Fishing Nomads

In early August, our nephew Sid asked if he could come visit for a week before he had to return to school. My sister Juli called the night before to be sure of the meeting location on the north side of Wichita, Kansas – the halfway point for both our parties to meet.  Juli would … More Fishing Nomads

Disastrous Dusting

FD and I found ourselves quite busy over the 2014 holiday season. We traveled to Dallas for Christmas only to have the alternator go out in the car just a few miles from our destination. FD also discovered an issue with a broken driver’s side door.

Slaying the Maxtor Beast and Retrieving my Photographs!

Back in July, I wrote a post called, “The Day Mr. Maxtor Ate My Photos”.  I was quite disappointed at the time, to learn the last two years of wildlife and personal photography where no longer accessible when our external Maxtor hard drive quit working.  FD had tried a number of fixes but Mr. Maxtor … More Slaying the Maxtor Beast and Retrieving my Photographs!
