The holiday season starts with Winslow’s annual Christmas Parade I’m told, “Everyone should experience Winslow’s Christmas parade once.” It’s true because for a few hours the people of Winslow demonstrate what a successful community is all about. First of all, it’s diverse by default. Participation is open to everyone and there’s no registration fee. You…
Winslow Window Photos While sorting old photos and a few recent ones sent to us by friends visiting Winslow, we stumbled on a bunch of old ones from FB & IG. Here are a few window shots from before paint and trim work, back when Aiden and Ava were little kids! If you have photos…
Life on the Free Range According to the pictures found on egg cartons, Free Range chickens are happier. So why not humans? It turns out we are. September twenty-ninth marks the one year anniversary of our vagabond lifestyle and we like it! Vagabond chickens are right. The plan was to settle somewhere within a month of…
Route 66 and I-40 to Winslow I made it to Ludlow in time for breakfast, fueled up and arrived in Winslow around by 1:30. The weather was perfect as I trailed thunderstorms across the Deserts and Plateaus, catching a smaller one outside Flagstaff. Tasty Ham Steak from the Ludlow Cafe Roy’s was busy with a…
Today is our 15th Anniversary! Happy Anniversary Lori! Yesterday was nice too Lori took the truck to her parents so I hitched a ride from the motel with “Stoney” (a tile man working on the soon to be Soda Fountain across from us). The mornings have been cool and calm and at 7:00 tourists trickle…
Seligman! We scored again at Snow-Cap! Last summer’s rooftop show with John Delgadillo’s band was followed up with a performance by Angel’s band. Seligman is one of the best stops on Route 66, the Delgadillo family makes sure everyone has a good time. Angel is the person credited with organizing the movement to save Route…
Not Much Work Here We spent this weekend visiting with friends and running dead-end errands. I stopped working on Baby Monday when I ran out of parts and discovered Lori left with the truck keys in her pocket. I used the time to play around with my camera. Old stuff Baby seems pretty excited about…
Dickies 1922 Heritage Jeans We got our hands on some Dickies jeans from their Heritage collection. These jeans are made at the Dickies work shop in New Braunfels Texas of Cone Mills White Oak denim. The White Oak plant in North Carolina was built by Cone Mills in 1905 and they weave selvage denim on…
Shop time with the YZ80 Finished stripping the YZ80 chassis and will split the cases tomorrow. So far other than the oil pump mess it seems solid. I’m going to go ahead and bore the cylinder and go one up on the piston. Drilling more screws out. More cleaning, it still needs a few more…
Lori’s learning to be a goat farmer by starting seedlings in egg shells. When they sprout she’ll plant them in pots on the balcony off our breakfast room. She got the idea from friends who checked out of So-Cal and are living the dream somewhere in the Oregon Sticks. You can follow their adventures here.…
Rin Tanaka of “My Freedamn” fame pulled off his move from the Queen Mary to the Spruce Goose Dome next door without a hitch. The content and enthusiasm of Inspiration participants makes this show. Rin could host his show in a Wal Mart and it would be a big success. Rin Tanaka signing my Schott…
