Quittin' Time - Mary Chapin Carpenter

I never owned a Leatherman. My nephew worked for Coleman for a number of years. He was part of the team that set up displays at camping shows. I was grazed a number of the Coleman multitools and pouches. I carry a small set in the glove box of my truck. A large toolset is with my mow gear. I use it to cut my .105 weed string. The tool is a good lineman's tool and the other tools in the case come in handy now and then.

The zipper keeps separating. I can't keep the pack shut. Is there any way to fix it? Yes, it's not beautiful but I was able to use it until recently.

Family is all a man really has in this world. Glad you had a day with yours @The_Chief

Ladies, you can tell a lot about a man by how dogs react to him.
For example, if the police K9 is biting him, he may not be ideal.

Our po folk dinner, when I was a teenager, was heat & eat Salisbury Steak and Gravy. If I never eat that stuff again I'll be content.

Yep, got one. Had one on my old cargo carrier. Nice, heavy duty, simple little accessory. Hardened, locking pin completes the setup.

Filled up 2 days ago at sams club station, $3.55 a gallon.

Got 6 trips to Houston this month for doctors appts.

Glad I sold the Silverado with the Votec for the small 4 banger I got now.

I baked some frozen taquitos for dinner. The picture on the box made the corn tortillas looked to be stuffed with bean and beef. If there was beef in there, I missed it. Even the bean paste was pretty sparce. They didn't taste bad but certainly something I'll not buy again.

I must admit that the new Call Screening in One UI 8.5 is a really nice successor to the Call Assist Text Call feature. I can tap a button and it will ask the caller their name and reason for calling. I simply listen in and can take the call if it's legit: usually, though, it's not and the call disconnects without my having to do anything else.


UPDATE: I found the Moto G Stylus 2026 to be the most counter-intuitive smartphone I'd ever tried to set up... that's saying something because it was the 15th smartphone I'd purchased since the OG Droid in 2009. I don't know who's in charge of Settings, but everything is scattered around; few things are where I'd expect them to be; and some things just aren't there (or I can't find them). Connections are hit or miss: my Sony headphones paired just fine, but my Sony earbuds didn't even show up as an available device. Plus, the sheer amount of bloatware on the phone is staggering!

As much as I've looked forward to this phone (for months), I quickly became content to reset and return everything while still within Motorola's "generous" 14-day return window. It's boxed up and will be headed back to Moto tomorrow.

^^^ Curiously (at least to me) the song I always first associate with Mr. Coe is, "You Never Even Called Me by My Name."

RIP, Mr. Coe, and thanks for sharing your talents.
