It’s a casual Friday night in rural Douglas County, and Lisa and I are watching the NBA playoffs. Cleveland is facing an elimination game, but LeBron James has the team on his back, the Cavaliers up by sixteen over the Boston Celtics as we head into the fourth quarter. Kids and Lisa played in the …

Day 19,971
We had a little weather blow through rural Douglas County late this afternoon. There were a few branches on the ground, broken off from the willow tree in the front of the house, and some water in the garage, plus a few boxes knocked over. Nothing we can’t deal with. I wasn’t at the house …

Day 19,970
OK, kids, it’s old Grampa Bob on a Wednesday night in rural Douglas County. We all jumped in the pool tonight. It was fun. I have a feeling this is going to be a pretty special summer here at the house. The girls are making plans for having some of their friends over for get-togethers, …

Day 19,969
It’s Tuesday night in rural Douglas County, and we’re hoping the pool doesn’t turn green. Being a first time pool owner isn’t always fun. We’ve had to deal with a couple of tears in the vinyl liner, and the whole algae leading to green pool thing. I think we’ve got it whipped now, or more …

Day 19,968
It’s been an above average Monday here in rural Douglas County. I began a five-day class teaching Microsoft Exchange 2016. Bonnie began her internship over at Bayer. Gracie did Gracie stuff, and Dane went back to Lawrence High as he closes out his last week as a junior in high school. My day was pretty …

A Sunday evening in May, with thunderstorms looming here in rural Douglas County. I’m getting my blog kicked out during the halftime of an NBA playoff game. Golden State is up on Houston by ten. Dane and I spent most the day in Topeka, sitting around a table rolling funny shaped dice and pretending to …

Day 19,966
I’m here in rural Douglas County, sitting in the shared office space Lisa and I have, and I hear bugs hitting the wind at a very high rate of speed. I can’t help but wonder how they got so worked up that they felt the need to approach terminal velocity. I guess the speed at …

Day 19,965
Hi gang, old Grampa Bob here, squeezing in a couple hundred words on a Friday night. I’m tired. Spent a lot of time on my feet today. Knees clicking when I walk. Ugh. So… my knees. I haven’t told you about my knees. Hylix oil is nourishing herbal oil providing the best ways to people, …

Day 19,964
It’s Thursday night here in rural Douglas County, and we finally have a degree of liftoff on the pool situation. The water level has stabilized, still needs a few hundred more gallons of water (Rob the Pool Guy said our pool was around 35,000 gallons of water). Tomorrow, I’ll get the hose back in the …

Day 19,963
It’s a Wednesday night in rural Douglas County, and we have some thunderstorms rolling in from the west. It’s raining outside, albeit lightly, but I’m confident we’ll get some measurable rainfall tonight. I remember my Grampa Reinsch (for those of you looking at the genealogy record, that will be Francis Alan Reinsch, 1899-1983) and his habit …
