With tomorrow being April Fool’s Day, I thought I’d provide any of you wanton prankster out there with a list of potential gags for your arsenal. Sadly April Fool’s falls on a Saturday this year so the token office pranks that get trotted out each April 1st will have to sit on the shelf [...]

I did some work yesterday on my house. The main water line coming into my house in the basement has been dripping constantly for about a month. Well, not so much a drip; more like a steady stream of water. The water line is leaking from a device attached to the inlet [...]

The new Switch is up (finally). I think I am going to change the arrival date of these to Tuesday mornings, he says after posting this week’s offering almost at midnight. This week’s post was not without its delays, not all of which were my fault. Better planning on my part would’ve [...]
