Water Filter

April 29, 2019

house water filter assembly

This is a bad post for one of my friends. You know who you are – please stop reading now. I installed water filters on my house water supply line.  I’m not a clean freak or germophobe but living for some years in my motorhome showed me how unclean water can be. The following is… [Read More]

For those that are into recording your walking steps per day, check this out! A new personal best! Maybe even a world record!! Funny thing is, about all I recall doing on this day was sitting on the tractor working on the airstrip…. Odd…

Touchy Feely Nonsense

March 6, 2018

fat lazy pig selfie

One of my sister’s has been demanding a touchy-feely post – so blame her for this…. What is going on… I’ve spent this winter around Truth or Consequences (T or C), NM. Not because T or C is the warmest place I could find or because there is a huge population of beautiful, wealthy, single… [Read More]

Annual RV Water Filter Change

January 4, 2018

Missy 1998 MCI 102-EL3 coach water pump liquids plumbing wet bay

I suspect most people would change their RV water filters during the warm summer months. Not me!! I do mine in the winter. Why? Because I am not the brightest bulb on the planet! No other reason. As you’ve probably seen from my water system diagram, I have a total of five water filters. As… [Read More]

The Wonders of a Cold Shower

October 27, 2017

Missy Shower Bathroom Glass Tile Delta Porter In2ition Faucet Oil Rubbed Bronze

I had two friends visit me a weekend or two ago. Both of these fellows are hearty enough but, sadly, fairly domesticated. I had almost forgotten what it was like… The shower in Missy is plenty “usable.” However; when boondocking, there is no hot water. This is because I just haven’t gotten any further in… [Read More]

Bright Lights in Your Eyes

September 22, 2017

Lasik eye laser vision correction nearsighted

I wear glasses. I’ve worn them since the fifth grade. I don’t like them. I’ve worn contacts since late in high school. They are better than glasses but still a nuisance. Of course, I have some astigmatism so I get the more expensive contacts. Back when I had a wife, picking out glasses wasn’t quite… [Read More]

An apple is trying to kill me!

July 17, 2017

Evil Green Apple Allergy Allergic Pain back

Yes, an apple is out to kill me… I’ve told a couple people this tale of woe and very few believe me. This is a true story. I’ve eaten apples my whole life. A few years ago, I ate one just like normal. I don’t remember what kind it was – probably a green one… [Read More]

Hiking… without a bike???

October 12, 2016

Colorado trail mountain bike hike hiking walk

Today I tried something different. Instead of going for a bike ride on the Colorado Trail, I went hiking instead. It actually turned out to be very enjoyable!  Hiking the steep, rocky climbs were so much easier without having to push a 30 pound bicycle up the hill!! I know… I know…. I am supposed… [Read More]

Two Year Cycling Accident Update – Shattered Humerus

October 4, 2016

On this day, two years ago, October 4, 2014, my life took a drastic change. That was the day of my cycling accident. The surgeons notes say: “Left distal humerus fracture. Highly comminuted. Open fracture.” This means the elbow end (distal) of my left upper arm bone (humerus) was badly shattered (highly comminuted) and bone… [Read More]

DANGER: Wet Paper Towel

August 17, 2016

wet paper towel klutz accident

Yes, some people can injure themselves with a wet paper towel. Trust me, I realize that it is a VERY shocking fact. No amount of warnings and training can save these folks. I see it repeated over and over again on various forums. I fell off a ladder. I dropped a hammer on my foot…. [Read More]
