Happy Blog Day, 2000 Postings Or So

Yeah so I might be a day or two early on this.

There are a couple posts already in the chamber so I'll do this today.

2000 postings.  The blog has been around for a while.  Who knows how much longer.  Basically as long as I have ideas, I'll post them.

A view inside my empty head about this though.  I make it a point to not strictly "Reblog" things.  Copy and paste.   If I do something, the recipes are an excellent example, I try my best to add to them and explain how I did it.

Otherwise it's just navel gazing and narcisistic.

But, people do love those recipes.

I have a small "first read" audience.   I haven't been posting it in my own facebook feed because frankly that sort of thing gets boring.  I have a group with some people who wanted to be a part of it.  They'll get my blather and a direct link to today's article.

The "second read" audience fall into my grasp mainly via Google and other search engines.

That shows in what the top five articles are for the blog since I started.

And I do try very hard not to revisit topics unless I can add something to it.  I got something wrong?  Time for a new post.  Got something right?  Let it rest.  Dunno, maybe that's just the way I am

The Gold Medal Biscuit recipe.  Apparently people are searching for biscuits and coming here to read the recipe.  Probably the best biscuit I have ever made.  The secret is in the butter.  Now, if you want to make something obscene, toss a biscuit in the skillet and pan fry them like a donut.


Mmmm Donuts!


Two Cycle Engine Repair.  Say what you will about this blog, I've got depth.  If I can write about replacing the bulb on a string trimmer one day, a recipe the next, and photography the third... well you get the idea.  I'm That Guy.  Show me an adult man who doesn't at least glance at the pile of crap your neighbor tosses out and wonders if he can fix that thing, and I'll show you a man who has lost his soul.

That goes for many women I know too.

Simply Hired User Experience.  Believe it or not, people get paid quite a lot to do this sort of systems analysis and user experience analysis on large websites.  In the case of Simply Hired, they changed their format.  It still stinks.  Maybe I will write another blog article on how clunky it is now that they reskinned it to look all "kewl!".

Or not.

The Impatiens Picture.  I do a lot of Photography.  Or you could say I do a lot of what passes for Photography if you're a hack at it.  No matter what you think of how well, or how badly I take pictures, this single picture is the most popular one here in Ramblingmoose and http://www.southernmostmoose.com 

I have been told that all of the small Impatiens have died.  Literally, everywhere.  The same flower exists but they're a taller variety.  The little ones everyone loved?  Gone.

And finally, rounding out my top five:

The Jewfish Bridge picture in the Florida Keys. This is the first "real" bridge you hit when you're going to the Keys.  It's dramatic and a beautiful view.  It's really difficult to not get a picture that you will like.  Then you roll into Key Largo and start about 100 miles worth of driving in slower highways before you get to Key West.  My suggestion is to time it to hit the Seven Mile Bridge at sunset in a convertible. 

No, you may not borrow my Jeep.

That's it for today.  Enough navel gazing.  I don't have any oranges left.

As for how much longer will I keep doing this?  As long as I have time, ideas, and things I think may be interesting to my friends and family.  I don't guarantee it will go on forever.  I don't even guarantee it will happen tomorrow, after all I did  miss a day once. 

One Single Day.

If you really do enjoy this, feel free to complement me.  If you've got an idea for a topic, let me know.  If it sparks my curiosity, I'll write about it.

Like the jokes.  The "first read" audience generally does not like my jokes.  Guess what?  They're popular.  The number 7 article is about Puns and One Liners.

So I'll keep posting those on the weekends for now.  If I get a better idea, then I can always push the jokes off for a day!
