  • Thoughts on Down Time Activities for Land Survey Technicians

    Thoughts on Down Time Activities for Land Survey Technicians

    I was just thinking about the old-time land survey crews. When I was getting on the job training as a survey technician, the typical land survey crews were at least 2-3 persons. One rodman, one instrument man, and a crew chief who organized the job, which could be property or construction jobs. Nowadays, you get…

  • This is National Scrabble Day

    This is National Scrabble Day

    I almost forgot that April 13 is National Scrabble Day. I don’t think I’ve ever blogged about it before, so I’ll inflict some thoughts on you now about it and add some others about International Cribbage Day, which is on February 10 annually—and which I evidently tend to forget every year. The big news about…

  • Cribbage Pro Computer Game Demo on Brutal Level!

    Cribbage Pro Computer Game Demo on Brutal Level!

    Sena and I enjoy cribbage. I sometimes practice using computer games. You might remember my video about Cribbage Classic last year. The other day I did a demonstration of gameplay on another game called Cribbage Pro. The developer is Fuller Systems, Inc. It has 3 levels of difficulty: Standard (which you might call easy); Challenging;…

  • Jim on a Winning Streak on the Bigfoot Cribbage Board

    Jim on a Winning Streak on the Bigfoot Cribbage Board

    Ever since we got the Bigfoot cribbage board, I’ve been winning. If you believe in lucky streaks, I’m on one. However, Sena wins most of the time when we play on the jumbo cribbage board. Is it the Bigfoot cards? Is it the Bigfoot pajamas? Sena was so overwhelmed she put her house slippers on…

  • Jim Learns About Induction Cooktops

    Jim Learns About Induction Cooktops

    I’m learning about induction cooktops. I know I’m way late in the game. The house we bought a little over two and a half years ago came with an induction cooktop. It’s the first one we ever had; we always used gas or electric stoves. The main topic here are the noises including clicking noises…

    Christmas Day 2022 Antics!

    Christmas Day at our house was a lot of fun. I got a coffee mug that specifies the importance of cribbage. Sena got a throw that sort of complements the throw she got me on our anniversary. Those throws add a lot to the ambience in the room. And the coffee mug really speaks to…

  • Is That Patty on Our Sasquatch Cribbage Board?

    Is That Patty on Our Sasquatch Cribbage Board?

    Sena wondered if anybody ever talks about female Sasquatch creatures. That reminded me that our Sasquatch cribbage board has an image of Bigfoot that looks familiar. I looked up the Patterson-Gimlin video on YouTube. The creature caught on video has been called Patty. If you compare Patty in the video with the image carved into…

    Announcements!

    Today, I almost got a 29-hand playing cribbage with Sena. Almost is kind of like a fish story about the one that got away. I got dealt a Jack of hearts, and 3 fives, the heart, club, and diamond. If the Jack of heart had been in my hand and the 5 of hearts had…
