    45 years apart

    I was a guide up there for about a decade and have solo-packed just about every inch of it. It's even in my will that my ashes are to be deposited on Lafayette Peak. Here's a pix of my friend and I compacting the snow for our tent. Then we decided to "stage" a picture so I jumped on my back...

    45 years apart

    I've been coming back to the Porkies (Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park) in the UP for almost half a century. Back in the 70s, (when I had two knees that actually bent, and in the same direction), I was a backcountry guide, and would try to get the Mirror Lake 8-bunker in the middle of...

    Certified Emotional Support Animal

    I plan to get an emotional support honey badger the next time I have a flight. I'm not sure if I'll have to pay for a seat for him, or should I let him pick any seat he wants?

    Pipe For Sale Everything is sold.

    Thanks for asking. Since retiring, I've been busier than when I actually had a pay check! But all in all life is good. Jeff

    Pipe For Sale Everything is sold.

    Lots of rare, well-aged tobacco and a variety of pipes. All tobacco was stored in my larder/tornado shelter in basement, at a constant 48-50 degrees. Please Note: I have been selling a fair amount of what is in the photos below. I can't keep up with putting new photos after every sale, but will...

    Red Breasted Woodpecker attacks my Birch

    We have increasing numbers of red bellied woodpeckers here in Arkansas. Years ago we could see a few red headed up by the Missouri border, but the red bellies are more aggressive and chasing them out of their former territories. They also dominate our feeders and even the bushy-tailed rats...

    From the Upper Carolina

    Welcome back to the herd. I was also locked out but Angie helped me get back in just today, and get connected to my old threads. My university made all the retired faculty change their emails with a <@retired.> in the middle, so it's been a hassle and three quarters to change all my past 30+...

    colonoscopy anyone?

    Every ten years, clear so far. Minor polyps removed, but none were worrisome. She Who Must Be Obeyed is a nurse, so she is on me constantly to keep up to date on medical concerns.

    Humador Help!

    Been out of state for over a month and mold grew on the top row of cigars and into the wood (cedar lined). Fortunately, I didn't have many cigars in it, but about a dozen were lost. How do I get the mold/spores out of the cedar? I wiped it down with a slightly damp rag and it's sitting in the...

    What breed dog do you have?

    I had one of the older mixed "designer" breeds, kind of an Arkie version of a labradoodle type. Shadow was half beagle and half mutt, so combining the two breeds we call it a Butt, or an Arkansas Butt to be more accurate. I heard it was bread by the age. dept. boys up at U of A, (they do a lot...

    Wait…WHAT?

    I've known many friends who were in hospice that didn't know where they were. Just stay calm and drink the purple coolaid.

    Have You Had Your HOT SAUCE Today?

    Yes! Not so hot that it overpowers everything else, nice smokey aftertaste, all in all, my favorite. I spent a couple years trying to smoke my black scorpions, seven pot congo yellows (best pepper on earth for me), and jalokias and could never get close to Marie's. Natch

    Coffee shops....

    Oh, I've had many a cup of "plain" coffee that they managed to screw the hell out of.

    Dashcam info?

    Looking at getting dashcams for our cars, and being technologically (along with most other knowledge) inept, I'm trying to find out if those that list cloud storage upload the videos somewhat rapidly, or are they kept in the dashcam until I upload it? What my concern is, if the car is broken...

    Question on cellaring.....

    Don't forget, pipe smokers, get better with age. That's my belief and I'm sticking to it. Natch
