    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    That reminds me of when we were still spending a majority of the winter in MN and our neighbor was renting out his seasonal home in the winter for people who might want to ice fish. Well a group of Texans rented it for a weekend retreat. Now we normally let the first few snows get packed down on...

    Most of the vegetation is really starting to pop down here about now. I got most of the pruning done about a month ago, so new growth is showing up on those shrubs. Mid 70s today, but into the 90's later this week, and supposed to break 100 mid next week. Will have to start thinking about...

    Trying to pick a canopy tent for camping

    The fact is, that there are quite a few different types of canopies / tents / & tarps that will work, and you can get a really good idea of what folks like and don't like about most of them by reading through the many pages of "Lots of opinions on Canopies" that Seth provided a link to...

    Oshkosh Airshow

    It will be busy no matter when you go, and can be a bit overwhelming when you see the size of the whole operation. When you go should depend on if there is something special that you want to see that is only going to be on a certain day. There are night time airshows using special lighting, and...

    I seen to remember a news story within the last few years that mentioned that many of the human observers who manned the towers have been replaced by electronic sensors that are better at spotting the fires than the human eye....and cost less to maintain.

    Where are you going in 2026?

    We had a family reunion in Seaside, OR about 14 yrs ago, then went down to Crater Lake after, and were amazed at its beauty. They were still running the sightseeing boat at that time. We could see it from the scenic drive around the lake, but weren't able to take the time to board it ourselves...

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    After a few days with highs in the mid 60's middle of last week when my sister and BIL arrived for a visit, we ran up into the mid 80's over the weekend and early this week, so they were able to get in a little pool time before they left yesterday. Supposed to get into the 90's over the...

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    No dragon heater, it just had a wall furnace in the hallway, so we kept all the doors to the bedrooms and bath open to keep the air circulating, and the lower kitchen cupboard doors open on the coldest nights and let the faucets drip to help keep the pipes from freezing. It was an adventure, but...

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    Yeah, when we were first getting started and living in a 12 yr old 10x48 two bedroom mobile home for five years while saving our nickels and dimes to build, I ended up fashioning some skirting out of some painted chipboard and banking the snow around it to keep the wind from pulling all the heat...

    Yeah, the Vikes may be kicking themselves for letting Sam go after JJ McCarthy's first two lack luster injury riddled seasons.

    ......almost makes me homesick, but when we got back to MN in mid-March a few years ago, and found myself doing this, is when we decided to start staying in AZ a little longer.;)
