Unraveling the Life of Jonathan

I don’t know why, but for some reason I started thinking about what would be the perfect meal for me? – My favorite dishes … What would I order as a last meal? I would start with Broiled beefsteak tomatoes; a take on insalata caprese.  Large tomatoes filled with parmigiano reggiano and fresh mozzarella and basil […]

I had a wonderful time in Hawaii last week.  I didn’t plan a lot of activities, but had plenty of fun at the beach, swimming pool, riding ATVs, and visiting Pearl Harbor.  I also caught the wyoming football game while I was there.    More photos from my trip are available in the Hawaii 2014 […]

Summer has finally begun in Laramie.  My garden is planted and i’ve been enjoying my new deck – I never mentioned it but I had a deck built last fall.  I love sitting outside and enjoying the near perfect weather of summer in Laradise.  I received my vanity call sign.  I’m now K2JDR on ham radio. […]

I go way to long without posting these days… Anyway I passed the test for both the technician class and general class and got my amateur radio license.  Right now my call sign is KG7JLI, however I hope to get a vanity call sign soon.  I picked out several and filed the paperwork with the FCC. […]

I guess I haven’t posted in a while.  Summer was good.  I planted some fruit trees, and had one peach and two cherries.  My onions grew very well this year and I have lots of them.  I have lots of carrots too.  They are good, but not as good as two years ago.  I tried […]

I guess I’ve kind of forgotten to post on by blog for a while.  Lots of things have transpired, but I probably won’t cover them all. My grandmother passed away a few weeks ago.  The funeral service was very good.  Afterward we went to the Sage Brush to buy candy to see if she really […]

For some reason I was rembering an experience I had when I was younger and camping with my dad and his brother Steven. We were backpacking and camping in the high Uintas in Utah in an area we refer to as “The Lakes”. Uncle Steve was making macaroni and cheese, and I was excited and […]

It took over 4 months to make, but it tasted pretty good.  I made my first pumkin pie with a pumpkin I grew myself.  The pictures can be enjoyed in the photo gallery.  

March is perhaps the greatest month for sports.  Spring training is underway, the NHL and NBA are finishing up the last months of their season, and college basketball is everywhere.  This last week there were exciting games on every night and almost every team in college basketball still had a chance, even if very small, […]

I have been asked by several people to share my opinions about my new Kindle Fire so I decided to write my short review here so I can drive traffic to my blog.  I had an ipad that I occasionally used, but most of the time I found the ipad to big.  I didn’t want […]
