1983
In January of 1983 I visited Tasmania, Australia while serving as an Electrician Mate on the nuclear attack submarine USS Seadragon, SSN584. I was based out of Oahu in the Hawaiian Islands. I also got to see some other places, including Hong Kong, Philipines and Guam.

I installed a new "Ring" doorbell. Ruthie decided to test it.
|
I went to an eight hour training on the Grandsport Speedway.

|
I did a lot of skeet shooting with my friends Larry and Dan in 2018. Larry has an automatic thrower that moves both horizontally and vertically to vary the path of the clay pigeon.

Me shooting one.

I inherited the shotgun from my dad. Once I gave it a good cleaning it turned out to be both reliable and accurate.

|
I bought a scope for the old Sears 22 rifle that I inherited. I used a laser bore sight to get it close then did the final adjusting on the range.

This project was several loads of fun. I put down 25 bags of mulch, that is 50 ft.³ The day before that I got up on the roof with a blower & rake and cleaned it off. My back is sore.

|
I did a little power washing of the brick by the patio.
|
|
|
I also power washed the garage eves, it looked to me like they needed it.
|
|
|
The door going to the garage looked in pretty bad shape, so I gave it a good coat of paint.

We had a bad storm with high winds on May 3rd. It did some damage to our oak tree in the back yard.
|
Using "Tree Paint" on the tree's wound.

April 2020
In my continuing effort to find things to do with my time off, I decided to make a squirrel picnic table. I used maple for the wood & stainless steel screws. I am going to screw it to our wooden fence in the backyard. Using maple was kind of a pain because I had to drill countersunk pilot holes for all the screws, but hey... nothing put the best for our squirrels.
August 2020
I edited together some short videos from a Nova series about how our universe works. The first three videos are only two minutes long. The last is eight minutes long, but it gives a good example of how God is outside of time.
