As a kid in southern California in the 60s’ I felt like Cheech and Chong, but these days I feel more like Archie Bunker… 👴

I gave big rig truck driving a shot, but honestly, I wasn’t great at it. It’s tough work and takes a lot more brainpower than people think—dealing with logbooks and everything else. If I were in law enforcement today, I wouldn’t hassle truck drivers unless it was for something serious. ✌️

I’ve been a revolver guy for most of my life. Sure, I’ve tried my fair share of semi-autos, but I always find myself coming back to the wheel gun. Now that I’m undeniably getting older—though I hate admitting it—it makes even more sense. My reflexes aren’t as sharp as they once were, and that...

I used to buy myself Christmas gifts because I couldn’t count on anyone else to get what I wanted. These days, my idea of a thrill is just paying off a bill. 🙄

I always use my charger on a new battery before installing it. 🤷‍♂️

Merry Christmas back-at-ya. 🎄

Merry Christmas 🎄

I joined the military at 17, so I might not be the best person to ask. Independence has always come naturally to me, and I've worked hard to instill that mindset in my kids. However, I've learned that each one is unique, so I can't expect the same from all of them. I help my kids when I can, but...

I test drove a VW Golf VR6 ages ago, and it was a blast. It felt a bit nose-heavy, but the power and agility definitely caught my attention. It wasn’t the most practical choice for me back then, but I still kind of wish I’d gone for it. Oh well, maybe I dodged a few speeding tickets—who knows? 🤷‍♂️

You’re right—it was apparently the 2.8L engine. I never really liked that vehicle, so I guess my memory faded along with my interest in it. 🥺

Back in 1984, I bought a brand-new Jeep Cherokee wagon—a stunning smoked gray metallic beauty. I can’t quite remember the interior details, but I do remember it being the most expensive car I’d ever owned at the time, costing just over $21K. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a bit of a...

Limited production run for the Chevrolet SS Sedan (aka Holden Commodore) was 2014—2017. 🤷‍♂️

Just measured my Wi-Fi from my iPad M2. 📡

Having spent most of my life in the desert, doing something like this felt almost counterintuitive. Even so, I needed to honor my OCD tendencies, and surprisingly, I’m okay with it.

Still driving my 2017 Chevy SS, hoping it holds up and doesn’t fail, especially with parts becoming harder to find. 🤞

I’m retired military, though not from aviation. I did get to ride in the gunner seat using the heads-up gunner controls of a Cobra S1 model during a demo once, and it was an absolute blast. A friend of mine had a Cessna 150, and we flew around San Diego County—I even got to take the stick for a...

I used to spend a lot of time in Italy, so I’ve become a bit spoiled when it comes to Italian coffee—it really hooked me while I was over there. I ended up buying a Nespresso machine when I got back to the States. It worked fine, but the pods were pricey and honestly not that great. When the...

Up early as always, relaxing in bed with my Italian coffee, iPad, and my three pups by my side. 🧘‍♂️☕️

I’ve come to love Arizona after spending my youth in Southern California. Sure, I miss the laid-back, surfer-dude, hippie vibes of those days, but California has gone off the rails in a lot of ways. The best thing about Arizona is its natural beauty—from the low desert of Yuma to the high desert...

No, I need some better pics. It’s a fake book which is a paisley, red and brown.
