Been a While

It really has been a while since I last posted to this blog!

I’m putting together a 72 hour Go Bag. Well, I was putting it together, it’s done now.

Everything was purchased of Amazon for the bag and nothing was high-dollar.
Example; the knife above cost $7.00. Full metal and with a fire-striker and nylon sheath. I’d say the most expensive thing was either the 32oz Nalgene bottle or the Stove. I think both were in the mid $20 dollar range. A LOT of the stuff I already had on-hand.

OH! The most expensive piece was the bag! It’s a Maxpedition Barron Duffle bag. But honestly, it was purchased for my traveling not for this. I just decided to use as such.

The ONLY thing left to gather up are the food items, but that I can pick up along the way.

New Member of the Family

A few weeks ago, we got an addition to the family, Jethro Leroy Gibbs (we just call him Jethro), a Rottweiler and Blue Heeler mix.

He looks more like a Rottie, but I don’t believe he’s giong to get as big as one though.
BUT, he sure is growing fast. He’s about 4 months old now.

Not So Much

I haven’t traveled, well, at least not posted about it on this blog, just at all lately.

Hope this will change soon. Right now, I’m out with back issues – which I have NEVER had before..

Sucks!

The Drive to Dothan, AL

I had to drive to Dothan, AL on 01/26/2012 for work so I took a few minutes while having to stop for a snack to take a few pictures going to and from Dothan that day.

Getting to stop and take a few pictures makes the drive better.

Playing around with Photography

Just out playing around with some macro photography this morning. This is a Chevy El Camino hotwheels I barrowed from my granddaughter (yes, I’ll give back).

Taken with my old Nikon S210 point and shoot camera.

Any Cemetery

For our 27th anniversary, my wife and our granddaughter took a drive north of where we live in Columbus, GA. Our destination was supposed to be Desoto Falls in Desoto State Park in Alabama, but we never made it (that’s usual for us). The destination was just a target to drive toward.

Anyone that knows me knows I like to wonder around old cemeteries and take in the history and art of the headstones. I don’t consider it creepy in the least bit at all.
I stop at every old cemetery I come across!

Like this one. On Saturday, 01/14/2012, I went geocaching. I will usually go north, south, east or west from where we live to geocache (I really don’t care for geocaching around where I live – I can do that anytime, but this day, I decided not to stray too far from home and went toward the Tuskegee National Forest in Alabama. It took me 2.5 hours to go 50 miles from my house because I kept finding all the old cemeteries!

The above headstone was behind this church:

This church is no longer used, but has a lot of character about it though.

 

Headstones like the one above is the reason I like walking around old cemeteries.Some graves have been long forgotten and if it weren’t for people like me, nobody would even know the forgotten graves were even there.
