  • A Few Weeks!

    A Few Weeks!

    The UMM Biomass Gasification Facility A few images I took of the south end of the new building on October 3, 2008, the date of its official dedication. So okay, it’s been a few weeks since my last post; my apologies for that. Things have once again been busy, and when I’ve had a few…

  • A Long Weekend Comes To A Close

    A Long Weekend Comes To A Close

    Pelicans! I was stoked to see several flocks of pelicans as I drove home from town this morning. It was so cool, so I went to get my camera quickly. Unfortunately, when I stopped to take pictures, the closest ones (a hundred feet or so from my location) decided to fly off… So I had…

  • Eesh, A Month!

    Eesh, A Month!

    Alert Felix was getting ready to go back inside, hence his elevated state of alertness. I should really try to be more alert (short of Beth’s periodic reminder of how long it’s been since my last post) about posting here, but things have been terribly busy, much to the dismay of the flocking audience here.…

  • Bits Of Randomness

    You Take It Kirstin offers George a pinecone. So it’s been nearly two weeks since the last post; my apologies to the faithful. 🙂 With the change (finally) to spring/summer days, I find myself occupied with many more tasks than normal, and that makes for long days coupled with a periodic lack of motivation to…

  • Happy Birthday, Minnesota!

    Happy Mother’s Day! Kirstin all dressed up for church this morning. She’s too cute. Okay, so today doesn’t happen to be just Mother’s Day or Minnesota’s 150th birthday (I love the word sesquicentennial, by the way). It’s both. And that’s cool. At least to me. So go mothers, and go Minnesota. Here ends the public…

  • More Busy Times

    I’m Safe Here Kirstin and Beth share a cuddly moment for me. 🙂 It seems like this is becoming more of a weekly post sort of thing than a daily sort of thing. I’m not sure what I think about that off hand, but we’ll see how things pan out now as the spring progresses……

  • Another Busy Weekend

    New Guitar String? She was playing with a soon-to-be-defunct (as soon as I get enough time to finish installing the structured media enclosure in the basement) telephone line that runs to our bedroom upstairs. So it’s been a good and busy weekend, just like I expected. Several things have happened in the last days, so…

  • It’s A Saturday!

    Flirty Girl She was flirting with me when I first set her down on the floor for picture time. You know, Saturdays tend to be boom or bust for me. I either get some stuff done, or I get nothing done. There’s never really any middle ground like ‘I sorta got a few things started,…

  • Oven Antics

    Neat Side Picture Okay, so a few weeks ago we made scalloped potatoes for an event. That was all fine and good, except we made a bit too much, and they boiled over in the oven. Well, not for long, but long enough for an amount of liquid butter to basically pool in the bottom…

  • A Long Weekend

    Not Too Sure About That Pickle It was pretty cute to see her reaction to her first pickle. Okay, so perhaps it’s not a long weekend in the traditional sense (three days), but we were quite busy this weekend. It started out on Friday afternoon when we loaded up and headed for my folks’ place…
