27 Nov., 2010 -- Sneak in the grass

Neighbor cat slinking through the pasture... Love the eye liner!

These guys weren't sneaking... they were flat outright get-outta-my-way movin' on.
They stirred up several meadowlarks, and flagged traffic to a near halt. No antlers. Might have been ladies heading for after-Thanksgiving sales!

25 Nov., 2010 -- Thanksgiving breakfast

Yes, it's me! Notice that the burners are lit, too!

Actually, Grant did the pancakes.

Cam, Samantha, Dev & Grampa A enjoyed fresh blueberries.

They all scooted for home before the sleet-snow-freezing rain got serious.

22 Nov., 2010 -- Shuffle, work, dig with the big dogs

Randy and LAD showed up to help Lloyd work on the planes, shuffle them from one hangar to another.

The yellow one's running, the blue one's not. There's that prop again, this time shot with a Blackberry. I gave up on the glitchy Samsung Android after fighting with two of them, and went back to the BB. (Those two phones were haunted, had gremlins doing things all by themselves, didn't need a human to push buttons).

Lad got a ride, at least a taxi ride, when Dad tested out the engine on the Archer.

Working with the big dogs! Checking for bugs and mice.

Hauled some gravel to the potholes in the driveway. Work just never ends around here! Well, sometimes we do a puzzle for fun.


First sign of winter... line of thunderstorms moved through tonight, and it's a good thing the temperature was 50 degrees, or these little pellets might have been golf balls! Lasted about 5 minutes, like a bucket dump.

ET

ET welcomed me home!

Learning curve! We needed a new clothes dryer. While I played in Vegas, Lloyd went on a shopping spree. Took him 3 days; installed washer, uninstalled washer to get dryer into the small room; then vent had to go through the wall into kitchen cupboard to get to the floor, and that pile of stuff is still on the cabinet awaiting relocation.

So before unpacking, there is a 30 page manual. (Can't ya just throw in the soap & clothes and turn the dial & push "go"? No) And it takes high energy soap... What...

And it was 40 degrees in Branson when I landed, and it was 26 degrees last night, and...

I miss Las Vegas!
