This 2024 movie is obviously relevant, and if you have standard Amazon Prime it's free right now. I felt it was very engaging and the cinematography was impressive. It's worth your time. #conclave youtu.be/JX9jasdi3ic

Out for an evening walk in the neighborhood next to mine. This place is shared by many local retirees and a huge number of snowbird friends who join us from Canada each year. Despite the BS of our POTUS, our Canadian friends are, and will always be, a welcomed addition to our community. #Canada

It’s a gorgeous evening on the front porch. It’s been a while since I’ve dug out my 2 meter handy-talkie and hit a local repeater. Found one local ham to chat with. …73, de N1IVC.

Squeaky clean solar panels. 😁

There's one thing you can count on in the U.S. : Corporate Greed. They fund the SuperPACs, payoff lawmakers, etc. I give it 3 months before the oligarchs are tired of crashing profits from tariffs, they bully the POTUS, and the Administration comes up with some half-baked reason to remove tariffs.

I think it's time to work on Isaac 2.0, he's getting a little snarky. 🙄

Sun N Fun 51 is here. I realize a certain topic hordes all the news, but this started Tuesday and runs through Sunday. Shout out to my favorite podcast: Uncontrolled Airspace - hanger talk for us little pilots! #flysnf, #uncontrolledairspace,

I've never been a fan of Google, Alexa, etc. I don't like the privacy/security risk. Last year I built a custom A.I. and have been tweaking it ever since. Tonight I'm using machine learning to teach it it's new name and some new skills. #customAI,

Rüger never passes up an opportunity for a nap. #rhodeasianridgebacks, #ridgelife, #ridgebacks, #Dunedin, #DunedinFL,

Here's a few photos that reveal why trees in Florida are so susceptible to hurricane damage. Our huge live oak and other trees have a root system that is very shallow.

My next door neighbors had a jam session in their back yard and invited the "hood" over. Good times.

Friday's "soft" opening of Rosie's Tavern's new location in New Port Richey was a wild success. This place going to do great!

Check the box, make sure your berries come from Plant City, FL. Our farmers struggled through hurricanes at planting time, but fast growth and a brief cold snap generated the sweetest, most flavorful berries. Support our farmers! If it doesn't say "Plant City" put it back and find one that does!

It seems the older we get, the more this becomes an inevitable reality. Do not trivialize the time you spend with friends and loved ones, do not put off time you could spend. That day that never comes again is very unpredictable. Make *now* the most valuable - always. [my brother Dana, I miss you.]

Typical Ridgeback play.. Goof! #rhodesianridgeback, #Rhodesian, #Dunedin, #dunedinFL, #tampabayRidgebacks,

Flying rescue dogs; fun times!

Hanging at Pi Pizza with friends and neighbors. #dunedin, #DunedinFL, #pipizzadunedin,

I won’t divulge if we hit the lottery, but there will be signs. #eggprices, #egg&hashbrown, #cooking,

Rüger's lounging the sun and surveying the neighbors from the front yard. 😁 #RhodesianRidgeback, #RidgeLife, #RR, #Ridgeback, #Dunedin, #DunedinFL,#DunedinLife,

The greeting stretch. Did you know this actually your dog communicating with you? #rhodesianridgebacks, #dogstretch, www.thedogclinic.com/greeting-str...

Some pictures from last year, camping and kayaking around 10,000 Islands, S.W. Florida. #camping, #FLcamping, #Sunray109, #compactcampers, #FloridaCamping, #boondocking,

Nearly every time I stop for fuel I get asked the same question: "How do you camp in that little thing?". The answer is, very comfortably! #Camping, #compactcamper, #Sunray109, #FLcamping, #boondocking,

Trail camera catches a very rare sighting of Florida Panthers in the Everglades. #camping, #compactcampers, #Sunray109, #FLcamping,

I do think of this often, especially when I see the Dunedin Chat groups filled with whiners and complainers. We have so many things that we take for granted, and where we live. Things can always be better, but everyday I'm grateful for what I have - including relative good health. #grateful,

I've always had a thing for unusual cars of the past, and I have to admit someone made this '76 AMC Pacer look good!

Why do dogs sniff a human's crotch? Awkward, yes. But we're applying "human" feelings to a situation. Dogs can communicate with us better than we think.

Got Rosie's Tavern of New Port Richey all installed, programmed, and ready to go. They just need Spectrum to do their thing. #rosiestavern, #rosiestavernNPR, #NPR, #NewPortRichey, #DunedinDynamics, #DunedinDynamicsInc, #DigitalSigns,

I haven't seen the movie, nor the stage performance. But I'm familiar with Defying Gravity from Wicked. This group of young musicians, Third Reprise, transformed it into a jazz-funk version that I think is brilliant. The vocal talent, the layers, the arrangement, is awesome. youtu.be/doKGd9_Ux-g

Anyone in Florida who's looking at their power bill right now and is fortunate enough to own A/C with a heat pump; the laws of thermodynamics are not lost on you! It is much less expensive to move heat than it is to generate it with electricity. I do not have a heat pump. 🙁

It wasn't exactly gourmet, but everyone remembers school cafeteria pizza, right? The soft bready crust was a result of a crafty recipe - and it was found, directly from the 1982 USDA School Food Service recipe binder.

A lot changed at the dawn of 2025. Now, more than ever, we need to help protect our parents and other older people on Facebook. #protecttheeldery, #protectyourparents, #facebookprotection, #facebook, #actitityoffmetatracking, #metaactivitytracking, #activitytrackingoffmeta,

Tonight: Homemade pork fried rice. 🥰. (Included, but not shown: garlic, scallions, ginger, sesame oil) #homeplates, #homecooking

You’ve heard the phrase “patch” used when it comes to a software fix? It actually comes from the days when computer punch cards had an error that needed to be fixed. …and now you know the rest of the story. 😁
