Testing out BlogPress from my iPhone

I thought I'd test out this new-to-me BlogPress app. I like the idea of being able to write here while "on the road". I'm also glad that you can post in landscape mode, which isn't obvious at first glance.

Some of the app reviews talked about formatting issues too. Especially when adding in images. I'll test that too.




Here's a picture I took this morning of one of my most favorite things ever, an eggnog latte. Uncut Alpenrose eggnog and Sweet Maria's New Classic Espresso Blend roasted to Full City+. There will be a second one made and consumed this morning :-)

Using this thing more.......

No, this is not a New Year's resolution, just something that has been on my mind as of late.  I feel like I've been gradually losing what little(in my mind) coherent writing ability I had.  I think I'm in one of those use it or lose it situations.

So, I think I'm going to focus most of my blogging here on the projects I have started and the ones I will be starting, not just on random thoughts I have.  My postings will be for both for posterity and, in the case of one of them, so I can repeat the process.

The big things I have on my list right now are:

  • Building up the 1964 Vespa VBB and P125X engine.
  • Redoing the fire pit in the back yard based upon the instructions here.
  • Building a few Adirondack chairs to go around the above listed fire pit, based on the plans here.


There are others, but those are the big ones for me right now.  The latter two are decently easy to pick off if I'm going for the low hanging fruit.
