I always enjoy going to Disney World. At least I used to. It started with the concerts. I’ve been going to see the concerts at EPCOT for over 10 years now. Groups from my generation (primarily the 60s but some from the 50s and 70s as well) have been performing during the Flower Power Concert…
Beginning Preparations to Purchase A New 5th-Wheel Trailer
In order to afford a new truck large enough to pull a descent 5th-wheel, some things need to be sold off. Like all of our cars and the house, and yes, even the airplane. I’ve been working to get the jeep working again (it’s had a computer problem – to start with) and I just…
Future Changes
One of the things I’ve been contemplating lately is going RV. I say lately but it’s been in the back of my mind off and on for the last 2-3 years. There seems to have been a surge in interest in RV purchases and extended vacations as well. Because of Hurricane Michael which ravaged our…
Hurricane Michael – WOW!
Hurricane Micheal was one for the record books! My house and my neighborhood took a direct hit; the eye passed right over us. One neighbor who stayed said the eye took over 30 minutes to pass by! We were buffeted by 155+mph winds first from the east and then from the west after the eye…
The New Drone Is Here
The drone that I ordered a few weeks ago has come in and I’ve been spending the last couple of weeks practicing with it. There are several moving parts to this; 1) I need to learn how to control and maneuver it; 2) I need to learn and practice the various auto modes for control…
No Problem Here
No, we don’t have any bear problems out here where I live. At least not until recently. There has always been a small bear population in this area but they’ve pretty much kept to themselves and only a few lucky people got a chance to see them. Maybe around 5 years ago or so a…
Last Photo of 2017
I thought I’d share my final photo I took in 2017. There were lots of hunters out in the Apalachicola National Forest with their “high rise” 4x4s and dogs all looking for a deer. All I did was drift along the bumpy back roads with my little red jeep and found these little ladies! Mind…
Native Plants Are Important For Wildlife
Please consider utilizing native plants when planning and updating your landscapes. Why you ask? Good question. This is from the Audubon’s Plants for Birds program: “So why are native plants so important to us and birds? The reasons are fairly complex, as most things in nature are, but the basics are fairly easy to…
Feeling Hopeful
I just checked the weather for Columbia, Missouri which is where I’ll be next Monday for the eclipse. The forecast is looking great so I’m hoping it holds. I’d hate to drive all the way up there just to get clouded out like I recently did for the Perseids meteor shower this past weekend. Way…
Hip Hip Hooray
It’s been too long finding a solution to this problem but I’m finally able to access all of my web sites I manage from home again. For some reason during the last 30-40 days I’ve been unable to access my sites hosted at GoDaddy from my Exede satellite internet provider. They have been pointing fingers…
