She was wandering around behind the old welcome center for the subdivision with her baby. Was able to get within 50 yards or so.

First misty morning.

^^ Sandi was featured in a gallery exhibition in Denver. ^^ They put me on a gate fence just at the entrance, I drew quite the crowd. Hehehe, actually it is just a new free iPhone app called PhotoFunia that embeds your photos in a number of different and fun...

Spring is here

by up10ad | Wed May 2, 2007 | All (Home), Weather, Work | 0 Comments

Spring came early this year. By late March it was somewhat comfortable for a few days, and April was very nice indeed. The mud season didn't amount to much more than a few days of melt-off and it was over. Things turned green very early and spring is...

We’re Official Apple Fanbois (sorta)

Sandi was the lucky recipient of an Apple MacBook Air for Christmas and she loves it. I have had my MacBook Pro for almost a year and I too really like OS-X and the laptop design. In addition we both have iPhones and we're pretty much entrenched in...

We DID move!

by up10ad | Tue Jun 26, 2007 | All (Home), Travel | 0 Comments

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,...

Too Friggin’ Cold!

It is not supposed to be this cold here in Delta. We are in Colorado's banana belt. This is a snapshot from my weather station/web site. Yesterday when I originally posted this it was -7.2. I updated it this morning (Thur the 10th) with this -12.8 pic.

I’m finally back here again

Looks like I'm getting an entry in here about once every year, whether it needs it or not. I never was good at journals. Well, the Flag Creek Cafe lasted until about July 15, at which time we completely understood why the restaurant business is so different from the...

It Didn’t Explode!

by up10ad | Thu Apr 1, 2010 | All (Home), Homestead, Strange | 0 Comments

It's the time of year to burn the fields in preparation for the new hay season. I have a bit of pyromania in my blood so I always look forward to this task. Armed with my LP tank and weed burner attachment I set out burning the field south of the house. All went...

Got a new camera

by up10ad | Fri Oct 22, 2004 | All (Home), Web/Tech | 0 Comments

After 10 years or so without a good 35mm SLR I finally bought a Canon EOS 20D Digital SLR. I'm having a lot of fun taking more photos, especially with the Canon 100-400L USM IS telephoto lens.

Sandi acts as the breeding and babysitting facility for our babies as well as her brother and sister-in-law. This fella is from Dollie, one of Jeff and Leta's mares. No name yet.

Another snowstorm today, 10″ plus. Took a slow-motion video out the back window. Click the square in the lower right corner to adjust to screen size.

Rode my bike to Work!

Had our first day of warm weather (65 degrees) so I decided to ride my bike to work. The Library is about 8 miles from home, but the first 7 miles is on the Henry Hudson Trail. The last mile or so is on surface streets but the traffic isn't too bad. It was dark coming...

Fall Weather

by up10ad | Tue Oct 20, 2009 | All (Home), Weather | 0 Comments

Summer was mild, then we had a cold snap in early October with freezing temps, but since then it has been a beautiful fall season. Let's hope for a normal mild Delta winter.
