Kicking Butts and Smoking Chickens: ODO 232
April 28, 2023 08:40 - 47 minutes - 32.4 MBIt's been a busy couple weeks and you know I've gotta tell you about it. First off, the boys had a taekwondo tournament a few weeks ago. And, despite not coming home with nearly as many medals as some other recent tournaments, we were more proud of them all than probably any other tournament day before strictly becasue of their great attitudes. Then, watch out, a new "man hobby" has entered the field in the form of smoking meats. We have purchased a smoker, and I got to cook up my very first ...

April 11, 2023 08:04 - 57 minutes - 39.2 MBNot much going on this week besides me spending way more time than usual baking bread and watching nerdy TV. In my defense, the baking is my wife's fault.

March 13, 2023 07:50 - 1 hour - 71.1 MBIt's been a while so this one is EXTRA LONG! I recently got my spring garden planted. This is my most intentional and, from an output perspective, ambitious planting yet. I got sidelined hard by a couple of kidney stones.

December 08, 2022 09:33 - 45 minutes - 31.3 MBAfter surviving NAPODPOMO, I’m trying to get back into the swing of doing more of the regular segments.

Between stupid criminals, stupid lawsuits, and stupid scientists, I think you may have to decide, just who is the “Jackass of the Week.” Of course, I have my regular ramblings, but I don’t have to tell you that, now do I?

November 01, 2022 19:04 - 6 minutes - 6.24 MBI've been out for a while and I'm using national podcast post month to try and jump back into the podcast.

Snowballing From Monsoons to Letterkenny and Back Again: ODO 224
August 23, 2022 08:00 - 56 minutes - 39 MBThe snowball that is my train of thought is all over the place this week. Why is it I keep starting off by talking about the weather? Of course, this rolls into a little chat about the side effects of having such an active monsoon season, like my yard getting overgrown and the damage on our local tree population. Naturally, this rolls into garden talk and about how it's almost September and that it's been nearly a year with my truck and we're still working on getting things fixed to get it le...
Monsoons, Medals, and Old House Memories: ODO 223

I've got an update on how my boys did at the ATA Taekwondo World Championships.

Working With My Hands: ODO 221
February 28, 2022 06:53 - 53 minutes - 37 MBThis week inadvertently became all about working with my hands.

October 23, 2021 10:05 - 53 minutes - 36.9 MBAnother week of sounding different, but this time I think it's from my new allergy meds. And in typical "me" style, I have a really long meandering story about our latest camping trip, getting lost hiking multiple times, and being sick that technically does relate to that first point. Speaking of lost in the woods, my one news story is about a criminal who did just that, and ended up needing a police rescue.

Too Much Talk About Genitals: ODO 214
October 13, 2021 19:16 - 47 minutes - 32.3 MBThis week is a weird one. I'm not gonna lie. After some health talk, I get into our recent TV habits, including the new Hulu series "Only Murders In The Building." I give a brief garden update, and a heads up on our upcoming fall camping trip. Then the news takes an unexpected turn into the world of genital manipulation and I just can't seem to escape. Not even when I get into how Skrillex's music can repel mosquitos. Did I mention it got weird? I'm pretty sure I mentioned it got weird... Le...
Singin' In The Car Voice: ODO 213
