In the late 70's we lived in a small home in a community in the mountains west of Denver, it was during the last portion of Jimmy Carter's presidency when he had reduced the speed limit on the freeways to 55 mph and his statement to the press was, "that you could drive a great deal slower than...

We've had a HP DeskJet 2652 printer for a number of years now and it seems that every time we try to print something it will kick out a test print, my DW is trying to make a scan copy and it's been to no avail and of course the ink cartridges are small and costly, in doing some research on the...

Our son that is now living on our property due to the unaffordability of a place to rent or buy in the Grants Pass area has been using our 2007 Tundra to move various things out here and was parked on the lefthand side of 6th avenue, a one way street and while he was inside a kitchen supply...

So my amazing, "sneaky" wife set up a birthday party right under my nose, I thought I was going to our neighbors for her son-in-laws birthday which was on the 10th, I assumed they were doing it on the 8th because he had to work the 10th. Anyway my wife lined up as many friends as she could to...

I've posted a lot about the importance of water, as far as I'm concerned it's become number one on my list. In fact this is a project I'm working on for a friend. She didn't realize just how important it was until my wife and I explained to her just how much a person uses during the day, what...

Before my old Toshiba laptop gave up my DW and I bought a new MacBook Pro, I'm still learning how to run it but in most cases, it's pretty intuitive, just by clicking on keys I'm learning, I also had to get a new Satellite modem as the old one wouldn't connect during the day, the MacBook figured...

Somehow we ended up getting two slow cookers, a small base with a 200 watt heating element with about 4 quart pots to go on them. The first time we used one was out on the desert in N.W. Nevada while we were out detecting for gold. We were using the solar system on our motorhome and it was...

I've been trying numerous times to get on Firearmstalk and Yahoo, both to no avail, however I've gotten on some other sites with no problem, including this one. Anyone else having problems?

So our dear friends that live about a 1/4 mile down the road often bring us things, things she's cooked, vegetables she's grown, watermelon she got from her daughters garden, all very good, on the other hand while her husband was walking around outside a timber rattler slithered by with one...

Twice now when we have been sitting out on our deck a small herd of elk have come out of the woods above within a 100 feet of our home, I've seen up to 5 calves along with a few yearlings along with about 10 older cows and bulls, all are very healthy looking.

Our dear friends, like more family than our family, just brought us 23 barred rock chicks, they told us that they have been looking for chicks for us for some time. They said they only paid 25 cents each, they asked the salesman a number of times if that was the correct price but we all figure...

So our dear friend down the road calls to say there is a cougar calling that they think is close to us, so I break out my Mini 14 and shine the flashlight uphill, no cougar but I fired three quick rounds toward a 15 gallon barrel I have near the top of our property and after the last round was...

We just bought two 1,100 gallon poly tanks, one for the garden and one to add to our 1,100 gallon cistern at the top of our property. With the help of my good friend from down the road, the garden tank is set up, all that needs to be done is the poly pipe going to the top of the garden where...

So we had a little snow here and some of it was rather heavy, not to deep but heavy and tree branches and trees have been falling all over the place, thousand of people in the region are without power and our friends down the road, their daughter and SIL in Grants Pass don't have heat or cooking...

I had a visit with my cardiologist two days ago and he said I was doing better, however, due to my heart efficiency not getting above 35% he told me that I should have an automatic defibrillator put in me. Of course while I'm hearing him talk about it, I'm thinking, well I'm coming up on 77...

I didn't have them when I was a kid but some of my friends did and I attribute some of my mechanical/wood skills to playing with them. It seems Erector Sets and Lincoln Logs have been replaced by cell phones and computer screens and it doesn't seem to me that those things would inspire an...
