Coming and Going

Jim Bauer @porwest (102426) • United States 8h

Don't get me wrong. We love our camps, and so far, this year we have done 3 of them. One in April, one in May, we skipped June, and we just finished one of two camps scheduled for July. We'll be on another one in just two or three...

Have You Ever Heard of Snot Loggers?

Jim Bauer @porwest (102426) • United States 3 Jul

When I worked, of course, there was often a considerable amount of time spent in breakrooms with coworkers shooting the breeze, and of course, there was the occasional argument to be had. The conversations were the fodder of many...

Pigs in a Blanket

Jim Bauer @porwest (102426) • United States 2 Jul

It's just good eats, and oh so simple. Pigs in a blanket, and a perfect meal that won't have too many leftovers that can't wait until we get back from our camping trip to be eaten up. Hell, we might even take them along...

I Want to Strangle Her

Jim Bauer @porwest (102426) • United States 2 Jul

I'm not a bad guy. Not really. I can be grumpy, but I'm not even really a get off my lawn kind of guy. I don't dislike kids. That doesn't mean I want to be around them 24/7. They can be annoying if you get too much...

I'm Going to Wear My New Hat This Weekend

Jim Bauer @porwest (102426) • United States 2 Jul

Not that being a Navy veteran has anything to do with the 4th of July, but I have a couple of Navy hats I like to wear. One that I wear, usually on Veteran's Day, is my USS Enterprise (CVN-65) "official" ship's hat (similar to...

Such a Simple Dish, But So Good

Jim Bauer @porwest (102426) • United States 30 Jun

I wanted to use up some leftover pork steak I had. So, I decided to make an "alfredo" of sorts. Not a true one. But a play on the concept and idea of one. Me follow a recipe? Are you kidding me? I cut up some red...

The "Elvis is Alive" Theory Has a Timeline

Jim Bauer @porwest (102426) • United States 30 Jun

The "Pastor Bob Joyce is Elvis" story is a fascinating one regardless of where one stands on whether the pastor could even possibly be Elvis in the ongoing theory of theories that Elvis never actually died in 1977 but faked his...

Do We Really Need the Extra Electrolytes?

Jim Bauer @porwest (102426) • United States 29 Jun

For several years now, almost ritualistically, I have had a routine of drinking coffee in the morning, water throughout the day, and beer in the evening. But recently, while having a conversation with my wife's cousin, Larry, he...

After All, I Gotta Pay for Supperunch

Jim Bauer @porwest (102426) • United States 28 Jun

I have a rule. Okay, it's probably not a rule. It's anal-retentiveness, or maybe even old age. I have routines, and things. If I eat something past 2 P.M., I consider my supper spoiled. Late lunches, you might call them....

The Muggers No Longer Use Guns

Jim Bauer @porwest (102426) • United States 28 Jun

They're screwing us, one penny, one nickel, or 75 cents a time, and they are doing it for good reason. Because they can. Now, it's all for a good cause, they will tell you. But is it really? What I am talking about is...

You Can Lead a Horse to the Water...But...

Jim Bauer @porwest (102426) • United States 27 Jun

You see, the thing is, I have spent a lot of time on here talking to people about ways to save money. Right down to the penny. I do it because I know money can be saved, people can get ahead despite their circumstances, and I WANT...

Jim Bauer @porwest (102426) • United States 27 Jun

Not that it's necessarily anything new, many washers and dryers are already made in the United States, mainly in Louisville, Kentucky. But GE has recently decided to move it's China production to Louisville under a $490 million...

Spaghetti Is Always Good Eats

Jim Bauer @porwest (102426) • United States 26 Jun

Spaghetti is one of those dishes that hits our household menu at least once a month. It just never fails to satisfy, and I think it's relatively cheap to make as well and goes quite far providing for more than just one meal from a...

Walmart Can Do Better

Jim Bauer @porwest (102426) • United States 25 Jun

Did you know that a Walmart Supercenter, which are most Walmart stores anymore, keep roughly 2000 carts at each store? That's a lot of carts. So, it makes you wonder, when you go to your local Walmart, and the cart corrals are...

Oh, Hell No...

Jim Bauer @porwest (102426) • United States 24 Jun

There are things that look or seem easy in concept. All sorts of things get sold that are supposed to make something easy harder. No, that was not a typo. I said that on purpose. Of course, that's not how things are...

That Seems Worse...

Jim Bauer @porwest (102426) • United States 24 Jun

Several years ago, someone I went to high school with, who I was friends with on Facebook had passed away, and considering his lifestyle (he was gay), I always assumed he probably committed suicide. He'd had a string of bad...

People Tickle Me

Jim Bauer @porwest (102426) • United States 23 Jun

Especially when it comes to social media. Man, I swear, when did we become such a world of weak, humorless, snowflakes? Really. I'm asking. So, this guy writes a post and quips, "There are to many stupid people in the...

The Verdict Revealed

Jim Bauer @porwest (102426) • United States 23 Jun

So, I've been on for a bit about whether or not the wifey's go ahead to try salmon again (for the record, she's never really liked it) would be a success or not, and last weekend I made some teriyaki salmon on cedar planks on the...

I'll Take $480,000 for $800,000 Please

Jim Bauer @porwest (102426) • United States 22 Jun

I like to play the bigger lotteries like our state lottery that has a current jackpot of $10,550,000 and the Powerball which has a current jackpot of $128,000,000, but the little twice a day daily draw that starts off at $100,000...

Well, the Salmon Cooked Up Well

Jim Bauer @porwest (102426) • United States 20 Jun

I actually intended to talk about the salmon I made this past Sunday sooner, but of course we had some technical difficulties with the pictures, and then a few things got me a bit distracted from the topic. I mean, it's not like...
