All you have to do is barely touch one of these things

and you will pretty much be hosed for a while

My son texted this Pacific Coast Highway

picture to me on his way up to Ventura.

 

Of course we have roosters and hens here

at the ranch. And those roosters WILL wake

you up. They do not mess around.

 

Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it if it makes you feel good.

A pile of rocks out back.

I like silicone wristbands. I have all kinds. I bought

these over at Walmart. I think I will wear them at work

on America's Birthday this year.

And these are some great tips. Thanks.

 

I am glad it ain't chew.

Late night gas run.

Boot Barn again today!

Another five dollar coupon put to good use.

And I have yet another five dollar coupon.

 I bought "The Revenant".

This movie looks.... I will say it.... breathtaking on Blu-ray.

Leave the popcorn and candy behind for this one. It is every

bit as brutal as you might have heard. It does not inspire munching

and more than once I put my popcorn aside. This is totally worth

watching, but you might be exhausted when it is over. Leo is great as usual.

It is still Easter here at the ranch.

Did you know that five and a half million peeps

are made every day and that their little eyes are

made of a non-toxic wax called carnauba?

From my August 2012 visit to the Gene Autry Museum.

This is the costume that Steve McQueen wore when he

starred as Tom Horn in the 1980 movie, "Tom Horn".

Tom Horn: Great movie. Kind of slow. Slightly a downer.

A close up of his hat, because I am all about hats.

I don't know who made it.

Tom Horn was Steve McQueen's last movie.

He died in November of 1980 from a heart attack

following surgery for terminal cancer.

Steve McQueen was the King of Cool.

When all else fails, there is always HOPE.

Impulse buys at Walmart.

I had just gotten up today and was washing my face

and this guy slithered out of the drain, freaking me out

a bit. The gunk you see there is whatever I could grab

to try and terminate his existence before he managed to

jump onto my face and lay eggs in my stomach.

Raid did the trick.

Shot in the butt, 12 gauge style.

The classic gag.

Reshaping a hat to my head.

I watched "The Force Awakens" last night and again tonight.

It was even better tonight. Above you see Han Solo in the

cockpit of the Millennium Falcon.

We are both happy about this.

 I bought my Blu-ray copy of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" today!

I know what will be playing at Borden Cinema tonight!

This movie is still playing in some theaters. I thought we

would have to wait until Christmas for this Blu-ray.

It's Christmas in April!

Huzzah, Rebels!

And I found this plucky little

droid on the end of a key-chain.
