Happy New Year everyone! I know… not many updates these days. Sorry about that. These are busy, busy days. A very significant project at work had me living in Sweden for a short period of time – six weeks – for all of November and the first half of December. That same project kept me… [Read More]
Fencing Trip
No… sorry… not fencing like sword-fighting. Fencing like barbed wire fencing. The snow is gone from the continental divide and I flew into Bendit last weekend to check the road and area. It all looked clear and dry so this past weekend, I loaded a whole mess of fence posts, a couple big 3″ square… [Read More]
The Windsock Flies!
I have some amazing friends!! I don’t talk about them enough but I am VERY blessed! Three of those friends brought their RV’s up to the Hacienda recently for a weekend visit.

Pain Must be Shared
I have come to the conclusion that pain must be shared. I see it all the time and it doesn’t matter what the topic is. If someone feels some type of pain, either physical, emotional, financial, etc…, they MUST tell people about it. Why?? Boy, that is the million dollar question! I have no idea…. [Read More]
Step-Father
I received word today that my step-father passed away last night. I haven’t seen him in ten years nor spent any significant time with him in probably twenty years so I am shocked at the pain I feel. Jerry was a great guy. He had his issues – don’t we all. He cared for me during… [Read More]
