So here’s the deal.  We came under sniper fire yesterday and A.Ron tried to pull a Fring. He defiantly charged right into the path of fire, arms out, yelling “Come at me, Bro!“.  It was totally bad ass! Unfortunately, he’s not the head of a regional meth distribution network (though he does love chicken) so…

Hello!  In case you missed the news, a business trip to Chicago is going to delay our podcast this week.  Instead of posting Monday night, it’s going to drop Tuesday evening.  In the meantime, hopefully our instant reviews (this one is mine, and this one is Jim’s) will tide you over. I have to give…

Sorry about yesterday.  The good news is, I did get a lot of work done, and Casa A.Ron has functional indoor plumbing once more.  The bad news is all the crawling around in crawl spaces and hefting big ass water tanks and softner systems has wrecked my body.  I’m not quite at Hank level immobility,…

I have some legitimately bad news to break today, as my well’s pressure tank basically exploded yesterday, flooding my garage and leaving me without the all important H2O.  Consequently, I’m taking the day off to replace it.  If the task goes quick enough, I’ll post later on today, if not, I’ll do a super-sized news…
