Day 26034.5…

Wednesday, February 4, 2026

Finally, late tonight, I was able to get Starlink ordered!  Hurray Me!  I ordered it last week, then realized I needed to use the referral link for DD#1, then it got stuck with a PENDING subscription that could not be cancelled.  I got GROK involved (he/it runs Starlinks troubleshooting/customer support department) and it took from […]

Day 26034

Monday, February 2, 2026

I did make it to the moonrise.  Tuzigoot wasn’t in line with Moon from where I could shoot, so we get a few trees on the horizon. This first one, which was first, is a iPhone 13 photo.  The cellphones sure can see a lot more than the human eye: there was hardly even a […]

Day 26033

Monday, February 2, 2026

There is a cheater in the RV Park. There is this BIG motorhome, with a semi-truck cab and an RV body behind it.  It is a neat rig!  It looks like a toy hauler, and I think it is…but he is a cheater! Here is a photo of his rig.  You can see also one […]

Still missing it…{=-{< 5:32pm if my sources are correct.  Time to go down to Giants Springs and watch for Tyrannosaurus Rex footstep vibrations in the water.   (*Jurassic Park reference)

Day 26032!

Saturday, January 31, 2026

This is Gary.  He is the “do it all” guy around here.  In addition to trying to keep cactus from falling over, he has at least one cherry classic car hidden! It is full moon time again!  I am going out looking for moonrises tomorrow night and beyond, so there should be some fresh Moon […]

Day 26031!

Saturday, January 31, 2026

In slightly related news, when the DD#1 in the previous post went to college we got her an Acer Ferrari Edition laptop.  It came in a leatherette slipcase.  Long ago, after the Acer had departed this mortal coil, DD#1 gave me the slipcase.  For many years I kept a solar powered bluetooth keyboard I got […]

Day 26029! A day of many Tidings!

Friday, January 30, 2026

We decided to order the Starlink residential plan with the regular antenna, because right now if you “rent” it, there is no cost.  You just have to send it back when you end your subscription.  So no sooner did I get it order than I discover if I order it over a referral link from […]

How to hide your beer. We got the Internet back in the afternoon?  It is…not any better than it was before, but at least it is now! ~Curtis in Arizona! {!-{>

Day 26027!

Friday, January 30, 2026

So after losing the Internet and receiving a tip that Starlink Mini was on sale at Home Depot for $199, we decided to order one last night, for pickup in Flagstaff this morning.  I had a nice drive up and back.  This is looking East on Mingus Avenue, just outside of Cottonwood.  Mingus was the […]
