Two For Tuesday – 205

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009 @ 6:50 am | Photos, TFT | By: Midwestern City Boy

Sometimes, I wonder what I would do without California Girl, especially on days like yesterday. Having her around really helps when I’m not having a good day.  To say I was frazzled is an understatement. Our photo session was the only thing memorable. Here are a couple of photos of California Girl. I think you [...]

A Frustrating Day

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009 @ 11:30 pm | Bitching, General | By: Midwestern City Boy

I spent way too much time today finding and fixing an incompatibility between two plugins. It was a very tedious process of elimination to locate the conflict. And unlike normal, it was also tricky to correct. Sometimes I wonder why I am always the first person to encounter things. And, to top things off, Domino’s [...]

Handyman

Monday, September 28th, 2009 @ 11:55 pm | General, Him | By: Midwestern City Boy

Long ago, one of my online handles used to be Handyman. Not because I was a prolific DIYer; but from the prehistoric human Homo habilis. These days; however, I’ve become more of a traditional handyman. I seem to be spending a lot of time fixing things that are broken. In addition to keeping three cars [...]

Bengals Win!

Sunday, September 27th, 2009 @ 11:26 pm | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

After what seemed like forever; but was actually “only” eight years, the Bengals finally beat the hated Steelers in Cincinnati. For a beleaguered Stripes fan that is used to taking abuse in the break room at work I am going to enjoy rehashing the game on Monday. And, enjoying drinking the proceeds of a few friendly [...]

Saturday Slop

Saturday, September 26th, 2009 @ 8:29 pm | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

The Girl didn’t have a soccer game today and is at the 18th birthday party for one of her girlfriends so we’ve got the house all to ourselves this evening. She has a summer birthday so she’s younger than almost all of her friends; but, it still doesn’t seem like any of them should be [...]

HNT – 212

Thursday, September 24th, 2009 @ 12:00 am | HNT, Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

We showed the view from behind the camera on Tuesday so today we are showing the view through the camera’s lens. You can probably guess what California Girl is doing in the first photograph. And we liked how the way that you can see how our hands were moving in the second photograph. If you [...]

Two For Tuesday – 204

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009 @ 10:00 pm | Photos, TFT | By: Midwestern City Boy

Readers sometimes ask about our camera setup so we thought that we would take a photograph of it. We use an infra red remote control or take interval photos depending on the placement of the camera. You’ll have to wait until Thursday to see the action shots.

Comment Notifications

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009 @ 9:15 pm | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

After being gently prodded by Rage, I enabled comment reply notifications. If you want to be emailed when California Girl or I reply to your comment check the “Notify me of follow-up comments via e-mail” box at the bottom of the comment form. The box is unchecked by default; you have to opt in to [...]

Fall Sports Season

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009 @ 7:00 pm | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

You can probably tell by the lack of posts this month that the fall sports season has begun. Not that we are apologizing. We love this time of year. Especially since the weather has been good for outdoor sports. The Girl plays soccer two or three times a week. And of course there are three [...]

HNT – 211

Thursday, September 17th, 2009 @ 12:00 am | HNT, Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

I mentioned on Tuesday that we are back in the groove after California Girl was sick for a few days. So here is a picture of us getting our groove on. She’s on her period; but, like always, we didn’t let that stop us. I never realized how much of a grip she had of [...]
