Caught a Raccoon
We’ve kind of adopted a calico cat that kind of moved in under the shed after I built it, we named her Cali because, well it took no work. We’ve even built a little hutch for her to winter in and it stores the auto feeder and camera we affectionately call the cat house cam.…

Last January Weekend
It’s still amazing to me how quickly time is moving as I get older. 2023 is off and running and January is already over. I was over at Adrian’s for his birthday dinner and was saying my goodbyes and told Rick I’d see him at men’s breakfast and he said see you next weekend, I…

And A Cold Front Arrives
I made hey when the sun was shining yesterday and the day before that by washing and polishing the vehicles. Today a cold front moved through, nothing major but it cooled it down. We managed to make it to the store to provision ourselves for the camping trip this weekend. $150 and it wasn’t really…

Hospital Time
So I got the news yesterday that mom fell. Grrr, I now know the frustration every parent has felt at some point when the kid does something stupid and the parent is like ‘what the fuck were you thinking, why did you do that’, it’s just now I’m saying it to my mom. Oh well,…

Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Dip
I need a little push in the right direction when it comes to eating right, so I found this recipe and have had no issue getting my apple a day in. Yes, this isn’t the healthiest thing but because you’re eating it with fruit, I’m calling it a push. Put everything together in your stand…
