fried chicken.
The only...

Sometimes you run across someone who is always posting hundreds of pictures of their kids and you start to think, "Okay. We know they're cute. We're over it." The same could be said for little dogs and well...

Usually around St. Patrick's Day, I will have the family over for some corned beef and cabbage. For whatever reason, I tend to be known to make the best corned beef. Not that I ever do anything special. My method is simple.

Of underwear. All over my screen. Whitey tighties. Boxers. Bikini briefs. I am inundated.
Of course, I did it to myself. I wrote a post about buying a pack of underwear the other day and now it seems the algorithm is convinced I...

Normally I might post something like this in my "Music You've Probably Never Heard" series. But that is generally reserved for songs I at least like. Albeit some are still weird, perhaps. But the key is they are songs I enjoy...

Is this a good time for me to vent about my irritation that it is becoming more difficult to buy briefs when it comes to underwear these days? It seems the trend is boxer briefs, and I just don't want to wear them.
They are...

It's another Tuesday and that means Tuesday Challenge time. I just put another $19 into my envelope as today is the 19th.
How it works is on each Tuesday of the month you put in the amount that corresponds with the date on the...

Dawn, my wife, just has a knack for meatloaf. And that's saying something because she does not cook. I am the cook in the house, and this is pretty much the only dinner she is ever in charge of.
But for good reason.
She made her...

When you run blogs, you of course keep track of what people are reading. A lot of the time, many of the posts are not necessarily "evergreen." So, when a post from 2010 suddenly surges it makes you scratch your head a bit.

Sometimes I can be a bit, well...cantankerous might be a good word for it. Now, I know what you are going to say. "Porwest? Cantankerous? He's the nicest guy in all of myLot."
Ahem.
Anyway, one of our errand stops today was at...

When it comes to pizza, you will never hear me ever utter the words, "Let's go to Chuck E. Cheese." Besides it being a virtual zoo of overexcited and unruly kids where normal restaurant decorum does not apply, the pizza is just...
