(Im)Patiently Awaiting the Collapse
I listen (and support via Patreon) a prepping podcast, Prepping 2.0. (Link is to the web site, you can subscribe from there if you’d like.)…

Here we go again
Haven’t been home for a week and we’re going to be gone again. This time Mrs. Freeholder and I are heading to a nearby campground,…
Fish 3, Fishermen 0
Son and I spent 3 days trout fishing in West Virginia and got skunked. No matter, because we got to have a good time. There…
Probably nothing the remainder of the week
I’m on a trip with Son to West By Gawd Virginia in search of the elusive brook and brown trout. Reports from my spies in…
Bailing out for the weekend
We’re off to somewhere more elevated in search of a couple of days respite from the heat and humidity. Report to follow.
You asked, I’ll answer
Apparently my previous post has more than a few folks head-scratching. I don’t blame them. I had a hard time writing that one, and I’m…
This is irritating
I’ve been trying for 3 days to get something down in a readable format and I simply can’t do it. It’s not a disaster; it…
Vacating
I am off vacating with family and friends in the Deplorable Davos, Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. I’m hoping to post this week, but all I have…
Disappearing Act
I’m going to disappear on you again. I have four 6 hour shifts to work on the boiler in the picture above. I hadn’t heard…
Make way! Busy guy here!
There may or may not be much posting the rest of the week. I’ve got several things that have jumped up and want attention, plus…
New sites
There is a small group of sites, on the right, wa-a-y down, known as “Other Important Sites”. In a way, it’s really the “Miscellaneous” list,…
It’s here!
The new keyboard has arrived, and first impression is WHOOPEE! Some small part of that is because it’s anything besides that blasted little POS I’ve…
Hiccups
I’ve noted that the images associated with a couple of recent posts have magically disappeared. They have been replaced. It appears that WordPress has as…
It’s going to be a beautiful week
Temperatures are forecast to be in the 70s and it’s supposed to be sunny most of the time. Mrs. Freeholder is taking a week off,…
Comment notifications
If I have it right, you can now receive notifications of new comments on a post you have commented on.
I remember (yet again) why I hate changing computers
Seriously, I had forgotten how much swearing I could do when I have to swap out a computer. And I’ve done two in recent days,…
*explitive* WordPress *explitive*
I know this is nothing other than getting used to a new platform, but good grief this can be frustrating. I want the picture that…
Still working on it
Still at it; still figuring things out. I changed the tags to categories and got all the Uncategorized posts to be uncategorized, rather than all…
Incrementally Better
As I noted on the final post at the old Blogger site: B was right, there is more learning curve than I anticipated. It would…
Yep-we’re moving
At long last, I’m going to take the advice of several folks and move. I’ve registered a domain name and I’m looking into a host…
Posting images
In an effort to work with my blog format rather than against it, most if not all posts going forward are to have a picture…
Well, that didn’t work out
I’ve gotten some messages from folks who don’t care for the new format of the blog. I get it, it isn’t my favorite either. However,…
No comments if you do, spam if you don’t
So, tired of zero comments, I turned on anonymous commenting, meaning folks without a Google account can now comment again. And this evening, I just…
Still playing with the theme
Back to what it was for now. Some of the built-in themes make some odd changes as I twiddle with gadgets. Experimentation will continue, so…
Comment change
I’ve had to change things so that a commenter must have a Google account to comment. Sorry, but wading through the anonymous spam comments was…
Playing with the blog theme
I wanted something that looked a little more like it belonged in 2019. Still working on the details, but at least the site is usable…
God help all who enter here
Another person with something to say takes the plunge into the blogging waters. Be afraid–be very afraid. I’m doing this on the spur of the…
