Visiting Joey at the Restaurant
Joey’s Restaurant This post is called Joey’s restaurant, and it’s about Joey, and the restaurant, but Joey’s Restaurant is not the name of the restaurant, that’s just the name of the post, and that’s why I call the post, Joey’s Restaurant.
Ed Joins the 21st Century
About 10 years after they hit the market, I got my first CD player, and this week, I came home with my first MP3 player. My MP3 CDs are getting a bit worn out, and rather than re-burn them, I thought that an MP3 device would be a good choice. I can use this in [...]
Greenbergs have left the building!
Well, that’s it. We turned in the keys today. We are now officially homeless (?) The dump got over 6,000 pounds (three TONS) ofjunk. Hats off to Cheap Hauling, for hauling the stuff away. We’ll be here in Santa Clara Elks for the weekend, then back to Morgan Hill TTN for a few weeks.
Morgan Hill, CA
Since leaving Monterey, we’ve been in Morgan Hill. We’re clearing out our apartment, preparatory to going full time in the trailer. So far, I’ve packed and donated eight boxes of books and moved a bunch of stuff to the trailer. I have two restaurant recommendations to post: Cafe San Jose, 1583 Meridian Avenue, San Jose, [...]
R V having fun yet?
Sorry to have missed a week of travel. I thought I had posted from our previous stop, but I see I did not. I have a few mailing lists that receive postings as we travel, and sometimes I forget what we post where. The weekend in Santa Barbara was very good, if soggy. We celebrated [...]
We are still above water!
On Thursday night, after Encounters, we went back to our trailer at the Westchester Elks Lodge, expecting it to start raining. We were surprised when it didn’t. Encounters is an interesting experience. It is supposed to feel like you are dining in a flying saucer, floating above LAX. In fact, the food and service were [...]
Lots of stuff
First, a tip of the customer service hat to Sonny’s RV, which got me into the shop and fixed my jacks and my leak. Second, a doff of the hat to Bellew’s Hitch in Tacoma for a fine job on hitch and mirrors. In other news, we moved again… from Escapees Evergreen Coho Park over [...]
Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad
We took a ride on the Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad. This small tourist railroad runs on old Milwaukee Road tracks from Elbe, WA to Morton, WA. We rode a train of three passenger cars pulled by #17, built in 1929. They sell cab rides. Shown below are the customers boarding the cab of the locomotive. [...]
Bob Franke at the Matrix Coffee House
We fell in on acoustic music last night. The Matrix Coffeehouse, a local venue here in Chehalis, WA, had Bob Franke in for a concert. Bob is a singer-songwriter that I’ve heard on XM Radio a bunch. He did about 15 songs in two sets including “Hard Love” and “Alleluia, the Great Storm is Over.” [...]
My Linux Laptop
[See update at the bottom of this post.] I got a question today about my Linux laptop, so I decided to write about it here. About six months ago, I got a Dell Latitude D820 with a Dual Core 2.3GHz processor. It has 2 GB memory and an 80 GB SATA disk, turning at 7200 [...]
