Smoke on the Water
It looks like smoke but it’s actually the morning fog lifting off the Suwanee River. Apparently Florida isn’t exempt from the wintry weather that has been wreaking havoc on other parts of the country. The last few nights the mercury has been declining into the 30′s, however the days are still sunny and we’re eeking … Continue reading
Still in the Big Easy
Every so often I complain about the coolness of the South this winter and why it isn’t warmer. Sometimes I even bitch about the rain. And just yesterday a friend that I made when we worked up in North Dakota this past summer sent me this short video. I don’t think I’ll complain about being … Continue reading
An Unexpected Departure
First things first. I’ve received many an email asking about the condition of Brutus. I mentioned he had a vet visit and never posted the outcome. Brutus if fine. He was put on some steroids and has rebounded admirably. All the itching is gone and he’s back in full swing. This was the third vet … Continue reading
Towing Changes and Downsizing
We’ve finally downsized all that we can in the past week. The reasoning behind this was two-fold. I traded both the Jeep Wrangler and our trailer and purchased a new crew cab truck. The deal was finalized last week but there were still bugs that needed to be worked out. Robin will again follow me … Continue reading
Missing Friends
[ad] For the past several days we’ve been anchored here in Cabin Creek Campground in Jacksonville, NC. We’re spending time with the owners, learning all the daily machinations of the operation, interviewing them, they interviewing us for a possible fit as general managers. Jacksonville is the home of Camp Lejune, the marine base that is … Continue reading
Before and After
Sunday morning we worked at the golf course. The afternoon was so slow there was no need for our services so we were permitted to leave. This is unusual to me. A golf course back home in Pennsylvania, any course, would be packed to the gills on a Sunday afternoon. And the Bully Pulpit is … Continue reading
Winning First Place
Rains came this afternoon in an increasing pulse. By three-thirty the course was sans golfers. Since there was no need for our services, Kathy asked if we would like to leave early. Surely, we would have no problem with that. In fact, our work for Memorial Day was cancelled as well as heavy winds, rain, … Continue reading

After watching this you will be a learned and extremely knowledgable individual.

Day Off
Arising later than usual on this final of two free days. Train whistle through the night made for intermittent sleep. As the sun peeked thru the shades and into my lids, I forgot that I must have altered the location of a disc yesterday during golfing. It really caught me off guard when my feet … Continue reading
Route 66 Revisited
Carthage, Missouri hails itself as the place of the first battle of the Civil War. I was misled by former historians in thinking that it was Fort Sumter. But small towns all over America often lay claim to some historical phenomenon, albeit totally misleading, it lends to the drama and interest of such a place. … Continue reading
