It’s that time of year to take account of My Desultory Blog life

December 2024 Milestone of 8400 postsPart of me wonders why I continue to post “something” … “anything” … on the MDB pages everyday? Perhaps it is habit or an addictive obsession, but then again I can’t tell you how many times I’ve used it as a way to track my family life as a timeline.

As the years roll by (I started blogging in 2005), the posts have become more personal and reflect and record  moments and events. Still, I tend to fill space and empty days with odds and ends fillers … and with whatever “desultory” thoughts that are on my mind.

Hopefully those who regularly check in are not deterred from visiting again and have learned to put up with the odds things that have filled up my life for almost 20 years of blogging.

The phases over time are somewhat sentimental  to me … but here’s the short list of what topics have interested me:

  1. Cars and in particular small Volkswagen TDI diesels
  2. Aviation, the experimental aircraft building (EAA
  3. Biodiesel and homebrewing recycled cooking oil 
  4. Printing, publishing, sales and business while phasing out my work life
  5. Reading, books, history and topics of interest
  6. Entertainment, movies and of course music
  7. Kids, Family, School, College, Weddings, Funerals and milestones
  8. Sailing, hiking, backpacking, vacations and recreation
  9. Faith, Politics and life advice
  10. Hobbies, photography, workshop tools and woodworking
  11. The general news of the day an miscellaneous thoughts
  12. And to make this list an even dozen: Computers, smartphones and technology

For the email asking about the discrepancy between the two images above,
the 8400 vs 8415 reflects posts that are in the works and have not posted.
