We are in AZ for a week. We drove here. The plan was for the kids and I to head down for a week so they could spend time with family and friends before school starts in Idaho. I had it all figured out with the drive, and things were set, and then “B” decided…

What a Political Week Here is the USA
So there was a VP announcement, the Republican convention, Democrats complaining, and a shooting. What a week! Starting with the Democrats and how more and more of them are not liking what they see in President Biden. I don’t blame them. I haven’t thought much of Biden from the get go other than he was…
Another First for Me – Less Good This Time
So, I had another new things happen to me this week while biking. I was riding on Tuesday and something black (I think it was black) hit my glasses and then my left arm. The next thing I know my arm starts to hurt like crazy. I look down and don’t see anything. I assumed…
June Top Listens
Somehow I forgot to post this earlier this month (probably due to the whole vacation and moving thing). So here we have June’s Top Listens. I was a little surprised that MXPx was the top artist since I knew I have listened to a lot of Queen and Lindsey Stirling last month. While they were…
Book Series Review – Bobiverse
I like audiobooks. And today I am writing about a series that I have just recently re-listened to. It is the Bobiverse series by Dennis E. Taylor. I will try my best to limit what I write and not give away too much in any of the stories, but hopefully give enough to entice one…
First Bicycle Ride in Idaho
So, today was my first opportunity to get in a bike ride in over 3 weeks. Ever since the movers loaded our house I haven’t been able to bike since they were in the truck. Today I dropped one daughter off at Space Camp and we went by bike since it was only .69 miles…
A First for Me at Our New Home
Last night I made dinner at our new house. That was a first. But the new thing for me is that we have a gas stove. I made a chile verde pork that I bought at the grocery store. It went well. I didn’t burn anything which was nice. I will get years of learning…
Vacation on Our Way to Idaho
So we decided to make the move to Idaho a week long vacation as well. We decided to go to California and hit Monterey and San Francisco. We started with a quick stop at a random truck stop along the way. It was an 8 hour drive day. We ate at Panda Express and then…
We Did Make It To Our New Home
We made it to Idaho on Sunday. As you can expect things are crazy busy for us all. “B” is working, our house stuff was delivered on Monday, and the joys of unpacking has started. I have a blog for our vacation written, but I don’t have the pictures to go with it yet so…
Gun Ownership and Rights
Time for one of the postings that will offend almost everyone in one way or another. I grew up in a family where guns were considered fine. We didn’t have guns around us all the time, but when Igot older I learned that there were a couple guns in the house. I grew up in…
