The things you see when you don't have a Gun ?

This is sort of an opportunity to see who is paying attention and who’s not , I am not a hunter, I once was because as a young man I believed and still do believe everybody should know how to hunt if it becomes necessary for any reason . Having said that I only hunt with a Camera and have done that for decades. The last time I actually went hunting was to teach My sons , The three wise men they…

Winter blues

Now is the time to reflect on the winters worst times , if nothing else it would take your mind off of the 117° days we are having right now ! This may seem counterproductive,but in reality it does work , I have seen times when it was snowing here and with the wind chill was below 0° at sunrise ! Thinking about it now seems to distract my poor little brain just enough to let me continue with my…

Once more , into the Breach , sorta !

Every so often I have occasion to go to town , I find this tantamount to slow torture , only ending when I escape or to be more polite leave town for home . This usually only happens when I have an appointment for medical issues or monthly food shopping excursions ! The last trip was for the same old medical problems , and a little shopping on the side as I said before , anytime we are in town…

Yet another rant about summer ? NOPE !

I don’t think so , tired of thinking about it ,much less writing about it ,so I am going to trot down memory lane to a cooler place . When I was a kid and times were much better than now. We were all playing around with the idea of going to the coast as soon as possible and One of our group mentioned having at a motel in San Diego for a night or two , this was quite a ride ,considering we were…

Working with others , is not always good !

Some people work better on their own , others can fall into the “Team” players category ! There’s nothing wrong with the whole team thing , It just doesn’t fit everyone , and the one’s that don’t fit into it are likely to damage it if forced into a mold that won’t fit . This might the only good thing to come out of the pandemic debacle ! It made everyone see that they could do their jobs…

The old days come back to haunt me ,sorta !

A memory cropped up from an old job of mine, I had a lot of jobs when I was young ,some better than others , made some friends and a few enemies as well . This is how that can happen , it’s not as difficult as you might think . The enemy was sadly a manager that had been transferred to the night shift to keep the day shift from killing him , (He was an asshole) , Our own Foreman was great and…

Tales of Corporate management , Uh,Oh !

When I was young, I worked for a large corporation doing field work, this means I was never in or about the corporate offices , this was a good thing for the most part as I was not an office type of person ! My job was actually restoring old buildings and making connivence stores in their place, a good job I lucked into from a former job working for an in law I hated . Sometimes good things come…

Another lost soul Well, sort of !

In this part of our state their are many things to watch out for while on the road, this starts with the obvious traffic idiots, and escalates up to the wildlife that shares the road occasionally , this is what provoked this story . On the news last night , Yes I will admit to paying attention to state news sometimes, Anyway the news last night told of an Unlucky Cow , apparently she had a habit…

Geocaching, a treasure hunt for all

Many years ago , I was involved in Geocaching, it’s a fun hobby that anyone can participate in, all that is required is a GPS and a willingness to go almost anywhere to find the cache’s . Part of the rules is for you to not only to find the caches , but to make and place other caches for others to find , thus perpetuating the game ! That’s the way it’s designed to work, mostly it does ,but there…

In the light of Morning ,Makes things look differently !

Every day I get up with the intentions of finishing a list of chores , some are necessary , one might say desperate ,Others are just things I want to do for one reason or other .. On this mornings list was a chore I have wanted to do for a long time , I sometimes grow Oleanders from seed and the last ones are over a year old and still living in grow bags . It’s been bothering me for a long time…

We’ve been burgled , sort of !

While nobody was paying attention Our Helicopter was snatched from under our nose, it’s getting so you can’t trust anybody, The VFW here had a Huey sitting on a pad ,between two Howitzers positioned out front to Welcome visitors ! Every time I go by it brings back memories of great nights out with friends and events. Like a lot of things in our memories, they are both happy and sad , many of the…

Paradise lost , maybe !

We have been encroached upon by the power companies, their plans will ruin our valley and probably only benefit California ! They have made a deal with the government to fill our valley with solar panels and possibly destroy the land they claim to be protecting. This is not surprising,just annoying,you can’t be surprised by anything politicians do . While it means our property value will be…

Long ago and Far away !

When I was a young man, I had many different jobs ,looking for my place in the world ! That’s what everyone does even if they don’t know it at the time , some are lucky enough to find it early ,while others have to search for quite a while. The thing is during your search ,if you are lucky and paying attention,you learn things that will help you for the rest of your life . This has been the case…
