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 …

Greg is a local photographer I met and as some of you know we are working on several joint projects. We’ve been trying for the last few weeks to get together to take pictures for one of them with little …
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 …
