The Rest of 2025
After SIdepony, we kept busy in November and December. We went to the Bone Dry Taphouse a couple times for music bingo. It is not challenging, but it is fun and they have good pizza and the best tap list in town. We joined the Huachuca Art Association and took advantage of the open studio…

Sidepony 12 (part two)
Saturday Saturday started with a walk to the High Desert Market for a tasty and filling breakfast. There was not much happening in the morning. We went to the Grassy Park and listened to Ben Anderson for a moment and did a little shopping. At 11:00 we walked to the Badassery and stood on the…

The rest of October 2025
Our new place was still pretty empty. We shopped all the thrift and antique stores including D’s Furniture, St Vincent dePaul, Goodwill, Hidden Treasure Mall, Rocking Horse Antique Mall, Arizona Trading, Sorted Past, BZB Consignment, Bitchin Pickens, and the Bargain Barn of Palominas. We also visited most of the big box stores including Lowe’s, Walmart,…

Cactus Point
I was moving a little slow on Saturday morning. A few days on the road had taken its toll. But some sweet French toast at the Cantina in the Hotel Encanto helped get me going. We had four hours of driving left to get us to Sierra Vista. We made a stop right outside of…

Roswell & Las Cruces
We started our morning with a quick stop at Cadillac Ranch. It is weird, and tourist trap, and covered is spray paint, but I am glad we stopped. We headed southwest. I had researched Bandolero Brewery in Clovis, New Mexico. They opened at 11:00am and the menu looked good. Our route would get us there…

Tulsa Guthrie Amarillo
One of the reasons we stopped in Tulsa was to see the Jay Farrar/Son Volt exhibit at the Woody Guthrie Center. The Woody Guthrie Center doesn’t open until 10:00am so we had a little time to sleep in. We got ready and walked to the Chimera Cafe. Karla had a tasty breakfast taco and latte,…

Ankeny Liberty Tulsa
After a quick hotel breakfast in Ankeny, we packed up and continued south. We stopped for some gas just south of Des Moines, and continued to Liberty Missouri, a northern suburb of Kansas City. We stopped at 3 Halves Brewing for some lunch and a beer. Karla had the tasty lunch special tacos with smoked…

Pine Point to Ankeny
On the road again. The first day was a long day. We started early with closing up Pine Point. We drained the water from the cabin and winterized the pipes. We finished packing the truck. We couldn’t fit everything we wanted to bring to Cactus Point, but we did a good job of packing and…

September 2025
(and a little October) After our friend Ben left, we did not have any big events in September. We worked on projects, went for walks, went on pontoon rides, and got together with family for happy hour and to watch football. I finished my cabinet work for the year. I still have some more to…
