To kill some time while waiting to visit relatives, I decided to visit the March Air Reserve Base Museum in RIverside, California. While it isn’t a huge museum like Dayton, it has a ton of character and most of it’s exhibits are on display outside next to the reserve airbase field itself AND there are no barriers or fenses separating…
Hanging out at Philips Seafood in BWI Marshall Airport waiting to board a flight to Ontario Airport in SoCal. Traveling through Denver and preying I don’t get screwed by the forecasted horrible storms. I already received several “please be patient” messages from United; which, while they are a nice customer service touch, doesn’t bode well. As it is I am…
About a year ago, we had a new driveway put in and sealing it has been on my honey do list for a very long time. This weekend we saw a rare two full days forecast with near zero chance of rain, so I decided to get it over with. Off to Home Despot I went and came home with…
Took a stroll around our office courtyard during lunch and discovered that we have quite a number of summer blossoms dotting the landscape. Very pretty and enjoyable. Helps one relax and decompress; if for but a moment.
One thing we do not lack for in Maryland is Rat (aka Black) snakes. Although they are not poisonous, the can be aggressive. For someone like me who grew up in a rattlesnake infested area, the can still generate a bit of an instinctive fright when stumbled upon. We find their shed skins all over the place, including in our…
Thunderstorms were predicted at 60%+ probably this afternoon, so I was able to avoid sealing the driveway. As it turns out, we slipped through a very small break in the cloud front and never received a drop. We’ll rain that is; 80% humidity creates plenty of moisture. Instead of working on the honey do list, we’re hanging at Loan Oak…
Rain is suppose to roll in early afternoon, so I got up early and jumped on the bike for a quick run to the Montgomery County Agricultural Farm in Derwood. The trails were in great shape, other than for the constant need to dodge encroaching blackberry vines. The highlight of the trip was a stroll through the demonstration garden where…
Hit up Wegmans for a bunch of necessities and decided to go for a Fish Friday appropriate meal. Salmon Imperial.
When my mom made rice in the old style simple electric rice cooker, she always made a ton extra. One of our favorite ways to use that extra was to make Inarizusi out of it. I am pretty sure that ai could find the necessary fried tofu wrappers soaked in Mirin (sweet sake) in an asian market, but there’s none…
I am very much missing my cousin. He was an absolutely fun dude to hang with. I spoke many times with him about spending time in retirement together and was looking forward to doings so. Alas, not to be. I was on the golf course yesterday and saw some kids ripping it up in an empty lot with a quad.…
