Cat “Bee” Costume
Our orange tabby, Pumpkin, is a pretty laid back, no he is a complete laid back cat. He has let us, for years, dress him up for Halloween. This year we decided on a bumble bee costume.
Pumpkin is a big cat and used to be able to wear Build-a-Bear clothes. Now, he is in dog costumes. [...]
Halloween Costumes
I have been “Seaweed”, a “Carrot”, a “King”, an “Indian Chief”, a “Court Jester”, a “Cheerleader”, “Pa Ingalls”, a “Domino”, a “Cowboy”, a “Genie”, just to name a few, and these were all as an adult!
My wife helped create all these costumes. It’s been about 3 years since I last dressed up and I haven’t [...]
No Cheesburgers In Paradise
I always have found memories of places I have traveled and restaurants that I have ate in. Up in Blowing Rock there was a restaurant called, Cheeseburgers In Paradise. I like Jimmy Buffet and I like cheeseburgers, so I have eaten there with family on our trips to the mountains.
I haven’t been to the mountains [...]
Frost On The Winshield!
This morning we got down to 35 and frost formed on many windshields in the area.
My daughter’s car is parked outside and she gets up early to drive to school. Well this morning after leaving for school, our phone rings. It’s our daughter calling from the driveway! She found frost on the windshield and wasn’t [...]
Trying to Grow Oregon Grass
Well I have done it again. I aerated and seeded my lawn. I had several large patches that I had to completely seed because last year I couldn’t water my seed so grass never grew there. Weeds and Bermuda grass sure took over this year. So after killing that I am ready for a lawn.
I [...]
High School Math, Again
I have become a math tutor. Now this involves helping my daughter through Honors Pre-calculus.
I have a minor in mathematical studies, but when you haven’t used something for years it tends to fade away. So I feel like I am back in math class again, because I have to learn everything again and do some [...]
Too many car keys, help AAA.
I am borrowing a car from my mother-in-law to “test” drive it for a week to see what kind of gas mileage it gets and to see how it feels to me. Well last night I went to her house to pick it up and she handed me a set of keys.
I put a key on [...]
Bad Timing For Holiday Rain
One question I sometimes get asked by school kids…”do you ever mess up a forecast?” Well, I tell them that even though we are right most of the time…no one is perfect. That definitely came home to roost Friday night on the 4th of July.
Earlier in the day, I worked and forecast a chance of storms after [...]
A Weatherman Tries To Dance
At my daughter’s dance class, they have a Father/Daughter dance at the yearly recital. This usually is for comic relief as the dads aren’t as smooth as their daughters. Even though it is a big challenge for most of the dads, over the years it has been a lot of fun.
This year we did a [...]
Lose Your Keys?
It’s probably happened to everybody….”where did I put my keys?” Well it happened to me this morning.
I usually leave my keys in a drawer in the kitchen. Well at 3am this morning (yawn), I was ready to get to work when I opened the drawer….and….NO KEYS!
Well after searching the kitchen and den, I went [...]
