Throwback Thursday – Big Red
I got a phone call the other night from Ike, the fellow who ended up with my big bore KLR rig. He had some questions about the tail-light wiring. Unfortunately, I couldn't help him; the tail-light was something Larryboy installed before I swapped bikes with him. It...
Dugout Project Update
A long period of neglect followed Robert’s visit last August to help me start the canoe project. Mushrooms sprouted from the ends of the log (Pholiota populnea, pretty, but unfortunately inedible). I feared the log would turn out to be rotten. ...
Leap Year Campout in the Lava Bed
The forecast Friday was for passably fair weather. 50 degree Fahrenheit temps, 3 mph winds, maybe a little rain and lower temperatures with a little snow or hail late Saturday afternoon. It didn't work out that way. Russ...

8/15/25 6:00 65f 18.3c Overcast, calm. It is a quiet, gray Friday morning. The deck is speckled with damp spots, remnants of an earlier rumor of rain. Occasionally an acorn breaks the silence, plummeting to the ground, richocheting off oak branches to smack the...
Good Morning
8/14/25 4:30 62f (16.6c) Clear and still. The moon, brilliant white and waning gibbous, puts to rest any hope of seeing meteors. Two planets hover over the east ridge, shining brightly. The thunder of crickets fades around 5:00 replaced by amplified...
