We were up early again yesterday morning, threw the suitcases and a couple of other things in the back seat of the truck, hooked up the cargo trailer, and were on the road by 9:00 A.M. I was very pleased with how the truck handled the trailer going down the highway. As I said in […]
Contrary to what a lot of people seem to think, COVID is not dead and gone. It is still a very dangerous disease, with thousands of people being hospitalized for it every day. And even those who have been vaccinated and boosted are still not out of the water, as our son Travis and his […]
We started yesterday with a phone call from our son Travis, wishing Terry a happy birthday. They chatted for a little bit, and then we got ready to head into Holly Hill, a northern suburb of Daytona Beach. As I wrote in yesterday’s blog, we had an appointment at Global Mobile Detailing to have them […]
Some of you may recall that in a blog post during our trip out west, I reported that just as we were leaving El Paso, Texas, to cross into New Mexico, a small stone flew up and chipped the windshield in our Laramie pickup. I had planned to get it fixed while we were in […]
They call it Texas because it “takes us” days to get across the darn state. We spent Saturday night at the Hampton Inn in Marshall, TX, and were on the road about 10 o’clock the next morning. I was dreading going through the Dallas-Fort Worth area because there’s always so much traffic, but by hitting […]
I have to give my ever-patient wife credit, because for the last few days she’d have had better company and more help around the house from a mannequin. I have stopped taking the Delta 8 during the day, only using it at bedtime. Otherwise, the Cymbalta seems to be keeping the worst of my back […]
Except for my daily blog, I’ve been slacking off in the writing department since the release of Big Lake Ranger right after Christmas. I did bring out Murder, Mayhem, And Main Street a week or so ago, which is an e-book bundle with the first books in my three different mystery series along with a […]
Our new 2022 Ram Laramie pickup truck has a black interior with silver accents. But for some dumb reason, the molding alongside the console and around the radio is some kind of cross between tan and gold. I have no idea why whoever was putting it together in the factory did that, but it is […]
In yesterday’s blog, titled Boob Tubers, I mentioned watching Yellowstone and the premiere of 1883, but I failed to mention another TV show we have been enjoying. 911 Crisis Center focuses on the emergency dispatchers at the Chagrin Valley 911 Dispatch Center in Walton Hills, Ohio, near Cleveland. It’s an interesting look at what happens […]
Besides all the normal things we do in life, along with writing and editing and proofreading books and running to doctors’ appointments because Lord knows we have a duty to help them make payments on their luxury cars and large boats, Terry and I have been busy getting ready for visitors. And we are really […]
In yesterday’s blog I talked about setting goals and said that I would be achieving a goal I had worked toward for quite a while now sometime yesterday, and that I would tell you about it today. I hope you don’t think I’m bragging, but it’s something I have looked forward to for a long […]
As I’ve shared here before, back in June I ordered a new 2022 Ram Laramie pickup. At the time, I was promised a delivery date from late July to sometime in mid-August. Of course the chip shortage and shortages of other materials put that way behind schedule, which is no fault of the dealership, and […]
