In a blog post a few days ago I posted a picture of our Laramie pickup after it had been ceramic coated by the nice folks at Global Mobile Detailing in Daytona Beach. It took them about three days to do the job and let it cure well, and when we picked the truck up, […]

Getting Technical

I spent yesterday getting technical. Yeah, right, we both know I have as much chance of doing that as I do getting skinny, don’t we? But I do have my moments now and then, believe it or not. Maybe I’m paranoid, and that’s possible since we have been burglarized twice, once coming back to our […]

With only a few days left before our kids come to visit, Terry and I have been busy getting ready for the big event. I started the day by going out to the garage and clearing off an accumulation of stuff that had piled up on the workbench. They say a tidy desk is a […]

One of the good things about publishing the Gypsy Journal and this blog is that I was always being offered products to try out, with the manufacturer hoping for a good review. Of course, when I told them that if I liked the item I would tell the world why, but if I thought it […]

My newest book, Big Lake Fugitive, is moving right along through the pre-production stages. Terry finished the initial editing and proofreading on Saturday, and yesterday I finished making all of the corrections she suggested. Then I sent it off to my second proofreader. She’s usually pretty quick, and as soon as I get back from […]

Anybody who knows me or has been reading the things I scribble every day for very long knows that for years my own personal rain cloud followed me around. Wherever Nick was, you can bet there was going to be bad weather. Seriously. Once we were holding one of our Gypsy Journal rallies in Yuma, […]

We didn’t get the heavy rain that the weather forecast said was coming yesterday, just a few scattered showers. But it was up around 90° and humid, so I was glad we took our boat ride on Friday. I had some projects around the house to keep me busy. Some guys would call them honey […]
