Monday Musings

Dang, almost half way through August. It is getting busier as we prepare for the annual "Tailgate Training Camp" with good friends over in the Ochoco's and football season kicks off in just 19 days. Where does the time go?

For Camp I am smoking Texas Country Style Pork Ribs and preparing a dish of Texas Caviar. Daph is going to make potato salad, cole slaw, and some evil desert. We always eat well.

No action on the house. The street flyer's keep disappearing. We had one looker last week who still needed to list their house. They really liked the place but who knows? Though we would like to get on with our plans we don't have to sell. There are worse places to be "stuck".

I don't know what to make of this Retirement gig. I have no problem staying busy. I don't know how I had time to work. It seems that I am going 7 days a week and don't have a day off......LOL!

We will give an update on training camp next week.

GO DUCKS!

California fires

The sky over the last few days has been filled with smoke, and we thought it was due to the typical field burning, but heard on the radio this morning that it's due to the California fires. The Siskiyou complex has been burning since the end of June, and is only one of many wildfires in the area. Oregon sent a number of firefighters to assist. A helicopter crash on 8/6 resulted in the deaths of eight firefighters from Southern Oregon. These wildfires take a terrible tole on the firefighting community. If you're interested in more information on fires anywhere in California here's a nice selection of maps at the CalFire website.

The Blog World

Daph has opened the world of blogging to me. I enjoy keeping up with several area's of interest involving this venue but I never really thought I would participate. What I find interesting about this is the ability to consolidate one's interest an resources with others at a single location. I look at it as a quick way to keep others advised as to what is up, what has happened and to document shared experiences.

I don't expect to start pontificating about politics and other other subjects as my ego is such I don't think to many others care what I think.

I hope folks look at this as I do......... A way of sharing things we enjoy on electronic media, our interests and your input as to what we do.

GO DUCKS!!
