I did not feel like making my daily run. However, I committed to running 100 miles this month, so run 100 miles I shall. Anyone interested in helping push me over the $100 dollar amount to at least make it a dollar a mile? gofund.me/09e74ad46

I don't typically walk the dogs on Sunday, because Miss Ma'am here doesn't take her cancer meds on the weekend, and a Sunday walk will completely drain her and leave her sore. She thinks missing a walk is terrible, so she threw a tantrum and tore up our bedroom.

Prior to the internet, The 700 club and the Cristian Broadcasting Network unified a lot of right wing Christians. Evangelical churches, like mine, helped control local TV stations. Christian and Right Wing radio blasting James Dobson filled hair salons, barber shops, and other businesses.

Staying up late is weird at 49. Drinking slowly and watching shows I'm behind on while realizing that I can't go to bed without herding a bunny back into the room she belongs in and setting an alarm to make sure the chickens get let out on time. Also, trying to remember if I made the truck payment.

Today's run for @americancancersoc.bsky.social was a 5 miler in the Organ Mountains. I'm at 12 of 100 miles for October. Please donate to my GoFundMe. Even $5 or $10 bucks goes a long way.

I'm going to run 100 miles in October anyway, so I might as well do it for a good cause. Almost everyone I know has either battled cancer or knows someone who has battled cancer. I'm asking all y'all to donate a few bucks. Maybe $5, maybe more. You help, I'll run! Please Repost! gofund.me/ae356b6aa

Digging flood relief and dams around my house because of a hurricane is not what I expected to have to do in New Mexico. Now waiting for news to find out if the towns north of us are going to need help due to the threat of a dam failing completely.

Jeebus! At 10.3% AAU, this Northern Brewer isn't messing around. Glad I sat down to do water chemistry and recipe refinement early. If I throw it all in, it would smack me in the face like the bitterest Altbier.

Couple of things: 1- I've interviewed and hired many people, and their beverage choice during a lengthy interview process has never been a concern. I'd hesitate if they were drinking straight bourbon, though. 2- Bio indicates an IPA dad. Never trust an IPA dad.

If you fancy reading a three-part history of a sort on Irish Red Ale here you go! It's not really an Irish thing anyway, the term only came into use here very recently, from beyond our shores. Part III is probably the most relevant if you want to skip forward. Good luck with the brew though! ...

Grains here for brewing. I don't usually buy kits, but this kit was well priced, and has lots of grain. It's ridiculous. It's marked as "Irish Red" but it is not Irish at all, and if I made this mess, I highly doubt it would be red. (cont.)

I thought it was a dream when my kiddo rushed in at 5am with every light on in the house and shouted "The bunny has escaped, the floor is wet, and I coughed myself awake, how much do bunnies pee?" Anyway, the city had a minor flood, water came through dryer vent, and the bunny went to high ground.
