Late Winter ’06
Not much exciting news. We started building a barn in October and it still isn't finished right. Lots of issues with the contractor , you can read the entire story as I post and update it on TractorByNet.com. The Quintus action is final as of...
Spring is here
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...
We may be moving…
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...
We DID move!
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,...
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,...
Happy New Year 2008
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...
Not quite spring yet…
It's been a cold and wet winter here in Delta compared to normal. For us it's still a lot milder than Meeker and we are enjoying it daily. We get a lot of light snow that melts off the same day. The temps are normally well into the 40's by now but...
Spring is here
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...
Just updating…
We have been working on the rental and things are going well. We have a couple all lined up with 3 horses and a teenage daughter, and we hope to have them moved in by the 2nd week of June. The house is on 1.5 ac and is a 3 BR 1 BA with a really nice bunkhouse...
Mid-June update
As I mentioned, tomorrow I go in for my 2nd surgery. I'm looking forward to it and getting my intestines back to normal. The worst part is having to stay in the hospital bed for 7 days. We are in the middle of our first hay cutting this year, don't know if we...
Almost July
Surgery went well, stayed in Delta Memorial 6 days. The re-attachment of my large intestine failed the first few tries, but he finally got it together without a leak. Because it was tenuous he performed a temporary ileostomy on my small intestine on the...

Trip to Springfield, MO
I took a 6 day trip to Springfield, Missouri to visit Joe, Anita and Christina who have been living there for the past 10 years os so since moving out of California.
Got a new camera
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.
Update
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'. ...
Summer ’05
Summer in Meeker is a short-lived thing, and this year it was very comfortable. Sandi and I took several trips to see Joe and Anita in Missouri, even spent a lot of time looking at property to purchase. In the end, nothing came of it as there isn't much in the...
Winter is here
Well, winter arrived early as usual. We usually get snow on or around Halloween and this year was no exception. Everyone is healthy and things are going well. The company I work for filed Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in October and I've been handling the process with...
Spring in Colorado
Spring is trying... News on the work front. For the past few years the company I work for, NC Telecom, has been battling cashflow problems stemming from a massive $12MM loan from the feds for rural communications infrastructure improvements. Last year the stock...
