Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (126714) • Gainesville, Florida 9 Dec

I'm so excited for this coming Saturday, as I will be taking my girlfriend to Orlando to see the Trans Siberian Orchestra in concert. All shows in Florida sold out pretty quickly, but thankfully I was able to grab us a couple of...

Now that Thanksgiving is over (US holiday), we finally head into my favorite time of year. The Christmas season you ask? Well, sort of. I do love Christmas, but it's more than that. I just love the lights and decorations that are...

She's a Better Shot Than Me!

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (126714) • Gainesville, Florida 5 Dec

In my last discussion I wrote about a mishap I had at the shooting range when I removed my flash suppressor off of the barrel of my semi-automatic rifle. The result was that I singed all the hair off my arms. Luckily, that was the...

Careful, You'll Burn Yourself!

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (126714) • Gainesville, Florida 2 Dec

Leave it to me to always find a way to do something stupid that almost gets me killed. Or, in this case, burned. Last weekend, my girlfriend wanted to go out to the shooting range to practice shooting her new 9mm pistol (an...

A Morning Surprise

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (126714) • Gainesville, Florida 15 Nov

A few mornings ago, as I was sitting in my kitchen enjoying a cup of hot coffee, I heard a very loud and distinct cry of a bird of prey. And VERY close. I immediately jumped up, went out the French doors to my back patio, and saw...

How Far Would You Drive to Visit Your Favorite Business?

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (126714) • Gainesville, Florida 14 Nov

I saw this on social media the other day, and had a really good laugh about it. I shared it with my two kids, both of whom said, "Yeah, we would do that!" I love me some Buc-ees! And unfortunately, there isn't a lot of them and...

Nature is Cool

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (126714) • Gainesville, Florida 7 Nov

Nature never ceases to amaze me. And the beauty of it is all around us, if we just take the time to look. And in my case, it was a matter of looking up. I saw this beauty of a cloud driving to work the other morning. I call it a...

One of the things I love about where I work is that we are always celebrating holidays and other milestones throughout the year (birthdays, anniversaries, national days, etc). So, of course, with today being Halloween, we couldn't...

Ahoy, Maties!

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (126714) • Gainesville, Florida 10 Oct

My, how times are changing. When the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World opened in 1971, alcohol of any type was strictly taboo. Walt Disney himself wanted the Magic Kingdom to be as family-friendly as possible, and in his view...

Breaking in the New Truck

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (126714) • Gainesville, Florida 19 Sep

My son recently bought a new truck, a Ford Ranger 4-wheel drive that has just about all the upgrades you can get. He pretty much paid as much for his truck as I did for my SuperCrew F-150 many years ago. Pretty crazy how expensive...

Puzzles

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (126714) • Gainesville, Florida 15 Aug

When I was a child, one of my favorite things to do when visiting my grandmother was to put together jigsaw puzzles. It seemed we always had a puzzle to work on, and I can remember spending hours talking to her as we put together...
