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 ...

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 ...

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...

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...

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

NoMoJo 11/05/2016 in All Of The Above
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 in All Of The Above
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 in All Of The Above
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 ...

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 in All Of The Above
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...

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 in All Of The Above
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) in All Of The Above
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 ...
1961 - 1962 in Biography
We were still living in New Castle, New Hampshire. Alan Shepard was the first American in space (what a long way we’ve come since then!), my youngest brother at the time turned two, and if we r...
A New Business? Hmm... in All Of The Above
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!) in All Of The Above
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 in All Of The Above
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...

'Meet the Candidates'; Lone Star State Visitors in All Of The Above
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...
1959 - 1960 in Biography
I need to finish up 1959… ‘59 was when Alaska and Hawaii were admitted to the Union. We were living in New Castle, New Hampshire at the time in a house rented from…someone, and the next street o...
Christmas is coming! ;-) in All Of The Above
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 in All Of The Above
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...
