Happy Birthday, Trail Guy!

If you see this man around, treat him to a vanilla latte with a blueberry muffin. He is aging well, dontcha think? 😎 

Just One More Frivolous Post

I know, I was going to get back to work, but Samson is so fun that I have become one of those internet weirdos bores who post endless photos of her cats. This is for Kaylee, and I don’t mind you called The Boy “Sammy”. This is my blog, I’m 57, so I’ll post what I […]

End of the Year Thoughts

Those year end newsletters are good for updates, and they make everyone else’s life seem so sparkly, happy and fun, just like Facebook (Nope, not on, and not going to join). Life is a balance of both good and bad things, but who wants to put the sad, bad and hard stuff in a newsletter? […]

Two Last Non-Art Subjects

Subject #5 What is this? Inquiring minds NEED to know. . . we got a pair of insulating mugs for Christmas, and got curious as to which sort of mug will keep coffee the hottest. So, we conducted an experiment. They were all within degrees of one another, with the short Starbuck’s mug in the […]

Subject #1 Trail Guy took the Botmobile to a secret location with a great view of the High Sierra. The mountain range is […]

The Chair From the Dump

Mineral King in November

It is Friday, and I have some recent Mineral King photos for you. Trail Guy and a friend went up the hill for a day. He is retired, I am not. That’s okay – he provides photos for you who love Mineral King and I post them. We are a team here. Check out the […]

Shhhh, I’m Working

Please forgive the silence on the blog. I am working on a project that requires focus. The customer is away for awhile so I haven’t been given permission to tell about the project. Samson can keep you company while I work.
