Gonna watch Full Metal Jacket tonight....like for the umpteenth time! Maybe snack on some crayons while I watch 😋.

This is what I ended up with.

This one was next.

This water fountain used to be all black but I got bored with it so I refinished it in a metallic finish. Afterwards I set my sights on another statue that also needed a newer look.

Thank you!

Can't remember the name or where but its about an American journalist living in Japan investigating 2 different crime organizations. One character is a girl working as a hostess. Saw season 1and looking for season 2 but can't remember title or if it was on Prime, HBO, or whatever. Let me...

Demon Hunters one more time, and I'll have it memorized! Spent a week with my 4 year old granddaughter. Sees the movie once a day and listens to the songs at various times. Acts out and dances the scenes, makes me laugh and smile every time! Reminds me of my daughters, I memorized the Little...

Working nights in the west Texas desert, you see things. One was a dull red orb, and it looked like a red eraser held at arms length. Traveled in a slow but halting manner than faded away. I looked to my co-worker sitting next to me. I asked if he saw it, and he said yes. Made no noise, and...

Brisket and cheesy rice (what grandkids call broccoli casserole) otherwise won't eat it if I use the "B" word. Their favorite and always ask for it.😋

Retire. The following day, all the BS, all the seemingly critically important tasks, the office drama, will be somebody else's problem. I found after 2 weeks that I retired, I was ready to go back to work only because I would take 2 weeks off, and it was time to go back. Did that for 30...

You raise crows so they can poke your eyes out. Something I heard in Spanish from my mom.

Although I retired 12 years ago I always worried that I wouldn't get to retire. I saw others pass away by accident, disease or act of violence. As an LEO there was always that chance but I made it and very grateful to have come so far. Married, kids, promotions, kids raised right, kids with...

Not a movie but used to watch Combat on TV, afterwards I'd meet up with friends to reenact the episode. We spent more time arguing about who was going to play what part than actually playing. Those were good times playing outdoors then mom would come out and yell at you to get in the house.
