Took a trip to Disney Epcot, haven't been there in 20 years or so. Had a great day just walking all around Bay Lake visiting all the countries. Lunch at Tutto Italia Ristorante in Italy and dinner at the Yachtsman Steakhouse in the Yacht Club Resort. Beautiful water...

No horses were harmed in the making of this photo

This isn't a real pic, it is actually two pics taken with my iPhone while the horses were sleeping one morning recently. I stitched them together using the iPhone app Auto Stitch, cropped and framed them with the app Photogene, and added the lightning with the app...

It came about mid-month and the days have been getting warmer ever since. We are well on our way to completing projects around the house, something we couldn't even thing about doing this time of year up in Meeker. Today I burned the irrigation ditches in the front...

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...

Blast from the past

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...

The Wheel at Icon Park opened on May 4, 2015 and I finally went to check it out! My flight time was scheduled for 4:45 (tickets online in advance), but I received an email about an hour ahead saying it was 'not in operation' and that I could make use of my...

Over the past year I have noticed a steadily increasing numbness in my right hand, primarily affecting my thumb and middle finger. A trip to an orthopedist confirmed a carpal tunnel constriction diagnosis. In addition to the numbness the doctor pointed out a...

Spent a bit of time updating the pics pages and moving the site as a sub-web of my weatherweather.net site. I've always been interested in weather phenomenon and after leaving Bakersfield it dawned on me that I'm finally living in an area that actually HAS...

Taken sometime in fall of 1968 is my best guess. Joanne (first wife) and I met at UM College Park. The Zonker raced at Capitol Raceway and posted high twelves.

Sandi got me the flagpole several years ago for Christmas but I didn't I install it until last month. I especially like the Gadsden flag. It is in our back yard.

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...
