Oh Dear! Has half of the year gone by, and this will be my first blog of the year. I am doing too much Facebook and not enough blogging. And really I haven’t had any of those, “I feel a blog coming on,” moments recently. Continue reading 20180626: Some Rambling Thoughts:
20171220 BOB Arrives
For the past month we have been staying on Neil and Renee’s new home lot in Leander Texas. This is a six acre “Ranch” very near what is known as the Texas Hill Country in Austin Texas. Austin is in central Texas, just a bit east and south of dead center. Houston is a few hours east of us and San Antonio is a couple hours south of us. There is very little to the west except the Big Bend Country and El Paso.

20171027 The Other Hand
After reading some of your posts, it dawned on me that I tend to only write about the cat-as-trophies. So today I will write an up-beat blog.
First I treasure all of my friends. Thank you for your comments. Second, this is a great way to chronicle my life and our travels. Nothing is more boring as “Got up at 6 am. On the road by 10:30. Drove from Blake Ranch RV Park and Horse Hotel in Kingman, AZ to Williams AZ.” Yes I do have that detail tabulated in an Excel spreadsheet. Those that know me well will not find that surprising. Indeed, I can retrieve and playback nearly every mile of our travels over the past 13 years in a program called ”Street Atlas.”

20171026 What Is With This Week?
Things have just not been going my way this week. The week started out “Crappy.” Tu-wit, I sat on the toilet and the plastic hinges shattered from old age and brittleness. “No Problemo” I think, I’ll just order new hinges. Nope…so I ordered a new seat. End of the week came and no seat. So I canceled that order and re ordered it at the next town, Henderson, NV. That one failed to show also, so I had it shipped to Judy’s Sister, Sonja’s house for next week. Besides it is kind of fun skating around the toilet on a loose seat.

20170806 Threading the Needle.
The Pfaff 2140 has been Judy’s sewing companion for the past fifteen years. It has traveled the length and bredth of our country. In June we scheduled a tune-up service for the old boy, and Judy did without sewing for a month. When Pfaff came back from servicing it was so happy to see Judy that he ran his motor full tilt for a couple seconds each time she turned him on. We sent him back for the quivalent of sewing machine psyco-therapy where he got a brain transplant. This time when he came home he not only was excited to see her, he began popping up his pressure foot whenever Judy stopped a seam. This didn’t please Judy at all. In fact she reacts negatively to things left in the up position. Continue reading 20170806 Threading the Needle.
