I found a spot on my new property that is always wet. Its 13 degrees out and I still have water coming up. A week or so there was 2ft of snow here and still you could see bare ground. There is a light layer of ice on top that goes away during the day. I live on the side of a volcano so, I'm...
I walk 5 miles a day. The amount of cigarette butts along the road have been on the increase since covid. People that I know, that haven't smoked in 40 years, like to have one or two a day. (That's how it starts) 1% increase last year according to the CDC. Ask the store we were at today if...
It's called Cheapheat . Talk to a gentleman from the company to see what I needed and two days later it is here. Now I will be able to run electric forced air in my 5th wheel when hooked up to a 50amp service. The gas furnace is still connected along with the thermostat. There is a switch...
Bought some 1932 Patent drawings from Germany. I want to frame them and put them in my shop. In the bottom of the box was two news paper. Not sure what I'm going to do with them. For now, it's just cool to have some history in my hand.
How long can you afford to fix and drive a car or truck?
Had this conversation yesterday and it is still going on this morning. My position is, there's a point where you start to lose reliability and you worry if you can make it to your next destination. Then you start calling friends and...
In 1979,the wife and I were setting up our 1st home. We both worked all the overtime we could in November to have extra money to buy Christmas decorations. I was making $4.34 an hour and the wife was making $2.90. Between the two of us we came up with an extra $30. The tree was $8 and the...
Vaping has caused lung damage form people using black market oils that have vitamin E in them. They do this so they can vape weed THC without anyone knowing. Mostly kids. So the answer is to take the good oils off the market and replace it with black market oils that kill people. Make it...
College athletes getting paid for the use of their name and number. Most of the kids that play football are street smart. There is only a few that are front runners and will make any money. How long do you think it will be until the front line wants its cut to hold up protection. No pay, you...
The wife was working on the books today for the LLC. I was fussing around in the kitchen and I hear this loving voice say "honey, what are you doing"? I'm reorganizing the frig was my reply. After a long pause and as I move the pickles to the door so I don't have to dig for them, I hear, "for...
Nothing I like better then a good cup of coffee. I found a roaster over on the Oregon coast called Bay City Rosters. They only roast two pounds of coffee at a time and let it rest for few weeks before they grind it. I don't like strong coffee, just rich flavor. There is a big difference...
I met a women today that was born in 1915. My day came to a stop and the wife and I visited with her for 4 hours. Her mind is as clear as ever and the stories just rolled out. Starting with how, when she was a kid, they went to town with horse and wagon. Walked to a one room school, twice a...
When it comes to big boy toys, you have to make it to Train Mountain. Flew in today, may stay the week. Miss Go-Fly has already picked out a locomotive.
I'm thankful for the life I have. The wife and I have been traveling around the lower 48 and having a great time doing it. Flew back to Oregon for the eclipse this summer and sat right in the middle of the shadow. Laid down over 14k miles so far this year. Made it to Arlington National...
Came back to Oregon to move my Mother into a new place we built for her. In her old house there was a sitting room off the kitchen. Us kids were trying to remember how old the wingback chairs were that we all sat in for the last 30 years. Dad would sit in there and read the paper in the...
There comes a time when you have to put your little sore loser party aside and do the right thing. It goes to show there is nothing that's off the table for the left. It brought tears to my eyes to watch Carryn Owens look to the heavens, to talk to her husband. The true hate from the left is...

What is wrong with these people. They compare this to the soldiers coming back from war on Fox News this morning. Some people still can't go to work. Wow.
