I hate to admit this, but I’m really bad at screwing. If you don’t believe me, ask my wife. Okay, I know where your minds went, and get them right back out of the gutter, now! What you were thinking is disgusting, whether it may or may not be true. 😊 I used to say […]
Even though it’s still in the 80s during the daytime here in Arizona’s White Mountains, the wildlife have their own internal calendar. Saturday night, I heard elk bugling. If you’ve never heard the eerie sound of a bull elk challenging other bulls for dominance and summoning cows for mating, it’s a haunting experience. You wouldn’t […]
We had to get up at the ungodly hour of 6 o’clock yesterday morning because we had to be at the trust attorney’s office in Snowflake at 8. We originally formed our family trust in Florida back in 2021, but there are quite a few differences between Arizona law and Florida law. The easiest thing […]
I said in yesterday’s blog that I planned to put a clamp on the gas line of the Chrysler convertible to secure it to the fuel pump. I mentioned then that it would be a simple project for anybody else, but with me doing something mechanical like that, anything could go wrong. I’m happy to […]
Several readers have contacted me to tell me that I goofed with our last blog drawing. I usually start the contest on Thursday and draw the winner and announce them on Sunday evening. But with all the things going on with us going out of town for Terry’s parents’ 75th anniversary, I became calendar-challenged and […]
In Friday’s blog I mentioned that it was warming up here in Arizona’s White Mountains. That was brought home to me yesterday when I went out to water the clover I had planted. Fool that I am, I had forgotten to drain the black water hose after turning the water off the night before. When […]
Yesterday, our granddaughter Destiny graduated from the cosmetology program at Northland Pioneer College. She did it while also attending her senior year of high school, which she will graduate from on the 21st. We are so proud of this hard-working, motivated young lady. She sets goals, and she does the work to accomplish them. We […]
The weather sure did a quick turn around up here in the White Mountains. A couple of days ago, we had highs in the 60s and lows in the 30s. Yesterday it was 80, and it’s going to be in that neighborhood for at least the next week or so. But that’s okay. At least […]
Never ever try to proofread your own writing. It’s a basic rule that one should never violate. But sometimes you don’t have any choice. With Terry out of town, I had to proofread yesterday’s blog myself. In that blog, while talking about my new WYZE Bulb Cam Smart Security Camera I said that I was embarrassed […]
In a blog post a few days ago I told you that the powered headrest on my La-Z-Boy recliner had stopped working. I called their service department and was referred to the extended warranty company, who said they would send out a replacement motor, and when it arrived I would have to call again to […]
Every so often I contact some of my author friends to see if they have any e-books they are offering for free, and pass the information on to blog readers. Here is the latest batch, sure to give you some good reading Day Soldiers was selected by Digital Book Today as one of the Best […]
Yesterday was rather frustrating for me. Oh, who am I kidding? Let me correct that; yesterday was darned frustrating for me! I had planned to work on my new John Lee Quarrels book, but my computer didn’t like that idea and chose not to cooperate. For a while now it’s been running slow, not opening […]
I spent some time yesterday having an email conversation with a couple who are in their fourth year of fulltiming and said they feel like they are in a rut. Like all new fulltimers, when they started out they expected to be seeing new sites and having new adventures all the time, but in their […]
When you have a problem with a product, they say the first thing to do is RTFM. If you’re not familiar with that technical acronym, it means Read The F*****g Manual. Yeah, like a guy’s going to do that, right? Hell, we usually throw the manual away with the box the product came in, along […]
