day off


Had my fill of being around lots of people yesterday. Had to make a run this morning for ice - winter refrigeration season is officially over. Took the rest of the day to clean up the mess created by building the new solar oven. Sorted out all the construction debris, my porch piles, and the inside of my little hut. Packed everything up because of of rain forecast for the next couple of days. Checked last years photos from this day and shot some new pics of the same yucca and some new flowers sprouting out here. 68,87,63,T (trace amount of rain),W

nature tour...

Today was all about a Field Lab tour for my new friends Carl and Sheila and then just a day of observing nature. My buddy Thrasher was a bit vocal this morning. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOLaGNpO1Sk 68,91,38,0

Springtime in November

Slow day of getting ready to leave. So much easier to get up and go from my new desert life. Did a load of laundry this morning then cleaned up the grounds from my solar oven construction. Amazing how much debris forms from building something - even something small. Called my buddy who owns the mini storage in Austin (where my last bit of stuff is still hiding) to tell him a check is in the mail for November. We joked about how I figured out the whole mini storage scam - provide a place for people to put the stuff that they don't want to deal with, and you make a fortune providing the service for that very reason. Made arrangements for a visiting Sheriff friend of mine to run the show here and shoot intruders while I'm gone. Finished off the afternoon with 16 shots from my hand cannon. At 60 feet I was about 50% on target today. Best shot was the first one when I nailed a 8.5oz can. I have found target practice much more rewarding if the cans are filled with sand - that way they jump off the fence when hit. Otherwise - the bullet passes right through them and they don't even move. Cleaned the gun, took a shower, ate dinner and now some rest before tomorrows road trip to Phoenix. Photo of the day is a little plant that sprung up my the faucet on my water tank by the house. I dumped a little water on it the other day and yesterday I got thanked with some flowers.
