Pumpkin?

Not a fan of pumpkin ale. Don't like most 'flavors' added to my beer or cigars or pipe. [shrugs]

Not much news recently. As if you wanted to know, I had hernia surgery, all went well. We have had a very mild winter so far, we're in the middle of the second warm spell which is melting all previous snow causing a 2nd mid-winter 'mud season'. The...

Went to a local spot outside of Hotchkiss with Sandi, Jimmy, Eva, Jeff, Leta, Justin & Dakota. We fished 4 of the 8 ponds and caught a variety of cutthroat, brown and rainbows.

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.

Although we have listed the house for sale in the past, the market momentum has increased here and delivered a buyer. We have a good, firm offer and the closing is set for July 2. Of course we immediately went looking ourselves and we found a nice place in...

Unless otherwise noted, all photos are taken with my iPhone and post-processed with iPhone applications. I seldom carry my Canon 20D anymore except in situations where I need to use the big 400mm telephoto lens.

Spent a few days building an irrigation diversion box and began the installation yesterday. Had to break out the side of the concrete V-ditch to make a connection to the new diversion box. I'll post some 'after' pics in a few days, but this is one taken during the...

Hank, Willow, Piper, Todd and Sarah

Went to a McCain/Palin rally in Grand Junction yesterday. Sarah was there and it opened with Hank Williams, Jr. I'm voting for Piper in 2030. I didn't have my 400mm lens so the pics are blurry when enlarged and cropped.

We celebrated Christmas in Meeker with the Giaos. Drove up Christmas Eve and back late on Christmas day. Had to come home to tend to the animals. We did eat well.

Sandi and I spent the weekend in Denver finalizing the NCT auction. We had great food. One night at Mizuna and one at McCormicks. The Oxford Hotel got us complimentary tickets to Zoo Lights and provided Town Car transportation. Not only were the light displays...

Well, a lot has happened since my last post. The Fudgey Duck closed rather quickly, primarily due to landlord/tennant problems. Its just as well, I'm happy to not have a business to keep Sandi away from home every day. We may re-visit it later, but...
