I’ve spent the last couple of days plugging away at my new book, Big Lake Ranger, which I had hoped to have out by the end of the month. But I am way behind schedule and I’m not going to make that goal. At least maybe I’ll have it done by the end of the […]
No, I’m not talking about that show with the nerdy scientists and the hot blonde chick, this was another kind of big bang. I had just finished proofing the last couple of chapters I wrote in my new book Big Lake Wedding yesterday afternoon about 2 PM and decided to go out and check the […]
The first time I heard the above saying was at a high school football game, when the home team was down and it looked like they were going to be out. The coach told his players they had to do something big if they wanted to pull off a win, and they had nothing to […]
I got an early start writing yesterday and things are moving along very well. So well in fact, that I thought I would be done with my new book by the end of the day. But Mother Nature and the computer gremlins were in collusion and they had other plans. This time of year we […]
Terry finally finished stuffing all of the envelopes with the new issue of the Gypsy Journal and told me she needed a day out, so we spent yesterday on the go. Well, after a delayed start, we did. With the back of the Explorer packed with bins of envelopes, the first order of business was […]
It doesn’t matter what you do for a living, whether you are a mechanic, a carpenter, or a plumber, you need the best tools you can get your hands on to do your job. Now, anybody who knows me knows that I am not allowed to touch any kind of tool you can buy at […]
This blog is going to make my buddy Greg White very happy. When we were shopping for new computers a while back, and considering the Apple products, Greg told me that they are not as failsafe and perfect as many Apple owners would have you believe and we would have problems with them, too. Greg […]
I want to thank everybody who e-mailed, left messages on Facebook, or called to wish me a happy birthday yesterday. You all sure made me feel very special! 🙂 Now, in case you have been living on Mars or Pluto for the last ten years or so and don’t know it, I am married to […]
Yesterday was one of those frustrating days when I just could not make any progress, no matter how hard I tried. Don’t you hate it when that happens? I started out by wading through the morning’s load of e-mails, including one from somebody who routinely sends me forwards, telling me it was very rude of […]
Today is our last day in Elkhart, and I have no idea where the time went. We got here August 11, and I think this has been the fastest five weeks of my life. We had a lot of things we wanted to get done while we were here, including kayaking on the Saint Joseph […]
Several readers have written to tell me that they have not been able to access my daily RV blog lately.The problem has me, Greg White, and Chris Guld from Geeks on Tour mystified, because a lot of readers are still reading the blog with no problem, and none of us have experienced the issue. Terry […]
After reading everybody’s positive comments about Mac computers, you all convinced me that it was time to take the plunge. So yesterday we took ourselves off to the Apple store at University Park Mall in Mishawaka to go computer shopping. I had already done a lot of research, and decided that the iMac was the […]
Yesterday we tackled a problem that has been bothering us for a while, remounting our flat screen TVs in both the living room and bedroom. The folks at RV Renovators in Mesa, Arizona did a good job of rebuilding our TV cabinets last winter, but after the job was done, we realized that we needed […]
Before we were even dressed yesterday morning, somebody was knocking on our door, and it seemed like the line of people stopping by never ended until well after dark. It was not a good day to get much accomplished. I spent over an hour on the telephone with Jim Guld from Geeks on Tour as […]
I wish I knew more about computers and the Internet. Even though I make my living working on these darned machines, I probably only know about 25% of what they are actually capable of doing. Some people make it look so easy. Last week at our Gypsy Gathering rally, Tom and Barbara Westerfield were in […]
