Time is flying up on the mountainside. I have already been up here for almost three months. It feels like I should be further along. I spent the first couple of months combining a lot of the junk into one, give or take, big pile of junk. I was originally going to sort everything into piles destined for Goodwill, the…

A Vicarious View
My neighbor on the mountain is building a little cabin on his property. I thought you might be interested in seeing the snowy video he made last Christmas…..
Summer Breeze Makes Me Feel Fine
I am sitting in Charlotte waiting for a very stubborn Hurricane Florence to roll through North Carolina. Not just sitting but sitting in an empty apartment waiting for her. Charlotte is about 175 miles from the coast. I have been waiting for this b… er fine young lady to get busy. We have been watching the progress for the past…
Catch My Disease
My original plan after Amsterdam was to go to Denmark by Bus or train. After some research and some curious looks when I revealed that route to others, I learned that the scenery along the route is far from spectacular and a direct flight was way cheaper. So saving time, money and mind numbing boredom. And for the sake of…
Crash Into You
I had a nice week at the Crash Pad Hostel in Chattanooga. It was a slow week in Chattanooga so I pretty much had the whole place to myself. Chattanooga is growing on me although I might get bored there pretty quick. Seems like most people there are either young or married, neither of which are in my future that…
Going Where The Weather Suits My Clothes
For those of you keeping track, I have moved on from my 3 month stay in Cleveland. My Handyman skills were stretched pretty much to their maximum usefulness. I felt bad that I was getting room and board in exchange for on the job learning and daily roam arounds of the Lowes and Home Depot. Cleveland itself was good but…
Skinny Little Boy From Cleveland Ohio
The end of the year is rapidly approaching and I am quite busy procrastinating pretty much everything I have to do, I am going to cheat a bit and post my end of year status to the blog instead of doing a Christmas card. That way, I get an easy blog entry and you don’t get a paper cut opening…
There Is No Way Out Of Here
From earlier in the summer….. After a few days driving around the blast furnace between Los Angeles and Phoenix. I had had enough of the color of brown. I was eager for some fresh air, cool breezes and a bit of green. I headed to the mountain town of Flagstaff, Arizona via as much of the old Route 66…
Don’t Go Chasing Waterfalls
I wasn’t really planning on going to California on this trip. I just found myself crossing the border in my ongoing effort to avoid Las Vegas. But there I was, staring at the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and Mt Whitney with Yosemite beyond. How could I turn around now? But first I had to get past the…
Durango
On my last day of work, my Xbox team took me to an afternoon Seattle Mariners game. First row, First side on a blue sky day. Quite the honor since I was just a contractor. I think the Mariners may have even won. It was a lot of fun and a good ending to probably one of the more fun…
