PHOTO DUMP – October 18, 2023

I spent most of the day doing laundry in the tent-shelter today, and Pete also had a work day, working on getting his antennas up as well as misc. things around the yard. I took a ton of pictures around our property of all sorts of things, even going partway down the path toward the …

Supernal Sunday – October 8, 2023 Edition (with alt-texts)

I almost didn’t put up a Supernal Sunday post today. I am really struggling right now, incredibly sad. Hard to concentrate. Etc. I’ve been spending time reading about hope. My hope is in the Lord, there is no doubt about that. It doesn’t mean that the things that happen in this world don’t grieve me. …

Little Thrift Store Haul – Oct. 2, 2023 (with alt-texts)

Pete and I went down to Saginaw for an appointment he had at the VA this afternoon and while we were down there we stopped at the MASSIVE Volunteers of America thrift store. Everything I bought was discounted. I got a computer bag, a frying pan to replace mine which is wearing out, a maroon …

Costco “Receipt Haul” – September 28, 2023

Just a few notes: Those items with a dot after the name are the mainstays of Pete’s diet. He doesn’t eat pork or poultry, and eats beef once a week or less; his polish sausage is 100% grass-fed beef, not a typical sausage. Those items with a – after the name are what I bought …

My Pinterest Connection – September 26, 2023 Edition: Carnivorish (no alt-texts)

I’ve gone from low carb to keto (yes there IS a difference!) to ketovore. And on my path to total carnivore (I think that it is inevitable at this point!) I’m considering how I eat, “carnivorish”. I make animal-based food/ingredient choices whenever possible…search out animal-based recipes…am drawn to animal-based and rarely interested in plant-based foods…you …

VIDEO: Hymns. September 21, 2023

Recorded as I played through some hymns on my Tyros5-76, editing out the flotsam and jetsam. As always, this is to share with my friends, not a performance. But I hope you enjoy it anyway!β€œIf you seek perfection, look elsewhere.” ~ Chiafucius

CHANGES AFOOT: UPDATE 2 – Sept 19, 2023

Aaaaaaalrighty then. Picking up from where I left off in Update 1… The first thing I realized when I started setting up the MM (Monster Machine, I think…or Music Machine…or Master Machine…but I like the first one best) which is the Dell Optiplex 3040 that will run Windows or Linux, contain my digital sheet music …
