The Codgers

It’s a wet Saint Paul morning here, safe and sound, on Boomer’s back porch, the temperature is a seasonal +44F, as Med & I enjoy our (January Edition) porcelain, not China (but made in China) Codger Collectible™ Mugs (have I mentioned the spiffy March Edition is still available?) full of hot org...

This morning, just as I was about to regale you with my "getting to know you" road trip of Wednesday, I heard a gentle knock on my door-at 3:15 am CST! I wisely, took a peek through the kitchen window-it was Carl."C'mon Jay," Carl said with a bigass grin spread across his face, "we got ta' get go...

It was a cool 48ºF, and had been raining (we need the rain) as I walked out to my garage, this fine, cloudy Saint Paul morning (our heat wave was of the one-day variety, we’re back to late-March normal temperatures), to engage the services of my new travelin’ companion” for our trip to the coffe...

I stopped here at Boomer’s on my way home from purchasing my new (used) car, in hopes of finding Boomer, and telling him the news (so how come an old coot like me still gets excited about these things? Go figure), I purchased a new Travelin’ Buddy! Realtor®-Broker Teresa was home—and of course—s...

Yesterday it reached 81ºF, signaling a major change here in Old Saint Paul. The change was not limited to the weather—I sold my old ’52 Ford pick-up! My “friend” of nearly 55 years now belongs to someone else! I purchased it in January of 1953, drove it regularly for five years, and when I purch...

…it probably is! As Medford & I made our way to the Cyber Café for our meeting of our fellow Codgers, we were enjoying the 52ºF St. Paul morning. The expected high for today (a March heat-wave) under a partly cloudy sky is 72ºF!  We also enjoyed listening to the chorus of song-birds and their sp...

Good Morning Gentle Readers! It is nearly 60F here this fine St. Paul morning. Coffee's on, settle back, and take a peek at how our graphics have changed over time. This is a Sunday series of two posts detailing the changes over time, and of necessity of our "Cyber Café" and "Back Porch" graphics...

This is the second of two posts this morning giving the history of Codger Graphics. Here we present the development of our “Back Porch” graphics.    November 19th 2006 “Jay’s Back Porch” Full size          November 19th 2006 “Jay’s Back Porch” Close up. Both designed for the “Reflections from my ...

 This post is for some very special fans of Daisy, the long-legged Beagle, the Cooper Kids!  So today you will learn what went on with the dog-people while we were visiting. I guess those wily creatures, especially that bad Daisy, require a little more supervision than we thought.We present to ou...

This fine Saint Paul Friday morning the old replica “Pruett’s Pig Powders” thermometer tells us it is +39ºF, with no wind, making it feel like +39ºF, as we linger on the back porch a moment or two, enjoying our (January Edition) porcelain, not China (but made in China) Codger Collectible™ Mugs (...
