That actually makes me feel a bit better, thanks Mike, Happy New Year to you!

Still, the sympathy wishes are appreciated and it was just a little over a month ago we finally got to drop his ashes into the lake as he requested.Thanks again.

For my first attempt at volunteerism since retirement I just received notice that I'm now a committee member on the city of Cottonwood's Dark Sky Committee. The little bit I do know so far is that while the city is International Dark Sky Org. recognized, the committee that originally earned us...

Made our way home from So. Cal. with a planned overnight stop at Lake Havasu City. There's a stretch of about 150 miles across the high desert between Barstow CA and Needles CA with very few stops or services available. Sidewall/Tread separated during the last downhill section at about 80mph...

Not that it was cold out last night but I had to bring these guys in for the first time for a thaw before the hummingbirds could have breakfast. 22 degrees this morning, not bad for some of you out there but cold enough to get our attention out here.

@ceeaton Great end of year post and I'll add a thanks to everyone from the regulars to the mods to the newbies. Compared to any other site I visit this group is by far the friendliest, most sharing and compassionate when needed group I've come across. Proud to be included with you all.

I'm hearing Charlie Brown music in my head right now....

Sounds like we've got some similar plans running Jim. I basically retired years ago I just made it official to the last couple of valuable clients that I'm done at the end of this year. I haven't taken a paycheck in 7 years, it's all been issued to Lori to build up her SS yearly average. We're...

Jim, I know you’ve been looking forward to this for a while. Enjoy it and use the chance to do and try things you’ve wanted to!

Two of those might make a neat pair of cowboy boots!

@bstnh1 Nice looking onion soup. We heading into the time of year when soups and stews start showing up for dinner more often. We're making French Onion soup tonight, hope it comes out as nice as yours!

Will try that next time, thanks

We need a Drooling "like" icon Mike... looks awesome. We're making a broccoli cheese cream soup and I tried making soft pretzels for the first time. Alton Brown recipe followed exactly and they came out great. Taste and texture of a perfect yeast dinner roll. Should be perfect with soup.

Photographed at the end of Tuesday morning's eclipse, about 5 minutes before the moon set behind the Mingus mountains and the town of Jerome. Because the moon was so bright and the town was still pretty dark I shot maybe 12 diff exposures between .3 and 8 secs then blended the best two.

The weather cooperated and I was able to enjoy the entire eclipse last night and this morning. Got home about 6:30, took a couple hour nap and threw this together. A little chilly but pretty awesome.

I had a similar issue in California house. I bought the stools I wanted then cut 3 inches off the legs, added felt pads to the ends and all worked out great.

@ibglowin we used to hang out at the arboretum all the time. Have you visited the Huntington Library also. They have beautiful ground too

I'm playing bachelor for a few days while Lori is babysitting her mom after a minor surgery. Strip steak on sale, first time cooking it, except as part of the tbone, if my understanding of the cut is correct. A little cheese bread, salad and tempranillo to round it out.

I was really talking about your lame work on the crust. Always looks professional and artisan
