The Holidays?

Image
As we have returned back to the world of what we know... the condo life ...filled with new knowledge of what BOONDOCKING is all about...really, it was fun...after the initial shock that that was what we had...manipulating the power in our house battery was the key...well, and being very aware of the tank levels, if you know what I mean...I would give us a solid B for the efforts...ah, maybe B- ...but passing... Alas, around 6ish last eve...I noticed out of my eye...something that I did not expect to see...across the street, in the near condo...a CHRISTMAS TREE all lit up...for some reason, it struck me odd...then happy...looked further south, and saw the lights of the Marriott...in the shape of a tree ...apparently, we are in the holiday season ... Listen, as I was reminded by some good friends...that we have gone this far in the 'race'... don't quit before the finish line ...in essence, don't let your guard down now ...the vaccine is near...I think... the Thanksgi...

TGFS

Yes, sir, Bob, I say to you, TGFS ...it's but a short jaunt away...so we can recharge our system...and we can do the same for the cabin's battery...and we have stumbled upon the coolest little market ...that has EVERYTHING! ...much like a Sunriver one...you name it, they got it... deli...sushi dude...meat section...extensive wine selection...as well, as booze... Last eve we had the fires of fires ....the above market sold the bundle of fine wood, seasoned properly... $5.99 a bundle ...so we decided to cook a can of beans on it...and spear some dawgs and have some weenies ...and top it off, with some smores ...the flames were awesome, kids...the beans were done, however, they were dropped in transit...into the fire...the dogs?...undercooked...if it not for the booze, it would have been catastrophic...BUT... the smores were spot on ...and that's what we had... Today we are using the GRILL ...got an extra LP thing to make sure we don't run out... burgers and steak on the...

Boondockers

Here we sit...right on the beach...BOONDOCKING!...for youse, unaware...we are camping, er, RVing...one (?) thought we had hookups, alas, we have none...so, we use what we have in the Cosmo...a house battery...which is good for one day...and then we have to recharge the bloody thang...drive the rig a bit...we can't make coffee...and who can start a day without that?...so, off we went to a local Starbucks...so much for roughing it... For the 1st time, we loaded up our bikes...ah, thanks to the Pinnacle staff, namely Christina and Brad...who helped (!), well, had a lot to do with that success...so we will bike this afternoon... The view we have is extraordinary!...refer to my Facebook posts for the pix...the sunset last eve, was spectacular...like being in Maui...really.... The food, we are going to grill it up on the Blackstone...listen, kids, we will conquer this...filet tonight....ha ha, not sure what else we can cook...maybe, boil some taters, and make some mashers...we shall figu...

Enuff Already

Image
At what point in time, will trump say ENUFF! ...I give!...as he is still exhausting whatever he can out of the USA money for a president's lawyer fund ...I guess that's what you would call it...it's on our ticket, so he will use whatever he can...surely, after he has been ousted from the White House, he will cease the procedure that he is using...costs money, his...unless, he can talk the Republicans into paying for it... I doubt if he pays for anything... "It's a write off" ...who writes it off?... "I do" ...who pays for the write off?... "They do" ...who are they?... "The USA" ...say what?... "We all do it" ...do what?... "Write it off" ... In the interim, between golf rounds...the story out is that trump was contemplating a strike into Iran .. .their missile sites...their uranium ones, too ...listen, kids...if he is truly trying to convince whomever is left in the defense department...to do this...he should ...

Moderna or Pfizer?

Image
Wishing and hoping for a vaccine for the Covid 19 ...and now we have two in the running... Pfizer came out last week, saying they are 90% effective with theirs... Moderna just released theirs, claiming 94.5% effective ...so, who do you choose?...what is the criteria for the selection?...who does this?...do they both go out?...is there another company?...as we endure more and more cases of the virus hitting our country...record shattering...without a doubt, we need the vaccine...it can't arrive soon enough... So what did trump Tweet this am? ...after this rather USA shattering news by Moderna... "I WON THE ELECTION!" ... get in there, Republicans...do your intervention ...and have anyone, any company, help him pack his bags. ..he is an embarrassment to the country...and to the system that was established when the USA came about...and Twitter , can you just shut him down? ... So, I was a thinking about this... trump claiming that 70 million people voted for HIM! ...I t...

Maybe I'm Amazed

Image
When the Beatles broke up...back when...way back...I was itching for some of their individual, like solo, music that they would for sure put out...is this in your era?... Paul McCartne y did so first...with an album, a vinyl, that I so wanted and desired...er, had to have...that's better...the hot single from it was 'Maybe I'm Amazed' ...an absolute wonderful track... alas, the rest of it, was like 'filler' ...that many artists used to do, when they HAD to record an album, to fulfill their contract...the Beatles, as a group, never did this...so, I was more amazed that this was the only song that had legs... Just thought you'd want to know... The Masters ...with so many blokes so close, it looked like it was going to be a donnybrook today...well, DJ (Dustin Johnson) has separated himself from the crowd...up 4 to start the final round...count me as the one saying this...without the patrons, lining the course at Augusta...it is pretty and all, but it appears ...
