The Mr. Coffee Pod Killer 
11/28/2024 – I was planning on driving north a couple of hours to celebrate Thanksgiving with friends. Unfortunately, a forecast of 5″ of snowfall local to their area, and the prospects of driving home late at night on bad roads, caused me to cancel. So I am home, turkey bird-less, […] [Read More]
Serious Chili
11/17/2024 – I am caught up with the season, both current and coming. Yesterday was the last task, removing leaves from around the house foundation and most of the lawn. This wasn’t removing leaves under a now bare maple tree in the middle of the lawn. This was doing penance […] [Read More]
Winter Is Coming
11/14/2024 – I am just finishing downloading the balance of my pages on Facebook onto a 64 GB thumb drive. I am not sure why, because I will doubtlessly format the thumb drive when the task is completed. And then I will delete all of my Facebook pages. These actions […] [Read More]
This Could Be The Last Time. Maybe The Last Time. I don't Know... Part 2 (URL is definitely correct this time!)
10/27/2024 – Just walked back from the mailbox. Every little bit of exercise helps. Those leaves did not spend a whole lot of time in their colorful transition from green to the pile on the ground autumn brown. I intended to toss the camera gear in the truck and drive […] [Read More]
Does Procrastination Drive Spending?
10/24/2024 – It’s not like I don’t like my generator. In fact, I love it.

As an […] [Read More]
An Inexpensive CC Holster
10/16/2024 – Normally, if there is any such thing as normal these days, I would post this to Facebook as a brief comment. Unfortunately, the mental blanks at Facebook saw fit to remove our 2 million follower firearm publication page, all for the crime of posting pictures of firearms. I […] [Read More]
A Texas Road Trip Odyssey
10/15/2024 – Leaving on a Jet Plane… The following is a long, wandering narrative describing my very recent road trip. It serves no purpose other than to get the thoughts out of my head to make room for other things. Traveling is fraught with peril. If you leave home, nine […] [Read More]
This Could Be The Last Time. Maybe The Last Time. I don't Know... Part 1
10/12/2024 – My Texas kids, their families and friends are doing really well. Everyone is working hard, either at a job, finishing college or heading to college. I am so proud of them. Life is so good. Not always, but it is at this moment, so I’ll take it. And… […] [Read More]
Texas, Pickup Trucks And a Long Past Due Road Trip
09/17/2024 – I was supposed to bring my 2006 Chevy Work Truck back from Texas in October of 2023. The truck was to be a hot rod project, complete with big plans, a big engine and maybe a little drag racing. Unfortunately, I took a nap, lost the inspiration and, […] [Read More]
End Of Summer And The 7x57 Mauser
Here we are. Not even mid September, but night temps are dropping into the 50s during the day and mid 40s at night. The smell of wood burning stoves is in the air, and all of this green will soon turn to New England tourist gaping autumn colors. I don’t […] [Read More]
