Today’s goal was to wake up early to go alligator hunting. We wanted to get out there before the sun really came up and the air began to get hot. Unfortunately, I woke up at 6:13, suggested that we get going, only to be rebuffed and then woke up again at around 9:30. Why she [...]
I’ve probably already written a blog post by this name. How could I not have? Through the years, I’m pretty sure I’ve had lazy afternoons. I am so utterly exhausted. I think my Jiu-Jitsu has finally taken its toll on my body. Last night gave me the workout of a lifetime. I have a shoulder [...]
Yesterday was a very good day. We did a lot and were surprised at what a spur of the moment activity like going to the bank could bring us. Around 5:30, I asked Laura if she’d like to come with me to the bank. I had a few checks sitting in my bag from house [...]
I told you a while back that I was going to order a new ZeroWater Water Filter for the refrigerator. Well, we received it yesterday and I’ve already used it a few times. Guess what. It filters the water. I’m not sure yet what it filters because, as I mentioned before, the water filtering industry [...]
Well, I received my “Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Go! Pro USB Audio System with THX SB1290″ this morning and just finished setting it up on my computer. Let me preface this post by telling you that I’m a bit disappointed in today’s sound. Ever since the world decided to go digital instead of CD, I feel [...]
When you see this picture, you’re going to send me an email asking me how I could have even considered not posting this. You’re going to say, “You thought people were getting tired of seeing cute pictures of Voleman?” You’re going to do that after you see this picture. This cat apparently likes the sun. [...]
We set up our night time wildlife camera for the first time last night and I have some very exciting news for you. We actually got some pictures. Now, I’m not going to tell you they were any good, but what I learned was that the camera actually works and that there is wildlife among [...]
Just a quick update on our Amaryllis. It has bloomed. I went outside to check the trees and plants this morning and was surprised to see two large red flowers. There are two more buds left to bloom and I suspect they’ll do their thing within a few days. For now though, we’ll enjoy what [...]
Perhaps that title isn’t as accurate as it possibly could be. Maybe is should have read, “Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake in Our Back Yard!” I swear, if I hear, “Hey Bob, c’mere quick!!! COME HERE!!!” one more time, I’m going to flip my lid. First it was an anole, then a bird, then a rabbit, then [...]
Today was a good day for planting. We picked up the soil we have been waiting for last night at Lowe’s and while we were there, we got suckered into buying a peach tree and a knockout rose bush. I’ve had and heard good things about knockout roses, so this was a no brainer. As [...]
