Not really trivial, but this is as good a place to drop it as any:   My son has a SATB2 gene mutation which has left him with a severe speech delay.  He didn't say "Mama" until he was 7 (he'

When your wife tells you to sit down we need to talk, right after you get home from a work trip and you're thinking, "great what the hell did I do wrong", and then she pulls out a positive pregnancy t

Oh, the shear ecstasy of watching my aggy neighbor across the side street pull, yank and tug on his power washer for 10 minutes and it would not start.  He was so flustered and pouring sweat already a

The "gurgle-gurgle" of waiter draining from the graywater discharge line, after having discovered that we don't have a sewer-cleanout.

(I didn't even know where the septic tank was, before this episode, actually; I'm installing a two-way cleanout next weekend. Because... yeah, we're not repeating this exercise. Ever.)

Leftovers that taste just right coming out of the microwave. I just heated up some pasta from a couple of days ago, and it has just the right flavor and consistency -- some things, when you reheat them, just taste like, well, reheated leftovers. But every now and then, you get something that's every bit as good reheated as it was the first time around, and when that happens, it's pure joy.

I love buying sparking grape juice in glass bottles before noon on Sundays. I always get someone tell me "hey you can't buy that! it's not 12" and I tell them I found a loophole in the law. "What's the loophole?". That's my secret. Can't tell anyone or they'll change the law. So stupid but it cracks me up every time. 

On the rare occasion I drink a soda out of a can and I'm in my car, you better believe I have akoozie on it and roll with my windows down taking sips of it like a boss.

As teenagers we'd get the 16 oz bottles of root beer and get the little paper bags like they give you for real beer.

New bar of soap in my shower.

Went on a hunt with some friends.  Had a big steak, baked potato, corn on the cob and salad supper the night we arrived.  Early the next morning, the guy that ran the ranch was up early cooking coffee and then proceeded into the single bathroom to shit and shower.

The next guy up wanted to take a quick shower before we went out.  The smart ass ranch foreman had saved some corn kernels from a cob  and smashed them into the once-used bar of soap in the shower and put the soap bar back up onto the soap nook replete with the corn glommed onto it.

The horrible screech that came from the next guy up in the shower was finominile.  We all had a good laugh.

Millennials and younger won't use bar soap.  They think it's gross and only use "body wash."  This includes my son-in-law former SEAL.

In my view, body wash is stupid and just a scam by the soap companies to sell more product.  Plus, the wash towel or whatever else you're using to apply the body wash is way more unhygienic than a bar of self-cleaning soap.

All kinds of awesome.  I'm going to have to remember that trick

Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrushes. We took a drive today out to Ennis, just to get out of the house and see something pretty. Fields and fields of bluebonnets and Indian paintbrushes all over the place. Plus, scored a Blizzard at Dairy Queen. Not easy to do in Dallas proper.

When you decide to have movie night during the lockdown and your 7 year old kid chooses Jaws as the picture.  

To this day I have a fear of open water because I saw Jaws on the big screen in 1976, when I was 8. As hokey as it looks now, to 8-yo NNM, it was scarring.

I am slightly younger than you so I have no idea why I was allowed to see that movie.  I was scared of swimming pools, bathtubs, puddles.  Hell anything with water.

Every once in awhile I like watching videos on YouTube of amateur bands doing covers of famous songs. Reminds me way too much of the covers we used to do in my band we had in high school. This is pretty much what it was like except we wore shirts

The moments on our walks where the 7 month old puppy actually walks next to me in the manner she should be based on the month of training classes we gave her before all this broke out. It's the weird moment where I think her little puppy brain actually gets it. We went on a family hike at a local forest near our house and she was out in the lead and doing great versus her normal "I must sniff everything in sight" behavior. There's a disciplined dog in there somewhere behind all that rambunctious mess.

Seeing the Blue Angels fly by. 8 year old inside me got a kick out of that. 

51-year old me got a kick out of that. So fun. Seems like the whole city turned out where I was.

A breezy and dry 70 degrees right now at deer camp in SE Uvalde county.  Sprinklers going on lawn by fire ring in the camp circle and fire flies are out and showing off. The dove, quail cardinals, red winged blackbirds and green jays at the bird feeder called it a day. On my 3rd ranch water.  All by my lonesome and couldn’t be more pleased after a hard day of cutting and mowing.

I’m not much of a tequila drinker, but I keep some good stuff stocked for guests or cocktails or whatever. One for mixin’, one for sippin’. 
 

Your post inspired me to finally investigate this Ranch Water thing. Picked up some limes, some Topo. 
 

It has been glorious.  For the past month, it has been the perfect Summer sippin’ especially with the heat coming on. Already had to go buy more Tequila (and limes, and Topo). 
 

Thanks for the push. And salud!

This thread lay dormant for a month and got bumped to page 2. Speaks volumes about the past month and all the surliness happening out there. 

Bit of a mellow, quiet morning in the After-life here. Sipping some excellent coffee at dawn. The sprinklers come on, and I am immediately grateful for all that I have. 

I already knew we were buying a quality house when we moved in a year ago, but I’m not used to having some of the seamless amenities that we have here:  sprinkler system, whole-house generator, alarm system, pre-wired sound, etc.  

I thought we were living well in SWFL before we came to our senses and came back home to TX. Even though the piney woods is a far cry from what I’m used to, I marvel at what a damn good decision it all has been. It’s the little things that make up the whole package, ya know?

Hell, I don’t need to be a 1%er, but being a 2%er ain’t too shabby...ha!

Happy Monday, ya flithy animals.

Just looked up what ranch water is all about.  Think I'm going to have to check that out for myself.

What's your preferred brand of tequila for ranch water?

Seeing rabbits when we go on walks in our neighborhood. It's interesting because back when life was normal and people were going to work every day, coyotes were everywhere. Now, I never see them out and about or have reports of them on our neighborhood Facebook group. But rabbits are always around now. So I guess more people at home and going out for walks kept the coyotes away which allowed the rabbits to not be as hunted.
