I understand planning ahead. But Reddit’s advertising algorithms just tossed this one out a little early, don’t you think? As I type this, it’s 86℉ outside and the local temperatures will hit 94℉ later with heat advisories. Speaking of that, I don’t get the need for “heat advisories” today. 94° is pretty normal because I […]
Things I thought about or did this weekend or last weekend or whenever…
I can still fabricate a network cable with standard RJ45 connectors and a hand crimper. I used the think the NFL was the biggest money-printing machine after the federal government. I am more and more convinced each week that the WWE is catching up with them. I really need to start culling through my photo […]

Superpower
I was in the doctor’s office this morning, waiting and staring out a window, when an idea hit me. If I had the opportunity to request a superpower, I would want it to be the ability to find lost things. First for myself, then for anyone who asked. I guess I would have to have […]
The Burning RV – Tampa, Florida – 24 Nov 1991
In November 1991, the New York Giants returned to Tampa Stadium (the old “Big Sombrero”) for a regular season match up with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Giants defeated the Buffalo Bills in that stadium in Super Bowl XXV earlier in the year. As a long-time Giants fan living in Florida, I was thrilled they […]

Why, Google?
This is a short vent about Google. I needed to get this out… Why does Google constantly warn you when your free 15 Gb of cloud storage is close to full, then make it so difficult to delete anything from your account? Yes, I know the actual reason why – the scarier the warnings, the […]
My Audacity mistake
I discovered that when you rip an audio source using Audacity, then run the built-in exporter to create individual music files, you must remember to un-mute the source track before exporting. Duh. I ripped an old Magazine vinyl record (The Correct Use of Soap)) last week. My process is to rip each LP side to […]

The Chapel of Santa Lucia visit, Varano-Oppidi, Italy. July 19, 2025
(Click on the slideshow above to see larger version). Kelly and I experienced a wonderful 14-day journey across Italy in mid-July 2025. We were joined by Kelly’s sisters Brenda and Mary, her brother Terry and their respective spouses Frank, David and Michelle. Our journey was supposed to begin with a couple of days in Venice, […]

Linux – Debian new installs
I recently replaced my daily-use computer, an old Lenovo ThinkPad laptop, with a more current mini-PC, a Beelink SER5 MAX. Better graphics, better processor, more RAM, hefty NVME drive – everything about this little box is just better than what I had. Powerful and small. While getting things running the way I like and want, […]
Free Stuff!
My email spam folder receives new entries daily and I noticed an interesting trend a few months ago. There are “companies” that really want to give me a lot of free stuff! This all starts when you innocently provide your email address to an innocent-looking website. I’m pretty sure the culprit in my case was […]
