4th of July Flag and Fireworks
I took the following photo from our back deck using my lowly iPhone 2MP camera. It shows the fireworks from the lake about a mile away with my backyard flagpole in the foreground. Just a bit of shadow/highlight adjustment in Photoshop CS3 and it looks...
Great dinner
Scallops on a bed of rice and romaine. This is part of the reason why I have dropped form a high weight of 282 in December of 2007 to 229 this week, My goal is to get to about 190...
I love my flags
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...
Skid Vicious has surgery
Sandi took her baby colt to have minor surgery done on his leg. He had a tendon issue that needed a slight tweak. All seems well and he is up and around only hours after waking.
iPhone 3G Jailbreak pending…
Link: blog.iphone-dev.org. I'm waiting impatiently for the dev team to release the jailbreak for iPhone 3G. Looks like it is still a few days away. While the new 3G has access to all the apps in the iTunes App Store, there are still a lot of...
Fly fishing
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...
Olathe Sweet Corn Festival
Brandy and the boys came down and we went to the festival. All the roasted corn on the cob you can eat! The best sweet corn available...
Stringing fence
Today I added some cross fencing to the horse pasture. It's easy. Just push in t-posts with the Bobcat , cover with the HorseGuard plastic sleeves, pop in the tape guides and string the electric...
Sandi is the Pied Piper
Sandi and the geese get along great. They sit in her lap and peck lightly at her rings and bracelet as she pets them. After a bit they quiet down and just relax and poop on her...
Animated Drum Crushing
This is brutal. What you are seeing is a 55 gallon drum being devoured by a crusher. Imagine falling into that! Just a random animated .gif image I ran...
Sunset over the Cimarrons
Sandi and I went to Montrose to help Jeff and Leta paint their house and do some grading with the Bobcat. It was a fun day that culminated with dutch-oven ribs server outside under a beautiful sunset. The image below was taken looking almost straight up as the sun...
Hooked up again
I had my final surgery on Thursday to reverse my ileostomy and I'm being released from the hospital in a few hours. Woo-hoo! All systems seem to be working fine and I'm digesting scrambled eggs & pancakes as I write this. I still have a month or so of healing...

Fall ’06
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,...
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,...
