Took a trip to Disney Epcot, haven't been there in 20 years or so. Had a great day just walking all around Bay Lake visiting all the countries. Lunch at Tutto Italia Ristorante in Italy and dinner at the Yachtsman Steakhouse in the Yacht Club Resort. Beautiful water...

Just a quick snap taken during my walk/jog around the neighborhood on my birthday. No exposure information saved since it was taken within the Runkeeper app on my iPhone 6 Plus. Editing with Snapseed app to underexpose the lower section and with Touch/Retouch app to...

Looks like I'm getting an entry in here about once every year, whether it needs it or not. I never was good at journals. Well, the Flag Creek Cafe lasted until about July 15, at which time we completely understood why the restaurant business is so different from the...

Scallops on a bed of rice and romaine. This is part of the reason why I have dropped form a high weight of 282 in December of 2007 to 229 this week, My goal is to get to about 190 lbs.

Just an update

by up10ad | Tue May 21, 2002 | All (Home), Weather | 0 Comments

Spent a bit of time updating the pics pages and moving the site as a sub-web of my weatherweather.net site. I've always been interested in weather phenomenon and after leaving Bakersfield it dawned on me that I'm finally living in an area that actually HAS...

I don't usually add stuff here unless it relates to our life somehow, but this is an exception. My purpose in linking to this video is not to discourage people from getting the vaccine, but to show how strange the human body functions. Keep in mind...

The Great American Bacon Race!

by Rick | Sat Aug 1, 2015 | All (Home), Health, Runkeeper | 0 Comments

Fun event, but a little bit pricey. I guess they need to cover the cost of giving away bacon at two water/bacon stations during the run, and at the bacon party afterwards. Oh, and also pay for the big honkin' heavy bacon finisher medallions.

Peacock at Magnolia Park

Unfortunately, although I followed him for about 30 minutes, he didn't open his fantail. He looks a bit scraggly so it may not have been that spectacular anyway.
