Day 26005!

Tuesday, January 6, 2026

A reminder of the first year we came down here… I did take my first ride.  It was about four miles to Tuzigut Nat’l Monument (five miles by the bike’s dash but it is off from my iPhone’s GPS a bit).  I got a lock to “leash” it to the pet leash loops on the […]

Day (2025) 2!

Saturday, December 27, 2025

This is a photo my darlin’ wife found, taken by me just shy of 41 years ago.  Today is our 41st anniversary, and this was three or four days later than the wedding on our Honeymoon in Lucerne, Switzerland. I believe it is on the Kappellbruke, or Chapel Bridge.  There was a really long one […]

Day 243

Thursday, September 14, 2023

“Free at last; free at last!” Freedom in America: Fall colors, the American Flag, and Coffee, as seen from the Starbuck’s Drive-Thru (and my truck), with an appropriate sign in the middle.  This was my first time driving in over a month!  And it almost didn’t happen.  All of the short street-to-driveway and driveway-to-street jaunts, […]

Day 241

Monday, September 11, 2023

I went for my one month visit following my knee surgery…everything seems to be working well, and absent a specific complaint I don’t need to go back.  Physical therapy as needed; driving whenever my reaction time is back.  (I tried the “gas pedal to brake” foot dance: Completely successful in both vehicles!) Here is the […]

I went for my one month visit following my knee surgery…while I have been out of sorts they have changed the definition of “healthy”. Thank Heavens! ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 224

Saturday, September 9, 2023

Lugnut in the front of a canoe at Melita Island! Unknown photographer. An arial view of Melita: Sunset over the Camp.  The Island was hit with a pine bug infestation and has had to cut down a lot of the trees (it was almost completely forested!), but they made the best of it and got […]

Day 223

Saturday, September 9, 2023

I was almost caught up and I got behind again… The DD#1’s family (well, Lugnut, Lugwrench and Toots) went to Melita Island Boy Scout Camp for a week.  In the Lodge there is this plaque listing people who donated to the Phoenix Patrol in a successful effort to by Melita Island back from the evil […]

Granddaughter Toots is becoming quite and artist.  Sunnyside Elementary School asked her and a few artistic friends to paint a mural on one wall. Skeeter seemed to approve of it. (Photos by DD#1) ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>
