Watching the NHL Winter Classic. Enjoying a cocktail, a Sazerac. Probably won’t make it to midnight. Getting up early to drive to Atlanta to see our daughter in the morning. On the other I’ll probably be up at midnight once the Battle of Anderson begins & the fireworks start up.

Tornado warnings in late December. Fun times!

Made it safely back across the Palmetto State Park dodging one Turkey vulture and only made my mother scream twice about my driving and/or other’s driving abilities. Didn’t see any of the remaining escaped monkeys in Yemassee, SC and made good time through the bomb plant. Had a delightful lunch...

One more night on the coast and then we get to drive back across the Palmetto State tomorrow.

Been 50 or lower with 20 mph winds here. Rainy one day too. We’ve had a great time, but it’s been cold at times.

Hope it’s warmer there. The wind has made for some cold walks on the beach in SC.

Rented a house at Harbor Island, SC for the week. It’s the 2 of us plus our daughter and my mother. Cold & windy this evening walking the dogs. Then it struck me, I never grabbed my shirts and they are 270 miles away from me all the way across the Palmetto State. Now I have to go shopping 2 days...

We have ENO hammocks. We’ve had the oldest one for probably 15 years so they are durable. Never had a different brand so I don’t have anything to compare these to. https://eaglesnestoutfittersinc.com/

In college I took the 2 freshman ROTC classes. They were trying to get you to sign up and you could take those classes without having to drill. You had a lab each semester. One semester you had to go to the range. You learned how to take the M-16 apart and reassemble it, then you fired it a...

I like wild boar especially as sausage. I’m pretty picky about pork I eat. Get it from some local farms a lot of the time. For Christmas, I bake a ham and I drive out of the way to get what I want. Know some guys that go out and hunt with nothing but machetes and knives . We are in the part of...

Wild hogs are problem n the Carolinas too. When my wife was in grad school at Clemson getting a Forestry. They would go to the coast do research at this place near Georgetown, SC (close to Myrtle Beach). She tells people they carried guns into the forest. People always say, “For the gators...

The State Parks of SC does a Scavenger Hunt each December called Dashing Through Parks. It’s done with an app called Goose Chase. Some you can do from, but most you need to go the parks to do. Sometimes it is a specific, like Santa is there on Saturday at park x. We’ve done it each of the years...

Yeah, being at a school without problems is a plus due to the stability. It’s a rural county with a small college with a sizable Mennonite population too. It’s a small high school too. Coaching lets you get to know kids on a more personal level. Being at a point in life where I’m good...

From what I’ve read most of those Japanese shows were toned down for American audiences due to the standards of the day about violence. Also, they could fit more commercials in for us too. It was probably Starblazers here for us too. We’ll watch Planes, Trains, & Automobiles sometime over the...

I got talked back into coaching and it is killing my camping time. Cross Country in the fall & Track in the spring, but I’m enjoying it though. Gonna do a few more years, 2-4 anyway &retire for good. I’m actually retired, but able to keep teaching because of a teacher shortage. Double dipping is...

Between the forum being down and coaching Cross Country, I haven’t been on here much lately. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Would like to add the spray foam to our attic. My father had his done and you can go in his attic in the SC summer. In mine in the summer, you’ll be soaking wet in 10...

For those looking to help out in my region, especially NC, here some ideas of who you might want to look into donating to: MANNA Foodbank - They help around 16 counties in NC & have been around for 40 years. They were featured on The Today Show this week. We donate to them regularly...

I live in the city in an older neighborhood. Lots of large trees, but there will be areas that are no longer covered in trees. Flooding wasn’t much of an issue for us. Most of the rivers are dammed in Upstate SC. Really worried about people in the mountains. A lot of it is already isolated and...

Came through the hurricane in pretty good shape. We even got power back within 24 hours. A few hundred yards from us was part of an area that was decimated with trees crashing down telephone poles snapped in two. About 70% of my county(Anderson, DC) lost power & many still don’t have it. I...

Waiting on 40 mph winds from the Hurricane to arrive along with some 60-70 mph gusts. And a lot of rain. So what time will I lose power and for how long will it be out. I predict 2:49 and it will be out for 36 hours. And if it is out for longer than that, I’m loading up Jeremiah and going...
