Captive in my own home
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...
Ma Famiglia in Meeker
Went to lunch with Brandy, Matt, Justin, Dakota, Jimmy, Eva and Sandi. We were there for Justin's opening game 'Cowboy Football!' Beer choices are sometimes hard, but Drop Top carried the day, and we found that mother Eva reallllly liked it! [gallery...
Bankruptcy hearing in Denver
I've recently returned from testifying in the NCT case and it reminds me why I was happy to leave the legal arena. For the last three years I have steadfastly tried to guide NCT forward for the benefit of the creditors, local community and ultimate new...
Fireside at the Veitch’s
We all had a great meal the other night. Appetizers of shrimp and scallops followed by ribs. Sitting by the fire is a tradition that never fails to bring out good conversation and warm...
Bonfire for Jeff’s birthday
Sandi and I invited Jeff and Leta for dinner for his birthday and lit up a huge pile of brush and other stuff we had gathered from around the property over the summer. It was quite a display! I snapped this great silhouette of Jeff while he was tending the fire....
Little Baby Chick
This little guy (or girl) was hatched last week and gets around pretty well already! He never gets more than a few feet from mother hen, but he ranges all over the yard, arena and pasture. He was one of about 5 eggs in the nest but the only one that hatched for...
Round Bales This Time
After we cut there were several days of light rain and the hay was a bit heavy, It dried well but our neighbor thought it would be better if he used his big round baler rather than the small...
NC Telecom Update
Well, the judge in the NCT bankruptcy case ruled that our reorganization plan and auction should move forward as presented in our motion. He apparently did not buy the argument that the parent company or current management (moi) allowed our personal stakes in the...
Long Fall Shadows
I just thought that the evening shadows were delightful. Fall is...
Hank, Willow, Piper, Todd and Sarah
Went to a McCain/Palin rally in Grand Junction yesterday. Sarah was there and it opened with Hank Williams, Jr. I'm voting for Piper in 2030. I didn't have my 400mm lens so the pics are blurry when enlarged and...
Sunset and update
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...
Thanksgiving, a time for family
This holiday season has started. The weather here in Delta is just about perfect for fall, crisp with a chill that reminds you of what is on the way. I'm going into this season with anticipation of Christmas without hospitals, in good health. I am so grateful to...

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...
