One Year

So it has almost been a year since I have been here. Life is still way too busy and now it is becoming way too expensive. How did Roma tomatoes get to be $1.50 a pound? What is happening to our country? Do we want Donald Trump even getting a chance to run our country. How many times has he gone bankrupt? Of course, we, as a country are bankrupt. Not only monetarily but morally. Whenever I get to watch a TV that has cable or satellite I am amazed at what I see and hear. Years ago some of it might have been considered soft porn. Not that I mind. I'm a lettuce head just like the rest of the men but I worry about the little kids. No wonder kids are so crazy these days. Do you really have to know every little thing about what our "friends" are doing? No wonder I drink so much.

Once Again

It has been way to busy in my life. Work has been a bear and then I had to build a fence to keep my neighbor from encroaching on our property. So now it is almost time to go on vacation once again. No driving this time. We are flying and will be in NY for three weeks. During that time I plan on taking my daughter and grandson up to Vt. to see my Uncle and go fishing with him. I think that Hunter will really enjoy it. Of course we will stop and see Poope' and Mary and I hope that Bob and Jen will be there or drive over to NY for a weekend. We are only doing three weeks as shutdown starts early and plus this Dec we are going to go to Costa Rica to visit my old room mate from the Army. Here are some pics of the fence I built. Cost me a couple of thousand bucks. With the way things are I'm happy to have a job. I guess we need more oil wells to explode so the price of gas will continue to drop. Since the blow out our prices have dropped over ten cents. How odd is that. Talk at you later.

Hectic

It's been hectic here with all the storms that have been hitting us. I'll come back & write more later as it is time to go.

Sunsets and snow

So skiing was pretty good over this past long weekend. I fell twice though which I hate to do. Thank God we are slated to get more snow this week as it was really melting quick. Last night when we got home there was a beautiful sunset. Here's a couple of shots. Later.

First Ski of 09

So we went skiing on Christmas day. It was around 0 degrees but nice and clear. The skiing was rough as there wasn't a trail yet. I told Sharon that it was as bad as dragging out that elk. Which, by the way, is very tasty. We saw a bald eagle, some turkeys and of all things a wayward roadrunner. I have no idea what he/she was doing up at 9000' in two feet of snow. Maybe he was a snowrunner? Skiing the next day was better as the trail was broken. Still cold again though. We'll be heading up again for New Years and more skiing. I think I'll fire up the wood fired hot tub too. Later.

Elk Hunt

So the elk hunt was a big success in that we finally got one. My back held out, and my heart too even though it took us four hours to drag this thing to the Highlander. How many people go hunting in a Toyota Highlander? We actually had an Elk go over a cliff into a ravine rather than become food for us. Now it is food for the wolves and coyotes. Next hunt is the Handgun javelina coming in February. Sharon and I are even still married after making her get up at 4:30 every morning and go hunt in the freezing wind and snow. She is even considering going again next year. Who would have ever thunk it. HA
