An Early Birthday Present

Just a quick post to put up a picture of our newest family additions. Please meet Sherman and Panzer, our new 9 week old puppies! They are just adorable! Soft and cuddly and they get along with Bette just fine. Oh, and they're standard Poodles. [snicker]

Recent Rides

Over the past week or so I've done a lot of riding. Rode to work at the library, back to Water Witch coffee in Highlands, to and from Camp K Nine, and to the Keyport watefront.

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

I have been remiss in my posting here so I thought I'd offer up an iPhone photo for your enjoyment. It was taken using the iPhone app called Panorama that automatically stitches together two adjacent photos. The frame was added wit the app Photogene. On the...

Probably taken in 1996 after we moved to the house on the Kern River outside of Bakersfield. We had the black H1, the SL500 and Sandi's Miata.

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.

It's official, 2008 is here and Sandi and I hope it brings the best to everyone. [taken with the online snapshot feature of my Canon Weather Cam] From a personal perspective, Christmas could have been a bit more relaxing. On Dec 16th after 3 days of abdominal pain, I...

Captive in my own home

by up10ad | Thu Sep 4, 2008 | All (Home), Health, Homestead | 0 Comments

Although my recovery is coming along fine, my mobility is limited by abdominal tenderness. I've been on the couch or in bed for days on end and it is annoying to say the least. The other night brought a beautilul sunset with bright long shadows that enticed me from...

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.
