NoMoJo - 11-12-2016
Dang - I have a lot of things to do!!! I do want to attend the Veterans Day parade that starts at 10; there are a couple of grant/financial opportunities that have deadlines of the 15th and 18th ...
NoMoJo - 11-11-2016
Veterans Day. Yeah, I’m a Veteran, but like many things (like birthdays!), I don’t advertise the fact. Local celebrations and parades take place tomorrow (the 12th), but today the U.S. Flags are ...
NoMoJo 11/10/2016
Kinda of a quiet day here. I spent some time at the tractor shop and with the chickenzzz! :-), planned a bit more of my week, volunteered with the kids group AND getting ready for next Friday’s m...
NoMoJo 11/09/2016
The election results are in…and I am concern for this country. However, I’m willing to give President-elect Trump six months to prove himself worthy of my confidence in his leadership, BUT - I wi...
NoMoJo 11/08/2016
It’s Election Day here in the United States. I delivered my mail-in ballot but forgot to get my “I Voted” sticker - and extras for the kids! sigh
NoJoMo 11/07/2016
Awright… It’s the day before the Big Election and I have yet to turn in my ballot. I have until 7PM tomorrow to git ‘er done, and I will git ‘er done! At every election time I think of my Lithua...
NoMoJo 11-06-2016
Spent a few unplanned hours at the steam train today. One of our newest members was going to be in town yesterday and today, so after meeting for breakfast, we put up some more Christmas lights ...
NoMoJo 11/05/2016
It was a darn good day volunteering at the steam locomotive. It was quite chilly this morning (heckuva time to lose my Carhartt!) - even with long johns and a coupla shirts on - but with two new ...
NoMoJo 11/04/2016
Awright - it’s Day Four!!! Last night I gazed at the Moon and thought about the Apollo astronauts who had walked on her surface. Next to the Moon was Venus - or perhaps Saturn or Mars or Jupiter…...
NoMoJo 11/03/2016
Well…she’s back! I dunno where Chicken #10 went, but she was huntin’ and peckin’ at the back of the building this morning! She didn’t resist at all when I picked her up, but she sure went after ...
NoJoMo 11/02/2016
It’s gonna be a busy Wednesday! The steam train newsletter got published the last day of October, so I need to see what the response has been, because… Yesterday was a ‘catch-up’ day, with volunt...
NoJoMo 11/01/2016
Awright - even though it’s November 2nd, I’m gonna try writing once per day for the month. 11-01-2016 I had ten chickens yesterday morning, but only nine when I left. Checking outdoors where they...
7/21/69, 02:56 UTC: "That's one small step for a man..."
A few hours ago - plus forty-seven years - Neil Armstrong said those words as he first set foot on the Moon. The Lunar Excursion Module ‘Eagle’ had landed on the Moon at 20:56 UTC the day before,...
Plane Tickets, T-Shirts, and a Wedding
Awright… I’ve got the plane tickets reserved (and paid for) to fly from Denver, to Orlando, to Providence, then back to Denver. The Space Shuttle team is having a reunion (the first?) July 22-24 ...
$11.25 (including tax)
Welp - it looks like I’m a pet owner. I never thought I’d be a ‘dad’ to a chick - the feathered and cheeping kind - but here I am with an as-yet unnamed little critter. :-) ‘Chick Days’ is going ...
A New Business? Hmm...
My town is a great little town that could use some more businesses. Many have complained that too many stores/shops are moving out, only to be replaced with…nothing. One need that we have here i...
Pretty Neat (but my fingers are still crossed!)
Here in Denver Broncos Country it’s…unique…to be a fan of the New England Patriots. At work, the trash-talking goes back and forth (mostly, I listen…and refute snicker), but seeing ‘my’ kids in ...
12-29-2015
Even though Christmas was a few days ago, KTLF-FM is still playing Christmas carols…which is fine with me. :-) I find that, year-by-year, the holiday gets more and more commercial and less - much...
'Tis the Season...
(Thank you to ‘slicktiger’ for this picture from December 17, 2009.)
Skilz R Laking... :-(
We have a student who does long division…addition. :-S Example: 342/39. She’ll add 39 plus 39, and when that answer is less than 342, she’ll add another 39, and when THAT answer is less than ...
'Meet the Candidates'; Lone Star State Visitors
Last night was the local ‘Meet the Candidates’ event, and I think I held my own against the incumbents running for re-election. Colorado has the mail-in ballots, and I’ve been told by a very rel...
Christmas is coming! ;-)
Christmas is prolly my favorite holiday of all. The season brings back memories of snow, Marx-A-Dozer’s under the tree, throwing up the same year I got an Erector Set(!), and lots more. :-) The ...
'My' Colorado
I’m volunteering at Rural Philanthropy Days in Creede, Colorado, and what a fantastic drive along Route 149! The road north from South Fork squeezes between the towering canyon walls - next to th...
Made In...
I started the new job a couple of weeks ago, and while I like the work (most of the customers, keeping the store stocked and orderly), there sure is a lot of NOT ‘Made in the USA’ merchandise on ...
Independence Day!
This is a fabulous country. Sure we have our problems, but we also have the opportunity to solve those problems - IF we want to! So - show your red, white, and blue, the Stars and Stripes, and ta...
Book Description
This is where I’ll write all - if not most - of my entries.
When I write…which may not be too often. :-)
