Throwback 2019! Like most 70-year-olds I know Hogdaddy wanted to go ziplining for his birthday?!? He did go too…and invited all of us to come along. We met in Louisville, KY at Mega Cavern. It is an old limestone mine and is actually classified as the largest ‘building’ in Kentucky. There are 17 miles of …

Emily and I got up early one morning and drove up from Santa Fe, NM to Valles Caldera National Preserve. We took a quick hike and drove through this massive volcano valley. It wasn’t a long hike but it was a beautiful one. The sunrise combined with the valley being filled with fog made the …

I got to meet my investing idol and one of the nicest guys around, Preston Pysh. I was in full fanboy mode (but also tried to remain cool). “Be cool Joey…be cool!” My son (also Preston) went with me to Peter McCormack’s “What Bitcoin Did” live podcast episode in Nashville (with guest Preston Pysh and …
On our visit to Santa Fe, New Mexico we drove up to Los Alamos to visit the Manhattan Project National Historical Park. This was a bust! COVID had the operating schedule fouled up and we didn’t get to see a lot. We completely salvaged the day, however, when we stopped at our next stop, Tsankawi …
THROWBACK 2019! Emily was babysitting and they were going to the zoo. I hadn’t been to the Nashville Zoo in a while so I used it as an excuse to go be a kid. While there I contemplated which animal I might want to be. Hmmm!?!?

I used to go to this show with my granddad and cousins when I was little. I’ve not had my John Deere at the TN KY Thresherman’s Show since I was in high school (in the late 80s). Since that time I’ve restored the tractor my grandfather gave me (watch that video too). I’ve had …

I found myself repeating a rant of many days past during my recent squirrel war saga. A house is not an investment. I will die on this hill! I’m thankful for much in my life…including having a home to live in. Regardless, that doesn’t stop me from STRONGLY disliking my home…A…LOT!!! Since selling our house …
I love being a homeowner?!? I’ll save my rant on that for a later time! I’ve been at war with a squirrel army since we moved into our condo in 2018. They are under the impression that my attic is their home. They are unpaying renters! I successfully caught one last year and relocated him …
We visited Henry Horton State Park, near Chapel Hill, TN. Our main goal was to kayak on the Duck River (which runs right through the state park). We soon learned the locals call it the Dirty Duck…even though it isn’t dirty at all?!? Weird?!?. We also explored the Tennessee humidity on bikes (as well as …
