Dads, sons, and guns
Never was much of a gun guy. And neither was my Daddio. I know he had a few guns and growing up was able to see and know about all of them. He had a 22 revolver with a long barrel. Shot it a few times mainly at wood peckers that wanted to nest in our house. Probably knocked off more branches than woodpeckers. Just a kid knowing what a gun was and what it could do. He also had a snub nosed 38 revolver. Kept it on the top shelf back corner of his closet shelf. Yup I knew where it was. It was never loaded. The only time…

Golda Meir
Someone mentioned her in a meeting…. It’s Woman’s History Month so I found a pic and drew her.

Just why?
Scott!???! Why the fuck are you photographing a men’s room? Just because…. sometimes it’s not about the content, it’s about the edits. Weirdly, I had an idea, and yes…. this is what I settled on. Lots to say perhaps, or very little. Usually, the less you say in the men’s room is better. Get in, get out. Most guys know this… most women don’t. Some unsaid rule you learn. Does anyone remember the full-length urinals? Or the troughs? I know, sometimes I am weird. So be it.

More Dad Pics
I've been going through more pictures taken by my Daddio... Also, I am trying to figure out some new galley options. Too many, too confusing, and i kinda hate WordPress. Kinda, anyway. I only take credit for the edits.

I do Doodles
I’m doodling again. Still suck, but I do it anyway. Still figuring out my new laptop, so that is an explanation. Never an excuse. Anyway… #noTalentHack

Mudge boy, Line man, and UGH
A few weeks ago, I gave up my old Microsoft Surface for a new Microsoft Surface Laptop. It was working fine, but reasons… needed new and shiny, just wanted to, and just wanted it. So I just did it. With that came all the other things, my pen from Bamboo was OKAY, but wasn’t perfect… had to get the Slim Pen 2. It really works quite well. I like to play artist but have not been motivated much of the pandemic crazy time. Forcing myself back in cause it clears the mind. Today I needed it. Head crud the last two days (not covid) has kept me at home. Have…

I’m tired of things
I cannot tell you how many covid tests I have had in the last year. Maybe 1/2 dozen I think, but I’m not going back and counting… I don’t care to know. All needed, and not all out of exposure or worry. wo last February when I developed a fever that would not go away for 4 days. Turns out I had a tooth infection and antibiotics cleared that crap up. a few for preparing for travel down to see Mom, and a few from this stupid little notification. Exposure from 6 days ago… Normally it’s been 2…. and normally I’d run out and get a test, but 6 days…

Goodbye 2021! Hello 2022!
What can I say about 2021… another bang up, fucked up, mediocre year. Covid kinda went away, and came back… people got almost normal, but not. Idiots left the White House, but the country is split. Here in Colorado, we ended with a crazy fire…. and then bitter cold and snow. In all honesty, I can’t think of one significant thing that affected me in 2021. I went to work, I got vaccinated, I stayed home. What I lost out on, tho… visiting my Mom as much as I would to have liked. Movies. Co-workers. Hugs. Crowds. People watching. Car meets. I want to be poetic, but not even feeling…

Work and Family
It’s funny, I lost my dad almost 2 years ago, but as soon as I heard some news at work yesterday, I immediately thought of him. He was always the first person I called when big work news hit, and this news I felt the need to tell him. Our president is retiring. After 16 years, the last 5ish as president, he’s moving on to spend more time with his family. He’s sticking around till March, and his replacement has already been named. Dad always was asking about my job and life and everything. Whenever he saw a ad for my company in any magazine, he’d always bring it up……

Meeting Time
I appreciate online meetings. If I’m not doodling, I’m editing photos. I do pay attention to the meeting mostly, but it’s a distraction. What meeting tactics I hate? When the person just reads their slides. Don’t do that. Things to do? Enable closed captions or transcripts. Do this especially if your presenting over a big screen in a room. As good as remote is audio skittish sometimes and this helps.
