Despite the inactivity here on the site, we did indeed celebrate both Christmas and New Years. Matt, Brandy and the boys arrived on Christmas afternoon, followed shortly thereafter by Jeff and Leta. We enjoyed a fantastic Prime Rib dinner and were joined by Jim and...

Had a long phone conversation with an old friend from Mustang Software yesterday. We hadn't talked for years and years. It was fun catching up on things and seeing the changes in our respective lives. I'll have to devote some time and energy into renewing those...

Getting settled in

Believe it or not, we are still unpacking stuff. I worked all day in the garage today and didn't make a dent. A few weeks ago I did get my weather station installed and it is operating with almost all features enabled. I still have to hang the lightning detector,...

We keep a old metal drum in the shed area to burn cardboard and other large paper trash items. It gets fired up about every two weeks and saves s space in the single trash container that we put out for collection. It always makes me feel like a sterno bum when I fire...

I can't tell what this statue is all about. Is she being arrested and going to get frisked? Or is she preparing for position 78 in the Kama Sutra?

We have a new baby!

After waiting 11 months we finally have our new baby pony. Even before leaving California we tried to get Zanna pregnant but had little success with artificial insemination. The original stud just didn't have good swimmers I guess. Well, last summer we...

The Great American Bacon Race!

by Rick | Sat Aug 1, 2015 | All (Home), Health, Runkeeper | 0 Comments

Fun event, but a little bit pricey. I guess they need to cover the cost of giving away bacon at two water/bacon stations during the run, and at the bacon party afterwards. Oh, and also pay for the big honkin' heavy bacon finisher medallions.

Yesterday, between setting irrigation dams, siphon tubes, and filling horse waterers I did manage to take a break. Today I intend to do the same with a Modelo Especial and a Drew Estate.

Took a few shots yesterday while working around the house. Got a fine pic of our vegetable garden showing how well the corn is doing, and another of the bunny that escaped from our neighbors kids. That bunny is going to be hard to catch.
