Not quite spring yet…

It's been a cold and wet winter here in Delta compared to normal. For us it's still a lot milder than Meeker and we are enjoying it daily. We get a lot of light snow that melts off the same day. The temps are normally well into the 40's by now but...

I've recently returned from testifying in the NCT case and it reminds me why I was happy to leave the legal arena. For the last three years I have steadfastly tried to guide NCT forward for the benefit of the creditors, local community and ultimate new...

Everyone seems to get butt-hurt so easily these days. At least the Irish don't get offended easily. I don't see them demanding that Lucky Charms change their name or stop using the diminutive supernatural being in Irish folklore, the beloved leprechaun.

We finally moved from the house in Meeker , we stayed there wishing we had something larger for almost 6 years. Although we put a lot into it by adding outbuildings and recently built a barn/shop, it has always not quite met our needs somehow. The land was hilly,...

I've been having battery issues with my bike for the last month or so. When I hit a hard bump it just shuts down, no display or power. I discovered that I can get it active again by banging on the side of the battery, suggesting that something is disconnecting inside....

Sandi and the geese get along great. They sit in her lap and peck lightly at her rings and bracelet as she pets them. After a bit they quiet down and just relax and poop on her LOL.
