Here for cats, sports (go Lions, Tigers), travel, music.
Michigander spending cold months in Florida.

Ooh-woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now
I been feeling it since 1956, now
Might be over now, but I feel it still
Good afternoon from Central Florida. I hope your day is going well. Busy day already for me. Released a cat that I took to TNR. Big boy, over 13 pounds.
Then we did a 10 mile bike ride. Finally, got to Wordle.

Par today. And you?

Good morning. Been up and out already, taking a feral cat in for TNR. You can see the ferals and my cats.

Meanwhile, a birdie in Wordle.

You say you play a bit of guitar. Same here. A few chords, no sense of rhythm , and can't sing. But I enjoy it.

Had a birthday last month. One of my sons surprised me with this Ovation. Plays like a dream.

I think the cats are even happier than I am to get out of Michigan for the cold and gray months.

Cold snap is over. Got to 75 today. And the local feral cats remember us. Last winter I took 6 in for TNVR.

And 1 day later. &$@#! Leaves.
November 7, 2025 at 4:16 PM
Since I know you all are curious about the leaves, here's the backyard. Pictures taken at intervals of about 1 hour.

We went to Carlsbad Caverns National Park anyway to hit some hiking trails. We wanted to at least say we were there. Unfortunately, it's gated shut.

We did visit Guadalupe NP.

"Beep beep"

A Road Runner watches me walk by, checking to see if I have explosives or other fine products from the Acme Corporation.

Greetings from Terlingua TX. Cool clear morning, with a warm day ahead. At the Reo Grande yesterday. Mexico is to the right in this picture.

My first 2 words set me up for a tap-in birdie on my 1200th game.

On the first leg of my flight, before Texas. Approaching Atlanta.

Good morning from a chilly SE Mitten. I foresee a day of gathering leaves. Picture of my back yard from a previous year. I am trying to stay ahead of the curve.

Meanwhile I managed par in Wordle.

Here's a couple pictures of me on the course. One of them is about 30 minutes into the run. The other is about 2 hours.

Those of you with keen observational skills can probably figure out which is which.

Meanwhile, my son ran his first marathon.
Official times: 3:46:59 (8:40 min/mi)
October 20, 2025 at 4:05 PM
Waiting for the start with 26,000 runners. Went over the Ambassador Bridge to Canada, ran an underwater mile in the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel.

Official time of 2:49:38, 12:57 min/mi

At the 10 mile mark, my average pace was 13:23. Ran the last 10 K at 11:34 pace
October 20, 2025 at 3:57 PM
Wet and windy.

My wife is wonderful. She lets me go out running around.

Good Monday Moanin from the NE Mitten. Got out of the Mitten yesterday, crossed the bridge into the UP.

I want to thank my second word for doing the heavy lifting, enabling the birdie.

I'm sure you all wanted to see the results of my hard work.
Here it is in all its glory.

Take it to the limit
One more time.

You're into cats? I was cutting some rigid insulation yesterday and the inspector came by to check the measurements.

I'll be skirting Chicago in about 5 or 6 days on our way back to the Mitten.

We're now in South Dakota. BB King and Lucille have now been in 15 states. Pic of them from last year.

@bnunneker.bsky.social Not an FSU fan but after what they did last weekend, go 'Noles!

Visited the campus back in 2022.

Got out for a bike ride, haven't done that in a while. The Omaha Bike Trail isn't near Omaha but Fort Douglas WI.
August 29, 2025 at 12:30 PM
I checked with BB and Lucille.
They said that cats rule and dogs drool.
August 26, 2025 at 2:13 PM
Managed to get out for 4.2 miles, slow pace. Cooling down in the backyard with a cup of coffee and my friends.
