Merry Christmas š

Children everywhere are dreaming of delights in the morning, parents are putting away screwdrivers and allen wrenchesā¦ And looking forward to a special breakfast, and a sea of wrapping paper.

Old iPad
Iām one of those folks that hangs onto old electronics for Way too long. This is, in part, because in the old days transferring data from one device to another wasnāt guaranteed to go well. I might need to fire up that old iPad and find a missing piece of data on of it! Well, […]
November 2025 Island Trip – Day 6
Not wanting to drive the loaded truck up to Stella (minor risk of tearing up the āroadā), I used our Gorilla cart to schlep stuff back and forth. No surprises pulling out, and I got to town in time to do a little Christmas shopping after putting the truck in line. I ran into a […]
November 2025 Island Trip – Day 5
It was a truly relaxed day. Well mostly š. I didnāt roll out of bed until close to 10. It was too comfortable reading under the covers with tea in hand. And my first order of business was to take a (drought) shower, which isnāt the most luxurious experience during cold months. So, I kept […]

Latex Gloves
