We spent a long weekend in New Mexico a few weekends ago. It was great to get away. On our last day there, we took one last ride up the ski lift to mooch around in the freezing cold at 10600 feet, then came back down and waddled over to "El Jefe", a restaurant across … Continue reading New Mexico Green Chile Stew

It Never Ends
Every morning the boys tell me it's time to walk. Girlfriend (Aria) is usually in the sunroom on a vigil for squirrels. I have to coax her to walk. Eventually, I give in and take them out. Any why not? It buys me 8 hours of them loafing and leaving me to work. https://player.vimeo.com/video/583589445?badge=0&autopause=0&player_id=0&app_id=58479 Let's … Continue reading It Never Ends
One Vine
Cucumbers So awhile back, I put in some raised gardens. I planted one cucumber vine that I picked up at Home Depot. Then built a trellis for it to climb. After awhile, we've been getting cucumbers every day. Way more than we can eat. Which is a good thing, since I've taken a liking to … Continue reading One Vine
Sunday Music
When I had facebook, this video would hit my feed about every week. And I'd watch it through each time. https://youtu.be/8L82II1lNjo Masters. You're looking an masters playing. Look how seamlessly they pass leads back and forth. The older voice of Steve Winwood makes the song even better than it was back in the day. It's … Continue reading Sunday Music
I can watch this all day
My new mental patient channel on Youtubes is ViceGrip Garage. I can watch this dude all day. What he does is find abandoned relics, gets them running, and drives them home. Usually. Although one episode he got beaten by an F-250 that spent way to long rotting. Why do I like this? First and foremost, … Continue reading I can watch this all day
Get Ready for the Deluge
So I have/had 40 days of vacation that have to be used before the end of the year. And in my new employers world, they have to be scheduled and used. No biggie. I explained to my new boss that I couldn't give a shit. But if I had to, I had to. So I … Continue reading Get Ready for the Deluge
Angel Fire, NM
It's been a long time since I've written about travel. Mainly because if I've gone anywhere, I've gone back to where I've been before and that's boring. This last weekend found me in AngelFire New Mexico. I've been to New Mexico a number of times, once in Albuquerque to teach a class, and the second … Continue reading Angel Fire, NM
Me Too…
Stumbled upon this post at Kim DuToit's site. And I couldn't agree more. Over the last few weeks I have probably meant to blog a dozen times about the continuing crisis. But as soon as I start something else even more stupid pops up. This last week it was the illustrious fraud in chief Biden … Continue reading Me Too…
Don’t Grow Old…
I meant to write a short post, laughing at one of the senior moments I've been having lately, but I figured I'd plug something great while I build up what set me up for this moment. I found Duluth Trading when I was looking to score some dude stuff to add to the son and … Continue reading Don’t Grow Old…
