Winter

 Around here we didn't have much of a winter until a week or two ago. Time to bring out the skimobiles.

 

This is a view from on top of the Simcoes.

We needed some heat in the shop and a friend of mine had this wood fireplace so we brought it home. Note the freshy percolator, wouldn't be complete without the freshy!

I think thats about it.

Some last years catching up.

A long about January, Sog and I went to Sd and purchased a vessel that looks remarkably similar to this.

 I only had it a short while but it got me around while my other pickup was torn apart. Here is what it looked like before I sold it. As you can see, not much better.

 Moving on, right about the time we left Sd for home, Moldy follered right along behind us. Sure enough, shortly after he was moving out. I guess the coyote hunting was much better out here. About June or so I found a horse to buy, he is a real decent 10 year old gelding named Cody.

I have ridden him a few times but its kind of boring riding by myself. Hoping Moldy gets one he can ride sometime here soon. Here is a ride Moldy and I went on.

As you might notice there have been some large gaps, that's because the months in between, there wasn't much of anything important happening or if there was I forgot. Around August happened to be 1 year since my pickup had moved. Also we started to get real busy and as a result I missed most of hunting season. I did call in this bear for a friend of mine I went to school with.

But it wasn't all lost because the weather was too hot to hunt anyway. A month or two later I started calling coyotes again. I did not shoot all of these, Brian got a couple, Kevin got one and another friend got one, but I did call them all in.

Somewhere in there I called a cougar in but didn't get a shot. Also got 2 raccoons and 1 gray digger with my bow.

Sometime in the fall I got the engine back for my pickup and we started putting that back together.

 Its back in the pickup now, just waiting on a exhaust manifold and a turbo and it ready to fire.

Some updates

First let me reveal to you the results of the eyeglass voting.

Thanks to all who voted. The glasses pictured were not pictured in the voting post- thanks for voting just the same.

A while back Randy and I did this real decent landscape job that started out looking like this.

Then we got it to this stage. It now has grass- that is doing quite well I might add.

This good looking fellow here was the mastermind of the project and he done right well.

I guess to sum it all up, what I'm trying to say to anyone who reads this is thanks for being so long suffering with this corporation.  Some percentage of ownership have not been holding up their end of the deal.  That's now been addressed and we hope to have more regular updates.  Thanks again and remember: we can also landscape your place of residence.  

New Dog

I takin got me a new doog. Somewhat handy to have around and that.., not too tough on the pocketbook either. Am teaching her some things, she's got her name ( Riika ) and sit halfways figured out so I guess I will not put the dunce hat on her quite yet.

She looks real similar to this.

Here she is attempting to stare down a deer. Not quite brave enough to chase them yet, so she settles for a mean glare and then stalks off.

To make up for talking somewhat coarsely about her right out in public like that, here is some evidence that she is a quick learner. She learned how to drink out of the horse trough. Better to take it a little steady, maybe not try to jump right in.

Help Moldy

So it turns out that our dear brother Moldy is very nearly legally blind, (which explains why he's so terrible at Ping Pong) Say!! That reminds me of a story! The other night I thoroughly smayshed Fatty at a friendly game of PP, and.. Say! That reminds of another story! I finally cleared my Clunker out of the shop and now Ernie says he is going build a PP table in the shop. Anyways Moldy was hoping you would help him choose some new glasses, so please take the time to vote on the choices. #1 is the top, 2 is middle, which leaves 3 for the bottom. No ballot box stuffing please.
