Tuesday, January 30, 2007. Just a few days after Christmas. We got this! We voluntarily stayed snowed in for three days. It was great! Posted by Sourdough @ 9:12 PM. The Gang at Christmas: My favorite ladies in all the world. Posted by Sourdough @ 8:53 PM. The projects to add the gravel walk, Move the fountain and build the pergola are now complete. It all started small and took on a life of it's own. Posted by Sourdough @ 8:45 PM. View my complete profile. 23d Infantry in Alaska. Its been a long time!

Battle Ground: February 2007
http://battle-ground.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 19, 2007. Ford Motor Company : Forget Customer Relations! The Ford F150 is great truck! Lousy Customer relations. I contacted them to ask a a question about a problem that the dealership couldn't answer. At last, after several tries, I got a final answer: Contact the dealership! The reply was from a person named Liz in the Customer Relations Department. Not only was it stupid, it was couched in arrogant and downright disrespectful terms. Maybe an Audi A6 is the answer! We built the TV st...

Blackberry Hill: August 2006

Thursday, August 31, 2006. Fang - Rescuing the World's Ugliest Cat. I don't have a picture or a gender of "Fang" yet but this cat is our latest rescue. I tell you what, this cat needed a rescue. It's dirty, stinky, and ugly. U. And sweet, but did I mention ugly? I think it is supposed to be a Persian but I call it a perversion. Adding injury to insult, the unfortunate creature also possessed a horrific upper respiratory infection. Me: "Awwww, Honey! Resignedly replacing his foot on the brake.). We tempor...

Thursday, August 25, 2011. The Carter Boat Company completes its 1st order! Miracle of miracles, they do exactly what they are supposed to do when in the water! The Three kayaks took us the better part of a year and a half. They each had at least 9 coats of epoxy, and 9 coats of varnish, with drying time and sanding between coats. Mine and Deans are 17 footers, and Mary's is a 14 footer. They weigh less than 50 pounds apiece. Mary's is the slickest and best looking one of them all. You lay it out. Hi aga...

Friday, September 22, 2006. Zen and the Art of Lawn Maintenance. Posted by Sourdough @ 10:09 PM. Thursday, September 21, 2006. Do remember ever being this young? Bart contacted me thru Military.com a while back. This was after 40 years. The last time I saw him was in 1965 when Mary and I were on our way to Fort Jackson SC. T. He two of these guys were my best friends at Fort Ord. We drifted apart as we bobbed around on the tides of war and needs of the service. Posted by Sourdough @ 11:58 AM. I've been s...

Battle Ground: September 2009

Monday, September 28, 2009. I see in the news today that Bill Clinton says that the " Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy". Posted by Sourdough @ 9:27 AM. Sunday, September 20, 2009. I believe that the Democratic Party is now a threat to this country and its well being. The likes of Obama, Emmanuel, Pelosi, Reid, and all of the "Czars" need to be removed from their offices at the earliest possible election. They are well on their way to making the country that I fought for a third world country. Now, all that was...

Wednesday, September 27, 2006. Henna Found a Home, Sorta. And Fang Loses Out. Henna, our most exotic rescue to date has found temporary - possibly permanent - placement. My husband took her to the local shelter today where they recognized her immediately as one of a missing pair of Bengals whose prior owner had passed away. Have they no pity? The vet office clipped his nails way back so although we have a bruise or two to show for our "this is hurting us more than it's hurting you" medication regimen, th...

Battle Ground: November 2006
http://battle-ground.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 02, 2006. Our nephew Marc was sworn in as a citizen last month. He got his green card last winter, and immediately signed up in the Marine Corps. He graduated one cold day in the spring. Mary and I are as proud of him as if he were our own. Posted by Sourdough @ 11:25 AM. I'm just a country boy from Illinois, but I've seen some weird things. I've been to three county fairs, two Indian rodeos, a goat roping, and came in first and third in a watermelon eating contest!

Blackberry Hill: December 2006
http://blackberry-hill.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 25, 2006. Not a creature was stirring, at least until the girls got home Christmas Eve. Then all creatures were stirring, purring, panting, licking, wiggling, wagging, and giggling as carefully wrapped packages revealed surprise after surprise. Digital cameras for the girls, a 10"x12" greenhouse for my husband and a red nano for me. Not to mention a warm fire, laughing and loving children, a proud husband, and pampered pets. Posted by Aeirie @ 12:24 AM. Downed Trees and Good Guys.

Blackberry Hill: December 2008
http://blackberry-hill.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 22, 2008. And that a 5 gallon can of diesel must way 40 to 50 lbs? And that it was snowing? Anyway, I got the diesel back to the house, filled up the tractor, and worked for what was left of the day on the driveway. The next morning Sheila continued the work. Yes, that is the snow up to the top of the tractors back wheels. We also started to dig out the front path, switching with the tractor person when they got tired of shoveling. Eventually the path was done. Sunday, December 21, 2008.
