Fireside at the Veitch’s

by up10ad | Wed Sep 24, 2008 | All (Home), Lifestyle | 0 Comments

We all had a great meal the other night. Appetizers of shrimp and scallops followed by ribs. Sitting by the fire is a tradition that never fails to bring out good conversation and warm feelings.

Preparing for big yard/moving sale. Yes, those are pigs on MC on my head.

It is now mid-may and we're still unpacking at home! We have started a business as owners of the Flag Creek Cafe, located at the Meeker Golf Course. The startup is taking an inordinate amount of our time and energy, but after two weeks we are beginning to get our...

Thanksgiving, a time for family

This holiday season has started. The weather here in Delta is just about perfect for fall, crisp with a chill that reminds you of what is on the way. I'm going into this season with anticipation of Christmas without hospitals, in good health. I am so grateful to...

Bike ride on the Henry Hudson Trail, first stop was Off The Hook Restaurant & Bar for a quick Yuengling. On the way back home stopped at Water Witch for a coffee. Great local jam, lots of blues and a great rendition of the Stones Dead FLowers.

As if you were interested. I've been running the v3.0 beta for weeks now and it is nice. But the really exciting news is the new hardware that is probably going to be released, probably in June. I plan on pushing my current 16GB 3G phone to...

Oakridge Gun Range

by Rick | Fri May 15, 2015 | All (Home), Lifestyle | 0 Comments

Haven't been out shooting in a few years. Picked up a box of shells and went with a few friends to see how much edge I have lost. To my surprise I seem to be at least as accurate as I was when I was going regularly. I'm not really great, but I can still hit the...

It Didn’t Explode!

It's the time of year to burn the fields in preparation for the new hay season. I have a bit of pyromania in my blood so I always look forward to this task. Armed with my LP tank and weed burner attachment I set out burning the field south of the house. All went...

Blast from the past (redux)

by up10ad | Sat May 2, 2009 | All (Home), Me! | 0 Comments

Taken sometime in fall of 1968 is my best guess. Joanne (first wife) and I met at UM College Park. The Zonker raced at Capitol Raceway and posted high twelves.

Captive in my own home

by up10ad | Thu Sep 4, 2008 | All (Home), Health, Homestead | 0 Comments

Although my recovery is coming along fine, my mobility is limited by abdominal tenderness. I've been on the couch or in bed for days on end and it is annoying to say the least. The other night brought a beautilul sunset with bright long shadows that enticed me from...

Summer was mild, then we had a cold snap in early October with freezing temps, but since then it has been a beautiful fall season. Let's hope for a normal mild Delta winter.

A few weeks ago I was re-reading Tony Northrup's great DSLR guide, How to Create Stunning Digital Photography. In the section on night photography he discusses his technique for getting pictures of fireworks and I decided to try it this year. His method is simple;...

Early Morning Run!

Got up early and drove 30 minutes north to Blanchard Park for the Orlando Runners Club 5K. This was a spur of the moment idea when I ran across a blurb for the run online. I haven't done a full 5K for several years but felt I was in shape enough to do it in...
