Spring has finally arrived here in NH. The trees are playing catch up baseball with the leaves straining to develop as rapidly as possible. Spring in the Northeast and other places means black flies. I was out last week hiking to a glorious hidden oasis here in New Hampshire with my buddy Jim Cluett, he's […]
I survived the lashing rain driving to and from Lynn's house last week. She was the Grand Prize winner in the Treasure Hunt. If you live in the Southeast and East Coast, you know that last week was epic. As I drove from Maryland after visiting Lynn, I ran into heavy pelting rain in Delaware […]
Yesterday, I spent most of the day here. I was attending an all-day Rules Class to be certified as a conductor and engineer on the Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad. I received an exclusive offer two months ago by one of the railroad employees to be a part-time conductor on this scenic train operation. I've always been […]
While you're reading this, assuming you do so within an hour or two of it landing in your inbox, I'll be with my son driving towards Lynn's house in Maryland. Lynn was the Grand Prize winner in the Treasure Hunt. On Wednesday, I'm going to tackle at least one project for her, and maybe two […]
Is it just me or are the weeks screaming by? It's now the fourth week of April for goodness sakes. On Monday, April 21, 2014, I worked the Boston Marathon again as a ham radio operator. It was a busy day at my location - Chestnut St. and Commonwealth Ave. in Newton, MA. That's mile […]
Spring is here, but you wouldn't know it today if you're here at my house. It was 79 F on Monday and 60 F yesterday during an all-day rain. Last night a big cold front blew through and by dawn today it was 24 F with a dusting of snow! Brrrrrrrrrrrr. Old Man Winter, you've […]

Last Week's Killer Hike I mentioned briefly in last Tuesday's newsletter that I went on a hike last Sunday that nearly killed me. I didn't feel like I was having a […]

Two days ago, I did a hike to the top of Mt. Morgan here in NH. As soon as I send this newsletter, I'm going to write up the story. Suffice it to say, it about killed me. I'll send you the link to the story on Sunday. Wait until you see the photos in […]
Oh, it's a glorious day here in NH! Finally some sun and warmer temperatures! This past weekend, I worked both days, so I plan to go outdoors after lunch and take the afternoon off. I'm going to go on a hike with my buddy Jim Cluett, and I'll be on my cool little radio trying […]
