Married In Ohio

The “check engine” light came on after I drove through a BIG puddle of water on Friday. It turned out that the electrical system just got wet; but I was worried that it was going to be a lot worse. The last time that happened to me water got into the engine and the motor [...]

We had originally intended to do something more elaborate today; but as we mentioned earlier, the homeowner thing disrupted our plans. So instead, we’re posting a photo with “something is out of place”. Can you find what is not where it usually is in the photo below? You do not have to be a regular [...]

Miscellaneous musings from the mind of Midwestern City Boy (and sometimes California Girl). The house is all warmed back up after having to open the windows in 20-degree weather; but we are going to have huge utility bill next month. Just like we change the batteries in everything in the spring and fall when we [...]

Because of the porch and the walkway to our house were still icy from the sleet storm we had on Monday night, California Girl and I decided to cook dinner and call for our customary Tuesday pizza later in the week. Unfortunately, smoke from the oven as we prepared our dinner set off the alarm [...]

I was talking to a friend recently about how lucky The Girl is (sports wise). She’s always played; so she doesn’t think much about it; but she was able to continue her soccer career in college, and, even though it’s “the next level” she’s still usually the quickest, fastest, strongest player on the field. I [...]

By now, everyone has seen and heard of the married congressman who resigned after sending a woman he met online a shirtless photo of himself. We’re not posting on Craigslist but thought it would be fun to make a photo for our “ad” in the new jeans that we got this past weekend. I am [...]

Miscellaneous musings from the mind of Midwestern City Boy (and sometimes California Girl). We recently paid the deposit for The Boy’s room & board for his senior year. It’s hard for us to believe that he’s almost done with college. It doesn’t seem that long ago that he was in high school. We received $5 [...]

Although we usually post multiple photographs, we only posted a single photo for last week’s HNT. We are doing the same for today’s TFT post; selecting only a single picture that we like. Don’t worry; publishing one photo per post is not something that we plan to do all of the time. But, it is [...]

It’s a bit late in the day but I wanted to wish Happy St. Valentine’s Day to everyone who still believes in love (and celebrates today). Hope that that your day is great! California Girl, you you are very special to me. Happy Valentine’s Day.

I replaced the headlight on our SUV. It didn’t take as long as the last time; partly because I knew exactly what to do and partly because I didn’t waste any time being recovering from being totally flabbergasted by the stupidity of the designer. After six weeks of running on the treadmill or a small [...]
