Just a fun loving guy who’s interested in technology, passionate about family, and a follower of Christ. The blog started a long time ago when we were family camping and I had an experience with one of my sons that made me realize how fast time is going by, hence the title, Tempus Fugit. I Read More ...

Ok, the fun of doing something new and crazy, eating keto, is wearing off. In fact I’m having a major “cheat” moment with a raspberry scon at Starbucks! First bread with n two weeks. Need to stay strong. Got to get some more varied “go to” recipes / foods. Bacon and eggs is fun for Read More …
The Keto saga deepens. Bulletproof coffee is now a daily routine and I’m enjoying it! Actually, after you push by the idea of drinking butter, it’s very good. Today’s breakfast (sorry no pictures) eaten after 11am as per the program, was three scrambled eggs and 1/2 a tin of sardines in olive oil! I like Read More …
My 1st attempt at a more sophisticated pumpkin carving as opposed to the basic scarey face.
Well, hopefully not too crazy, but I’m getting into the Ketogenic Diet and doing a lot of reading, listening & research in general.

A lot of controversy about WordPress 5.0 going to the Gutenberg editor and the block concept, but I’ve taken the plunge and installed the editor on both my blogs in a current but pre-5.0 version of WordPress.

Last Wednesday it was warm, sunny and calm as Shirley and I went out so when we didn’t catch anything we Read More …
I came across this PetaPixel article on using Plumber’s Tape as a Cheap Way to White Balance Photos. Sounded like a good idea so I gave it a try. Here are my findings, you mileage may vary. Three pictures all taken with the Canon 7D on a tripod with shutter release, same exposure & lighting. Read More …
It’s a calm day at the lake with a sun/cloud mix that is quite pleasant with temperatures in the low 20°Cs. A perfect day for some boating and fishing! After picking up some minnows and catching up a bit with Al of Smith Camps I’m back at the dock picking up Shirley and we head Read More …
