Belle’s Last Day (Part I)

Belle's Last Day (Part I)
Such long legs

I had planned on writing a long story of Belle’s last day, but went through all of the pictures I had on hand and just couldn’t do it. Might do it tomorrow. But for now, above is the first picture I have of her. And here is the last: Continue reading “Belle’s Last Day (Part I)”

Metal ball bearinG (9/2/93)

Below is the intro I wrote at the end of ’94 about this, but I moved it to the end. I have edited it based on a few grammar issues. I still hate crowds. I’m not as much of a fan of live concerts because of this. Ironically, I now hang with some of the people that push to the front. I have mixed feelings about that.

Table of Ultimate Gaming Review (without the extras)

Back in July of last year (2017), I started getting notifications of a gaming table on Kickstarter called the Table of Ultimate Gaming (ToUG). I was getting more interested in it as the days went by. I always wanted a gaming table, but they were super expensive upwards to $10,000. This one did not have all the bells and whistles as what I personally wanted in a table like a built-in touchscreen, but as far as a table went, this one had promise, specifically for the price.

What is it?

What is it?
What is it?

I was cleaning one of my rooms and found an old tape case I converted into a briefcase I used for carrying player info for role-playing back in the day. I know I acquired the case from my sister, and I also know that I ripped the tape holder portion out of the container to allow books and papers to fit. Once this was done, I was left with a cardboard base for stability and a material holder that was a makeshift briefcase precursor to a messenger bag. Continue reading “What is it?”

Rainbow Springs/Falls

Rainbow Springs/Falls
Lily, on the road

Gathering my gear for both Lily and myself, I packed for the trip to see some ghosts. Rainbow Springs is an old is a former phosphate mine and later a tourist attraction that eventually went under as Disney took away the attraction and people no longer came to that area. Eventually, the state purchased the property and made it into a state park. The springs and falls still operate as they did back in the day. Continue reading “Rainbow Springs/Falls”

Two Squash, Two Bean, Tomato-Free Chili

A little background. I have an allergy to tomatoes but love chili. I had to come up with another way of doing chili, and I have seen starters for white chili, but those also have tomato. I saw that pumpkin, when sauced, has a similar texture. So I thought, why not do that. Went to purchase a pumpkin and through it would go well with acorn and butternut. Someone suggested that I roast the squash before making the chili. It would give it a better flavor. Continue reading “Two Squash, Two Bean, Tomato-Free Chili”

What, Another Update?

I cleaned up some of the past posts. I also added a “Continue reading” link to almost all of the post so reading from the home page will not be as difficult going through all of the past posts in reverse order just to get to a post. Also, there was a request for another FAQ to be added. I did so. Two, in fact. Note, there is a menu on top and all of the items work. Lastly, there was a poem added earlier today. First one I wrote in a while. I think I will post the old ones in the future and give the new ones more time to be created. Fiction in the future.
