Mountain Biking to Stonehenge

August 2, 2019

stonehenge mountain bike

I know… Stonehenge was entirely unexpected! My son and I went mountain biking on some local trails this past weekend. As we were scooting down the trail – it popped out of nowhere! I thought it was a much longer ride to get there but apparently not. For some reason, I also thought it was… [Read More]

For Pete

blood guts cut hand sharp knife

I normally try to keep my wood working tools pretty dull. Actually, all my cutting tools. Recently, a friend was teasing me about how dull my knife was so I sharpened it. This is the result!! This is for you Pete!! For those of you that recognize Pete’s name from comments here, he (and his… [Read More]

Eggs and the Facts of Life

May 16, 2018

Eggs are a bit of an unknown. I suspect many of the city-slickers that read this blog are not completely aware of where things come from – such as chickens, cows, cats, rabbits, and so forth.

Kate Beckinsale

Typically I would write a letter to Santa and include my requests.. However; so many people have been asking what I’d like for Christmas, I thought I had better put a list together. I don’t know how to get all of you to coordinate so I don’t get more of one particular item but don’t… [Read More]

Hunted deer baby camping forest

I had the pleasure of watching a small group of deer over the course of the last week. This little group spent a lot of time where I was camped in the Gunnison National Forest.  It is harder to tell from the photos than in real life but it was a Mamma and two babies. … [Read More]

Diesel Pusher Motorhome Fuel Mileage MPG Newmar Dutch Star Cummins ISL Allison

I recently purchased and installed a ScanGaugeD (here).  This past week I did a bit of driving and had a chance to play with my new toy.  I find it very interested to see the data being reported. One of the really interesting items is fuel mileage.  I’m not sure yet how accurate it is… [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]

Rude and Confrontational

June 8, 2016

I am a very bad person. I post a fair amount on a couple of RV forums where I genuinely try to help other RV’ers. Apparently the forum moderators of at least one of these forums are part of the new era – the nobody is wrong, everyone is right, nobody should have their feelings… [Read More]
