Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0 with Stand (Smokeless Fire Pit)

December 11, 2024 When we were living in our RV full-time, we often saw other campers with Solo fire pits. They are beautiful, clean burning fire pits that produce very little smoke. Once fully burning, the fire is smokeless. I noticed a big sale on Amazon for the Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0. Bruce and I […]

Pictures of Cooking Chili on My Induction Stove for My Blog Friend Anne

December 8, 2024 My friend Anne from Mehrling Muse is very interested in cooking on an induction stove. I made a pot of chili for Bruce when he rode home on November 27. I took some pictures of making the chili, but didn’t really keep track of the spices I put into it. I don’t […]

What? It Got Down to 18 Degrees F Last Night!

December 6, 2024 When I woke up this morning at 7:30, I checked the temperature. It was only 21 degrees F, which surprised me. The predicted low was 20 degrees F. It got down to 18 degrees F last night! While it is only two degrees colder than predicted, it sounds a lot colder since […]

Bruce Got the Dryer Wiring Sorted

December 5, 2024 Bruce spent some time today figuring out the issue with the dryer wiring. It turned out the wiring for the dryer outlet had been disconnected at the circuit breaker. It appears part of the heat pump/air conditioning system took over the circuit breaker for the dryer. A new circuit breaker for the […]

Installing the New Dishwasher

December 2, 2024 Yesterday, we started installing the new dishwasher that was delivered while Bruce was at his dad’s. Here is Bruce unboxing the dishwasher while Nox watches. Next came figuring out which breaker belonged to the wiring the dishwasher uses. This took some time as Bruce used the opportunity to determine what most of […]

First Hard Freeze

November 30, 2024 It got down to 23 degrees F last night. When I got up to take Nox outside, the backyard was still covered in frost. I took some close up pictures of henbit covered with frost. The frost had started melting in the front yard. I am not sure what these weeds are. […]

Putting in a New Shower Head

November 29, 2024 The shower head in our shower wasn’t very good. It did not have much pressure or aeration. While at Lowe’s today, we took a page from the RV world and bought an Oxygenics shower head. When we got home, I mentioned to Bruce I was looking forward taking a shower with the […]

Yay! Bruce Is Home!

November 27, 2024 I heard the motorcycle roar up the driveway at 11:23 AM, so I ran into the garage as Bruce parked the motorcycle. He pulled off his helmet and gave me a kiss. As he shucked off his gear, I got Nox. Bruce loved on her as she wiggled with delight that her […]

A Project Completed While Bruce Was Gone

November 26, 2024 Bruce started home today. Google predicted 8 1/2 hours to arrive home. Bruce was expecting to arrive by 5:00 – 5:30 PM. The Atlanta, Georgia traffic jam was way, way worse than he was expecting. It delayed him by three hours. He stopped in Anniston, Alabama for supper and decided to stay […]
