There’s Snow In Them There Hills

Knowlesville Posted on January 28, 2008 by MattJune 12, 2019
Snowing in the Wildcat

As I was typing yesterday’s entry, Lori mentioned that it was snowing outside. I had seen it hailing earlier so I was figuring that was what she was seeing. However when I went to the window I could see that …

Taboo Rose

Knowlesville Posted on January 27, 2008 by MattJune 12, 2019
Taboo Rose

The day after Christmas I cut up the cuttings from the Taboo rose and rooted 6 tips and then saved the rest of the canes to root at home. We then spent some time with Carol and John and on …

What’s Different In This Picture?

Knowlesville Posted on January 26, 2008 by MattJune 12, 2019
Kraftwerk Autobahn

I finished recording all my albums and as I was importing them into iTunes, I was grabbing album artwork off the Internet. I noticed that the CD artwork for one album, Kraftwerk’s Autobahn, was slightly different from the album artwork. …

The Bucket List

Knowlesville Posted on January 24, 2008 by MattJune 12, 2019
Trapping Moles

We’ve tried to tell Artie that instead of attacking the pretty birds in the neighborhood he should be ridding our yard of the moles. He mostly is successful with voles, I guess he’s not hearing us correctly. So after several …

Rescue Effort

Hummingbird

Artie came in the house today with his normal successful hunt meow. When I turned around to see what he had caught this time I saw that it was a hummingbird and it was still alive. I got it out …

Grandma Key

Knowlesville Posted on January 18, 2008 by MattJune 12, 2019
Grandma Key

As a kid, your Grandma is someone special because it’s a Grandma’s ordained duty to spoil her grandchildren. If you’re lucky as I was, your Grandma remains someone special throughout your life, and lives until she’s 90 so you get …

LED

LED die

I think LED must stand for Little Electronic Device. This LED die has now become the tiniest thing I’ve photographed for a client. For scale, that is a dime shown next to it. The die is so small it was …

One Less Leak in the House

Knowlesville Posted on January 14, 2008 by MattJune 12, 2019
New window

Tom of Celtic Construction installed this casement window for us which replaced one more source of leaks in our house. Now we just have the front door, the back door, and a mysterious leak in the office. On those rare …

Kneeland Fog

Knowlesville Posted on January 13, 2008 by MattJune 12, 2019
Kneeland Fog

I went on a ride up to Kneeland on the KLR and since I hadn’t been out on the bikes for several weeks I just wanted to ride. On those occasions, I tend to leave the SLR at home and …

So That’s Why

Knowlesville Posted on January 12, 2008 by MattJune 12, 2019
Floor in my office

We pulled up the old carpet in the office room today and found a layer of particle board under that. As we pulled up the particle board, we found that the original flooring was in pretty good shape, which was …

Internet Explorer Sucks

Knowlesville Posted on January 9, 2008 by MattJune 12, 2019
IE Sucks

If you’re one of the stupid people who still willingly uses Internet Explorer, or if your boss won’t let you install a more intelligent browser, you’ve noticed a change on this site lately. I made a change to the menu …

Happy Birthday Lori, Mom and Elvis

Knowlesville Posted on January 8, 2008 by MattJune 12, 2019
Birthday Card

It’s very convenient having your wife’s birthday the same as your mother’s. Makes it easy to remember. Of course if you forget, you’re doubly screwed. Mom’s card finally got in the mail today after making a trip to San Simeon …

Rippin’ LP’s

Knowlesville Posted on January 7, 2008 by MattJune 12, 2019
LP record player

I’m finally getting around to ripping our old LP records. Shortly after we bought our first CD player in 1985 our record player started acting up. When it would get to the end of the record the arm would lift …

It’s hard to be an optimist

Knowlesville Posted on January 6, 2008 by MattJune 12, 2019
Dead Mole

The morning that our yard flooded I told Lori that I was going to be optimistic about it and hope that the flood took care of our mole problem. When the water receeded yesterday, sure enough we found a dead …

It’s Over

Knowlesville Posted on January 5, 2008 by MattJune 12, 2019
Greenhouse damaged in wind storm

My efforts to strengthen the green house for our violent winter storms came to naught also. It is passed the point of repairing, and sadly, we’re going to have to give up on it. We’ll look into better built alternatives …

New Year’s Tradition

Front yard flooded

Even with all the work we did this fall trying to prevent this from happening again, we were greeted this morning with a totally flooded yard. Power was off when we awoke, and when it finally got light enough to …

Not a Road Runner

Songbird at Pinnacles

While we were resting at the reservoir at the Pinnacles, this bird joined us for awhile. We were planning to stay in the Bay Area to have our anniversary dinner at the Shadowbrook Restaurant, but we got homesick for Ferndale …

Road Runner Country

Knowlesville Posted on January 1, 2008 by MattJune 12, 2019
Pinnacles

Today we just slept in and then lazed around Carol and John’s so we’re showing a photo from yesterday’s trip to the Pinnacles. On the drive out there we saw a road runner, and true to form, he was running …
