On yesterday’s ride, I stopped in the redwoods to take pictures, and right where I stopped was this trillium. I knew that they grew up here, but this is the first one I’ve seen. I thought it made an appropriate …
After spending the morning replacing the drive belt on the mower, and then mowing the lawn, my chores for the day were done. With it being such a nice day out, it was no tough decision on how to spend …
Spring arrived last week, but I was too sick to notice. Today I realized that due to bad weather and not feeling good, it had been over two weeks since I had taken any of the motorcycles out. So at …
Sorry the updates have been slow again. Lori and I have both been down with what is called locally, “The Humboldt Crud”. Seems everyone in town has it, sort of like Outbreak, only not so deadly. But at the first …

Work started today on installing our new fireplace. We are replacing the existing wood burning (yet not original fireplace) with a new gas fireplace that looks like an old Victorian coal burning fireplace. I’ll have pictures of the new one …
Another slow start this month. I kept thinking I was going to be going out photographing with Greg, but we kept postponing it due to our schedules and then the weather. We had a great run of nice weather last …
