Saw this big ol' arrow in the sky pointing south as monsoon clouds rolled over the Dragoons... Gotta love the dynamic weather here, with all these mountain ranges around my high desert home. Here are a couple more shots of what looks to be an inbound storm: Yesiree, I can hear the...

That's a song by 'The Twistin' Tarantulas'---yes, there's actually a band by that name, and the song is pretty funny too. Had a visitor today, met him in my yard... at first I thought he was in trouble, all hunkered down on the walkway which leads to my utility shed, but it turned out he was...

Had a discussion today at another website about the pros & cons of off-grid living, and this in turn led to a discussion about 'repurposing' objects and making homes out of them. I'm sure some of you have seen those old lighthouses folks buy and renovate as homes? Primo pads, those lighthouses...

Saw these listings on San Diego C/L today: Square Rigger J Boats Houseboat Nice rigs aboard those J Boats. That last listing is for my cats, so they can scratch furniture down by the waterfront, lol... Cheers!!! :rolleyes:

59 today, never thought I'd make it this far... it's approximately 0310 and I can't sleep, so I reckon I'll toss out a few questions which have been perplexing me. :confused: Y'all have heard of werewolves, right? Well, what about lesser-known were-Chihuahuas? Are they equally dangerous? Or...

Well, this is 'Cat Day Afternoon!' Lol... Tiger and Crackhead sprawled out on the kitchen floor. The cats like those vinyl tiles because they stay relatively cool in the summer... black cat Crackhead kinda blends in with the faux marble, lol. Maybe I should crack the whip and put these hands to...

I just watched 'DRAGONSLAYER' on the 65" curved screen, and that 1981 film was very entertaining... I hadn't seen it in years, so it was refreshing as pure entertainment, no political propaganda like that found in modern movies. I remember this film as the first flick I ever saw which showcased...

Happy Father's Day to those responsible & loving dads out there in cyberspace! It's not an easy job at times, but keep up the good work! Moi, both my parents are deceased, and the only 'kids' I have are these five cats, but I do my best to take care of 'em! So you good dads out there, give...

Picked up this old beater instrument at the swap meet for $50, it works beautifully for serenading scantily-clad female passengers (while steering with my feet like a friggin' nautical chimpanzee), but it also works as an emergency paddle, as I learned recently on one of our local lakes. :eek...

NOAA Weather has an 'Excessive Heat Warning' in effect for this area, forecast calls for a high of 107 here in Benson today, 108 tomorrow and Monday, with temps even higher down in Tucson and Phoenix. I saw one graphical forecast that called for 114 degrees in Phoenix before Sunday evening...

YO, YOUSE NAUTICAL FOOLIOTS!!! I'm enjoying the hell outta my time off here in Cochise County, Arizona, last bastion of constitutional freedom in the U.S., lol. Gonna cover my grill here shortly with yardbird which has been 'marinating' in BBQ sauce for several hours, along with some hot peppers...

In retrospect, I think 'KASHMIR' was the best Zep tune to listen to while heading toward the islands... so much promise in that tune, and so much adventure lying ahead of you. :cool: Kashmir

Y'all know I've been living in the boondocks for a while, so I missed this 2019 video of F50 racing craft in action... man, oh man, this modern technology has turned sailboat racing into an extreme sport, lol. :eek: I like this video because it gives viewers a good close look at some of the...

I'm gonna bite the bullet and go ahead and flip this home, or at least get it listed and see what sort of offers are made... realtor gal will be here in 1/2 hour to sit down and discuss the listing. Good-looking gal too, as a former truck driver I'll have to be on my best behavior: no loud...

So, I've been looking at boats again on C/L, in more than one SoCal location, and I stumbled upon these funky ads... has anybody seen one of these "E Foils" in action? :eek: E Foil Wonder how much protection they offer from 2-ton Great Whites, large alligators & crocodiles, etc., etc. I'm...

So I'm thinking about flippin' this home and relocating farther east, and yet this part of me says, "WTF, buy a boat and sail to the South Pacific & Australia! Do it NOW while you have the chance!!!" :) This country is SO SCREWED UP with all the FRAUD and other BULL$H!T, that I'm thinking...

Now that I have a good lead on a gubmint job, and weeklong sailing vacations in San Diego may again become a real prospect, I got to thinking about good times I had in the past... and a glance at my framed Cup poster featuring the "Auld Mug" kinda jogged my memory. The '90s were generally good...

Whoooowheeee!!! It is NICE out there, looks like I'll be BBQing later this afternoon... NOAA Weather says 80 degrees, but 80 feels good when the air is still dry. Temp will be dropping too, which will make everything perfect. Got all the windows open, with a cool breeze and a reading of 78 in my...

Sometimes I wonder why I'm living in Arizona, but the answer is simple: I can afford a home here. Paid cash for two homes in the past 4 years, owning each home free & clear, something I could NOT do in Kalifornia. I didn't really wanna flip my first home in the tall pines of Show Low, but on the...

Those of you who missed me, report to the nearest range for additional firearms training, lol... :rolleyes: Still alive & kicking in Redneck Land, though I recently considered moving elsewhere... but the show ain't over yet here in scenic Cochise County, Arizona. :cool: Might have a line on...
