What Can Be Learned from Watching Many Modern TV shows

1. Never promise anything! It's almost guaranteed to cause disaster and/or death to the person that's being promised to! Adult or kid!

2. It must be okay to do so because EVERYBODY in TV shows drinks and drives or does something deadly right after downing a good stiff drink! Police, Doctors, Lawyers, all get together at the local dive after work to toss back a few drinks to "unwind", then drive home where ever that may be, but usually has 'no sympathy' for anyone doing the same thing they meet up with 'on the job'. It also is perfectly OK to keep that bottle of alcohol in your desk drawer, if you are the boss, it's even expected!

3. No matter where you are, day or night, it's easier to use a really bright flashlight than to just turn on a light switch! All rooms where a crime has been committed are foggy with smoke so you can more easily see the light beam from that flashlight you've got.

4. No matter what you're doing must NEVER wait for more people and you must ALWAYS split up and go in alone especially when you are pretty sure the bad guy or guys are there somewhere waiting for you. You know you can take them all on!

5. TV can show people getting blasted away with all kinds of guns or bombs, knives or swords with parts flying, arms and legs, heads, internal organs, etc., zombies can eat your face but if there is a naked woman's breast shown people get upset and threaten to boycott the sponsors of the TV series for 'corrupting young minds'.

6. No matter what you do or say, living is fatal!

I can't say I'm on a roll just yet, but here's a new post!

So, to continue with last weeks story. In August, Stacy finally got the trailer she's been wanting all along. Yes, while I like the larger, around 28 to 30 foot or so, RVs, Stacy has kept the idea that smaller is better. Smaller can go pretty much anyplace you'd want to camp and our 5th wheel, at 34-feet long, while it can go most places, it can't go 'anyplace' due to the length. When we got the 5th wheel in July 2017, I was surprised Stacy was willing and even suggested, we go for it trading in our 33-foot travel trailer to get the Jayco. Again, the "Wildcat Maxx" was a nice travel trailer. It had made several short and two long trips in the almost two years we'd owned it. We lucked out as in an era of the rapid assembly to make the crazy sales numbers the RV industry has been having, the Wildcat was "completed on a Wednesday by happy Amish at the factory" as we didn't have any of the build issues I still read about from the appar...

2021, the long hot summer of our discontent!

Yes, it was one long HOT summer! In addition to the record-breaking heat along the coastal ranges in Oregon, Washington, and into Canada, we saw temperatures in this Northern Idaho area I NEVER thought we would see again after moving away from the high desert of Southern California in 2006! The hottest temp was an afternoon high of 112 degrees (44.44 C) on June 30th. But, hot, hot days, too warm evenings, no rain so dusty and dry. Record heat, the hottest weather ever recorded in Idaho, and, according to the stories, only the beginning of the heat that will probably be the "new normal" from this point on. Seems that the same "high-pressure bubble" that causes the cold and snow of winter weather to almost completely bypass our region of the pacific northwest in winter causes record heat in our same region of the pacific northwest in the summer! Since my last post, mainly, we have just been living and trying to avoid getting Covid. Stacy and I got our vaccinations...

Spring, and warmer weather is in the air!

I had started this post on April 15th, now it's the 23rd so this is now history! Warmer temps, for a few days anyway. After the last few weeks of more like winter than spring temps, it is pushing 70-degrees (21.1 C) today! It's been clear, not windy like the last three days, and generally nice weather. We can only hope it will continue to be good weather with it not too dry for the late summer since it has been a dry winter and spring so far. The last time it was particularly dry it was a very bad summer for Hornets. Most places in the region have many of those yellow and greenish hanging hornet traps set all over the place. We do too! Time to get the traps out, cleaned, and set out for the season. You have to get the traps baited and up soon as with the warm weather the hibernating queens come to and start looking for places to set up new nests. That one year though, hornets were everywhere! The forest was alive with the buzzing of thousands (millions?) of hornets. Dozens ...
