Is it happy hour yet?
An adventure Blog
By two people who keep stumbling into things.
Because things rarely go according to plan.
People
We certainly do meet some interesting people. You might like to meet them, too.
The Unhappiest Happy Hour
On the day you’ve said good-bye to your good boy, happy hour isn’t happy at…
Hey, I Think That’s My Old Truck
What are the odds of buying a 20-year-old truck and then randomly meeting the people who bought it brand new?
You’ve Got Mail
Mail and packages don’t simply end up on your doorstep. Because your doorstep is always changing.
An Inverse Manhattan
We tried to be open minded about the drinks, tried to enjoy them, tried to think of the experience as another adventure in travel.
Places
We’re fortunate to have been able to travel to some amazing places. Here are a few of them.
Three Chickens and a Lawyer
Ensenada is a tourist port so the locals generally speak English well. But Leslie was intent on speaking Spanish and not being a gringa tourist expecting conversations in English.
Turmoil in the Big House

Great Basin Gets a Do-Over

It was late and we needed to figure out our endgame for the day’s travel. But we’d done a poor job of route planning.
Provisions
Food and drink. Two of the best things about life.
We like to eat. And we do enjoy an adult beverage now and again.
Baby, You Got a Stew Goin’

The stuff we use. Most of it works pretty well. Some of it we can’t wait to get rid of.
Satellites and Credit Cards
We seem to have discovered a very unexpected similarity between tracking credit card fraud and tracking our whereabouts.
Mouse Wars
We assessed the damage before making the trek to the nearest town to figure out how we could put an end to the problem. We secured sturdy bins, more traps, and peppermint rodent repellents.
Stories
All the stories that don’t fit neatly into a box.
Best heard around a fire, with a tasty beverage, and a charming companion.
We’re not sure where we’re going, but we’ll know when we get there.
