Happy 4TH of July, as we celebrate this time please take time to remember and pray for those in harms way defending our way of life. Our 4th started with me getting up and helping Nolan finish the path to his lawn shed. They have a very, very nice backyard. I was very jealous; I […]

Today was Alamogrodo day. We got up and Stephanie came over and we all talked for a while. We needed to be in Alamo around 1 so away we went. One of the real interesting facts of life down there is to leave Las Cruces you have to go through a Border Patrol check point […]

… All night long.  20 hours on the road, now that’s a party!!  The trip started with Dad’s birthday party which was a great time.  We stayed that night at the house I turned in early because we planned to leave at 3 in the AM (insanity is fun you should try it some time).  […]

I find it tough to watch the shareholders of the oil industry take such a beating as their companies struggle to make a profit. So in the interest of the greater good I bought an gas guzzling monster 1998 Ford Expedition or as I call it the EDV Exxon Donation Vehicle. The way I look […]

To feel this damn old.  Apparently, digging 3 32 inch holes and mixing 240lbs of concrete to set the last of the posts will kick my butt.  However, my fence posts look great.  Three post holes and the fence is done; well at least the hard part.  By the end of the week the whole […]
