Hi everyone, Welcome back, friends! How are you? It suddenly turned into a crazy week here. I picked up some large branches out of the back yard yesterday morning. They were casualties of Monday's wind, and some of them were fairly large. I was relieved the car was in the garage and wasn't hit by any of them. Only problem was, when I went to run an errand yesterday afternoon, I looked up and saw a large tree limb sticking out vertically from the other side of the garage roof. That was no good. A quick check inside the garage,... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? The wind finally died down yesterday, so I slept much better last night. Wait, what's this? BDH and Little Buddha say today will also be windy? Son of a...hold on, they forgot to refresh the page. We're looking at a sunny day with a high of 60 degrees and not much wind. Much better. The guys need something new to read, so we're heading to the bookstore after we're done here. First, let's go through the headlines. There's a fresh pot of coffee on the counter, so grab yourself a nice medium DD,... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! Ready for a new week? Yeah, me neither. The wind woke me up early this morning, and BDH and Little Buddha say it's supposed to last until about 6:00 tonight. Hopefully we won't lose power. Is it just me, or have the last few months been windier than usual? I don't care for that at all. One thing that does make me happy is that the Clutter Store is back! BDH and Little Buddha have been working hard to come up with some new items for you to enjoy, so give it a look after we're... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? What's the plan for the day? Our crew is all doing well. It will probably be pretty quiet around here. BDH and Little Buddha say it will be sunny, but a little cooler than it has been recently. I should do a little cleaning, water the plants, and then maybe just read with the guys for a while. We'll see. Anyway, now that you're here, let's sort through the headlines. There's coffee on the table, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's time to clear out some Saturday Clutter. The calls... Read more →

One of the things we're most excited about for 2021 is the release of the Mammoth WVH debut album on June 11. As longtime Van Halen fans, we watched Wolfgang Van Halen in action for years with his legendary father and uncle. There's no doubt, the guy's got chops. We've been waiting for years to hear him do his own thing, and the wait is almost over. The early results have been promising, with "Distance," the moving tribute to the late Eddie Van Halen, and the rocking, "You're to Blame." In case you haven't heard, the talented Van Halen played...

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all! Congratulations on making it through another week! Wasn't entirely sure I'd get through it in one piece yesterday. I was taking a long walk to enjoy the gorgeous weather, and I started to cross the intersection, as a car approached from my left. I absolutely had the right of way but did not wait for him to come to a complete stop first. Big mistake, because he rolled right through the intersection, never looking in my direction, and he would have clipped me if I hadn't jumped out of... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? I was just telling BDH and Little Buddha that I'm glad it's raining a little right now. As much as I love the warmer weather, it seems like we could use some showers. The guys say there should be more tomorrow, so that's good. The birds are chirping away, so our crew are happy campers this morning. I'm being told the birds are definitely saying we should get to work. Sounds like a plan. There's a pot of coffee on the counter, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's time to... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? I banged my foot against the corner of the bricks around Dad Clutter's wood stove yesterday, and I was sure I broke my little toe, which was unfortunate. Now I'm hoping it's just a bad bruise, so that sums up my mood at the moment. BDH and Little Buddha say I'm welcome to join them as they listen to the birds this morning, and they tell me it should be decent weather today. Those two are the best at maintaining a cheerful attitude about life. We should all be more like them. Oh,... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? BDH and Little Buddha are waiting for the birds to start chirping. I wonder if they're still adjusting to the time change, but I'm sure we'll hear them soon. We're in the point of the year where the heat kicks in for about an hour before taking a nap for the rest of the day. The guys say it's supposed to be in the 60's this afternoon, which is a reminder I need to get them some new shorts for spring. I don't think we're going to the bookstore today. A good friend...

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? How was the rest of your weekend? My back was still bothering me yesterday, but I went for a couple of walks to enjoy the beautiful weather, and the fresh air was fantastic. There are also a few little bits of green peeking through in the garden, which makes me happy. I could get used to this spring concept. The back is looser this morning, and BDH and Little Buddha just said it's supposed to be nice out again today, so here's to starting the new week on a happy and productive note.... Read more →
