Day 032!

Sunday, February 5, 2023

Miss (or Misses…) Anna, the Anna’s Hummingbird that built her nest beside our trailer last year, is back! (An iPhone 13 photo, cropped a lot!) She is actually quite vocal, and I am getting a directional microphone for my M50. ~Curtis in /-\rizon/-\! {!-{>

Day 2023022!

Sunday, January 22, 2023

(This Project is in honor of Friend Robyn’s Birthday.  Why?  Who knows: it is the InterWeb, just go with it!) I did a project today.  I installed a new power strip.  Not just any power strip, but a pop up power strip! The Dailylife Wife had seen one of these in an Airstream Trailer video.  […]

Day 2023013!

Thursday, January 12, 2023

A Mountain Bluebird! In something completely unrelated, here is a nice cellphone panorama of our street in the RV Park.  It is at less than 50% full.  I expect that should start changing this weekend.  It is a three day with MLK Day on Monday. (Click on the photo a couple of times to enlarge […]

Day 2023012!

Thursday, January 12, 2023

So what do I find the day after the Belted Kingfisher chowing down?  A Red Tailed Hawk.  Actually two of them, but the other one flew off as I was setting up. ~Curtis in /\rizon/\! {!-{>

Day 2023011!

Thursday, January 12, 2023

I stopped down at the local watering hole, which is directly below the RV park we are staying in, and was shooting some Mergansers, when I spied a smaller bird on a limb… He was thumping that not-so-little fish pretty good.  You can hear it if you turn the volume up!

Day 2023002! On the Road to Morocc…err, Arizona!

Monday, January 2, 2023

We got off in good time today: 7:05am!  A quick stop at Hardee’s for breakfast.  There was no way they want to let that trailer go through McDonalds! Heading down the hill into the Sun and the Helena Valley. At the South end of Elk Park, before heading down the hill into Butte, there were […]

Day 363

Monday, January 2, 2023

I had an Avis run to Belgrade.  I took down a Ford Edge.  A nice car with a HUGE screen…but when the night mode clicked off the screen turned mostly white.  I never did find a way to turn the SCREEN off… At the north end of the Canyon the Missouri River is ice choked…this […]

Down at the River! Do you know how hard it is to get everyone to look the same direction at the same time? An immature Bald Eagle! ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>
