Family Christmas Picture

Family Picture from our Christmas Ski Trip.

Trees can be tuff suckers

We thought we would cut down one of the two trees that was about 7 feet high after we had most of them cut down many years ago.  After serving as a feeding ground for wood peckers and other small pecking animals we were under the impression that it would be an easy job for my electric chain saw.

Not so, we (including Sam and his friend Frank) cut half of it down, that was about 5+ feet of oak that took a little longer than expected.  But, then to finish off the bottom as per the bosses requirements standing on your head to operate an electric chain saw took forever.

Eventually we decided to let the wood peckers work on it for another season, or at least take a swipe at it when I am feeling ambitious.

A Break from Sprinting...

Taking about a week off to recharge my bateries with my lovely wife Lori.  Then back to Sprinting at work. It was a pretty busy month of May with Katie and Nicks Wedding.

Happy 4th of July

Its the 4th of July today, and the weather is great.  Replaced one ceiling fan in the dining room yesterday, and will replace the one in the bedroom today.  BBQ brisket on the menu for this evening.

Spring??

By the looks of today spring has sprung.  But the forcast is for more what! SNOW! GAAA!!

The weekend outlook

I got the snow off the patio, the lawn chairs are out, and no Govmt Shutdown.  It is going to be a nice weekend.

A quick note on a Friday afternoon.

Here it is April 1st Friday afternoon, and it is close to 50 degrees out, and there is still a ton of snow in our back yard.  Where is spring?
