A Miserable Fortnite

My missing posts have been due in part to malaise, sleep deprivation, a busy schedule, and laziness. The trip to Pittsburgh proved all for naught as the ordered trache was the wrong size. We returned after only one days visit, a bit disgusted with the personnel in the office for causing an eight hour trip [...]

Remembering Not

Work at the cafe this week has been the usual up and down. There will be rushes of customers for an hour or more when I look up and see a dozen or so orders. Just as soon as I get two finished, Robin replaces them with three more. There is no end in sight. [...]

Washday on the Line

We have three consecutive days off  every week. And you know me, I can’t sit still for very long. Off days are saved for golf at least once and maybe twice each week. And by the way, Robin is getting so much better. If I could only golf as well as I teach the game, [...]

More Oddities for us…

We had two things planned for today; get Robin’s hair trimmed and do some golfing. She asked other workampers about venues for her to get this done. Our setting is a beautiful pastoral setting, high on a hilltop, in a very rural setting. Henceforth, we need to inquire of the whereabouts of almost everything we [...]

Best Things in Life

The past few days have been relatively uneventful. I won’t bore you with the humdrum of our daily machinations. I’m always anxious to show you photos of where we’ve been, what we’re up to, and new and interesting places we’d never been. The weather has been great here and my next door neighbor, Chris, asked [...]

Griswolds in Training

Sometimes I wonder how I ever found the time to do things prior to retirement. It seems as if I can’t find enough time in the day to finish what I want despite not having a job at the present time. For example, we took our mile walk after coffee to give our bodies a [...]

From Beach to the Beach

I believe that the last time the word Beach was part of my repertoire was when we headed west, on the border of ND and Montana to get groceries, hardware or to get Brutus groomed there.  Now the word has a totally different connotation not to mention the un-capitilization of the word.  For the last [...]

The Bird People

[ad]   I’ve learned some things while being “back home” this week.  First of all, there is no back home. Home is where my rig is parked, be it out West, the Midwest, the South or well, you’re getting the gist of this.  After the medical appointments and the business items, and the small errands [...]

Changes

[ad]   The past few days have been busier than I would have imagined.  Medical tests, blood tests, and a drudging visit to the dentist have taken up a large part of two days.  However, I did get a chance to shop for a new pair of shoes. After all, going to a wedding rehearsal [...]

The Last Supper

[ad] Yesterday our neighbors gathered for a Last Supper of pot luck. The occasion was a farewell send-off as we’ll be leaving Medora tomorrow. That time has come again when MRI’s, brain scans, and neurosurgeon visits beckon us to Pittsburgh. It has been a sweet ride for the past several months and the friendships established [...]
