06-09-2026 — Life continues

Howdy all. Just a quick update to let the world know all is not too bad here. Yes, my back/hip/flab still hurts each day. Yes, I am still not sleeping each night. Yes, I am not doing much outside, or even inside. Yes, my EcoFlow battery is still in its box on a cart, waiting for me to add it to the stack.

So what have I been doing lately? Well, I’ve watched a ton of Tube. For example, 24 years later than most people, I just watched the one season of Firefly on TV. That really was a decent show. So was the followup movie, Serenity. Because of the nature of the plots, it has not really aged. It is basically a Western in Space theme.

In 2002, I was too busy working 70-80 hour weeks at my job to watch any TV. Now I have the time, but a majority of the shows are not interesting to me. First off, I hated dealing with stoopidity at any time in my life. The last thing I want to watch for entertainment is people that are too dumb to be real. Hey, I may as well watch political TV all day. I prefer “intellectual” comedy, instead of slap-stick. I enjoy shows like the various Sherlock Holmes themed ones, or, House type medical. The Pitt is a good example of a show mixing action and drama with intelligent dialog.

I also spend a lot of time watching YouTube videos by talking heads discussing real news issues or showing off Maker Skills. If the person knows their sheet, I’d gladly watch them design and knit and sweater, rather than watch a bunch of fools trying to prank and hurt others.

Anyhow, that’s my life at the moment.

I took this pic of my baked rigatoni midway in the process. Needed to stir it up, add some cheese on top, and an aluminum foil “lid’, and bake until a more solid dinner.

It turned out well, and was quite tasty. At least the first two days. Now, well, not looking so good, and I’m tired of eating it.

Regardless of how you are spending your days, be sure to Enjoy Life
