Also found an old photo of me, my sister and brother circa 1972, BFE Nevada

Just a stop in Ruby Valley Nevada (BFE) .  Les, Lorrie and Tom

Found an old disk from 20 years ago that I spent 5 years making.

I spent 5 years making this software that fit on 6 floppy disks and configured products for the company that I work for.  It is kind of funny that all that time can fit on this small disk which is now considered outrageously large.

A tiny Christmas tree


We visited the local Boy Scouts tree lot that had some fair silver tip Christmas tree and we got a beaut. Not comparing to last years 16' tree from the wild. We were going to cut our own but the snow got in the way.

Too damn cold, at the Spanish Springs High School.  Glad I don't have to get out of the car. Poor Mad does. HA.

Hiking in the Pah Rah range found a kitty collar

Rocky cliffs in Pah Rah mountains in Northern Nevada

Poor kitty lost his collar and probably the fight with the coyote.  This was way out in the desert.

West Coast supermarket Raley's is stepping up by getting into the single beer sales


The future of beer sales, singles!
I'm not thinking that this will compete with the 50 meter long single beer sales of Total Wine but now I can get nice selection in one 6-pack right next to the house.  Good Job Raley's!.

Our 1st home is a disaster

Krissy and I bought this home in 1990 and sold it in 2001. We bought this house brand spanking new and sold it in great condition. Now, some 12 years later, the house and fence are falling down. The whole neighborhood is just shit.  We are so glad that we moved and now pay an association fee.
Look closely and notice the Christmas lights in July and the falling down fence.  I built that fence so I know how it should look. 

I love this bridge in my neighborhood

Reminiscent of bridge work in highways in the Sierra 's
