To paraphrase an old saying, There's a LAST time for every thing. As I write this, my last post here, I have a tear in my eye and a lump in my throat. But the time has come. I would never leave y'all without saying goodbye. I dislike goodbyes but to just disappear without a word would be...

Rusty, my friend, Iam SOOO sorry to see this about Ruthie!! All my love and prayers are up for you both and will continue. I have been through a lot of rough storms {power/internet outages) and dealing with all the trees that are getting blown down. Call me. If I don’t answer leave me a...

Miss Pam finally got tired of listening to me whine about my laptop. She ordered me a new remote key board. All keys are fully operational. :cool: Soooo all future typos will be due to my lousy typing and not the fault of my lap top. Onward and upward...

For all my whining about all the technology we must all endure I now find myself swimming in a sea of it. I bought a new Chevrolet Colorado and it has all there is to be had...even 4-W drive. I had a hassle trying to get all 4 shots on here. I hoe the come out.

This is true. In the fullness of time many things come full circle. Now that I am an octogenarian I am beginning to to gain perspective on some of the circumstances of my life. I have had passions for three main recreational activities...

When we moved up here nearly 4 years ago I had a 4-car garage built. I only have one car as wife doesn't drive any more, but this was my last chance to have the garage of my dreams. I have room for my car, my riding lawnmower, my golf cart, all my yard and garden...

Friday night we had about as bad an electrical storm as I have been through. 22 counties in North Texas lost internet. They got our tower back up earlier today. It may be a while before they have everyone back on line. I guess we have other members that were affected. May they get their internet...

Even in my early childhood we never had a toaster that was any good. Now, before you shake your head and cluck your tongue stop and think about over 7 decades of burnt toast, un-toasted toast, Bread toasted more on one side than the other, and toasters that would not pop-up. Not 1, not ever...

Looking through my files for something interesting, I ran across this. I wrote in Y2K. One of my first fishing reports. This one really takes me back. Even though it is about fishing it demonstrates what sleep derivation can do to ones thinking processes, even an old shift worker. F I S H...

We ordered a lot of CDs for Christmas from Walmart and Amazon. Most of them don't play. We reordered and most of the replacements don't play either. No way this isn't affecting lots of folks...

Reacher season 2 now playing on Prime! :cool: Guess what I'll be watching tonight. In a couple of days I'll go back and watch season 1 again (for the 5th time) and then watch season 2 again. unfortunately it only has 3 episodes. :(

I'm sure that many of you will agree with me. Mine is Ron White. But I suggest you check out Sebastian Maniscalco. He is Sicilian and really works the Italian accent. Especially when he talks about his father. The first time I saw him I found him to be kind of irritating. But I quickly became a...

I was diggin' through my files and ran across this. I don't remember exactly when I lived it or wrote about it (circa 1999 - 2000) but it opened my eyes as to what to expect in the way of lodgings in the small hunting and fishing town of Matagorda in South Texas. Think "Appalachia". I don't...

A couple of years ago my niece and her husband put in a swimming pool. Early on, Wednesday was designated as "SENIOR DAY at the pool. All the young 'uns are working so all us retired folks hit the pool about 2pm on Wednesday (weather permitting). Most days lately the temps are 100 degF or...
