Riding
Both bikes finally got put back together so we got up early this morning and went for a ride in the South Fork mountains before Blake had to leave for the Bay Area. We took Redwood House Road, over to … Continue reading →

Wrenching
Blake came up this weekend with the intention of having one day to wrench and then go on a two day camping trip as a test for our trip later this year. Due to unforseen problems that we encountered on … Continue reading →
Kinetic Sculpture Race
The traditional start to Memorial Day Weekend is to go up to Arcata for the start of the Kinetic Sculpture Race. Yesterday we found out that there was a Harbor Freight store in Arcata so we stopped there first as … Continue reading →
Electrical
Once the crew from DCI Builders finished with the shell, I got to work installing the electrical. I was hoping to use some of the existing wiring from the original garage, but every circuit that I opened up had problems. … Continue reading →
Computer Museum
The area over the posts in the front of the motorcycle garage has this neat little alcove that I thought would be a great place to display my computer museum. I’ve been saving most of the computers that I’ve used … Continue reading →
Sunrise in the Garden
I was enjoying my morning coffee on the futon and since I got up early with Lori, I got to watch the sunrise. As the sun was sneeking through the trees along Williams Creek, it lit up the garden in … Continue reading →
80 in Ferndale?
Beautiful weather on our two days off this week, but today was the kicker. We had Phil and Diane over for lunch and afterwards it was so nice that we walked up Williams Creek road for a bit. Phil mentioned … Continue reading →
Fly Over
Today I got another ride in the CDF helicopter, and like the two previous years when I got to go up in it, we ended up flying directly over our house. That makes it pretty hard to get a picture … Continue reading →
Chickens in the Afternoon
The last few days our yard has been visited by the neighbor’s chickens in the afternoon. The same neighbors who we ended up ‘borrowing’ Artie from. So I guess he’s used to them. Their dog Katie, also shows up in … Continue reading →
It’s Got Doors
Just a few days after getting both vehicles moved into the garage, I found that I had been evicted. I came home to find the garage doors installed, or at least partly. They weren’t hooked up to the lifters yet … Continue reading →
A Long Way from Fire Season
This afternoon the FVFD received a call for a small vegetation fire reported near Capetown. Now Capetown isn’t that far away, but the problem is you have to go up the Wildcat to get there, and our over the hill … Continue reading →
Roofing Goes On
In an amazing bit of luck, it never rained while we had the roof off of the garage. Paul Cosentino of Redwood Empire Roofing worked on the roof which was nice since he’s a member of the Ferndale Fire Department. … Continue reading →
Indoor Parking
Worked on cleaning the garage of all the construction materials so that we could get both cars in. Putting the car in the garage is such a foreign concept for us since we haven’t been able to do that since … Continue reading →
Working in the Garden
oday was a nice day to be outside working in the garden. Or not. Artie figured that if it is called a raised bed, it must be a nice place for a nap.
Buttercups
Finally got a chance to walk to work this week and I was noticing all the flowers on the way. We even have a few in our own garden that survived the flooding and rain. But along Rose Ave. I … Continue reading →
Stable Doors
Today they finished putting up the four stable doors for the motorcycle garage. These are dutch doors which will provide some good photo opportunities once the garage is painted. We’re waiting for the garage doors to be delivered which should … Continue reading →
More Progress
The garage now has new siding so pretty soon I’ll be slapping up some colors to test. It’s going to be barn red, with tan trim. This is the back side where my workshop is. The windows were left over … Continue reading →
Mallery
The rain has finally stopped for awhile and that means it’s time to go outside and take pictures. This is the first shoot I’ve done with Mallery, and we went out to Ocean House in Loleta where I was hoping … Continue reading →
