Kansan's first tornado of the season 5/6/15. At 1:54 in the video you can see St. Johns Church where I was married. Like the church, our marriage has weathered some storms. Glad to report that both still standing strong. Towards the end is the church's cemetery.

Took my son out for our first run of the spring - 3.5 miles of father/son bonding time. I love getting to hear about things he's trying to figure out about life and talk about coming of age and expectations of him when he becomes a man.

Ummm ... You are going to let your Colorado connections take it for a spin every once in awhile, aren't you?


The car, not the blonde of course ...

Found a missing compilation CD of music at an Amazon link so I could use the 'smile' option ( = $ --> GBF ). MUCH needed rain arrived (don't have to muck with leaves), pot of coffee & fresh tubes in the amp.

Livin' large!

Three years of living neck deep in paperwork and raising hell has finally paid off. I head to Benning in the morning.

Amazing what you can do when you don't care how hard or how long it takes to do it. Just keep leaning forward.

Thanks to everyone that helped me along the way.

A little snow time to see what the "Mountain Probe"* can do....
The wind blown snow in the low spots got a little dicey at depths up to 3' but eventually made it to the end of the road and back.

Eighteen seventy-eight? Is that the one you bought down here? Probably driven by the Buffalo Soldiers during the Indian Wars.

You may be right. Probably left over from Maximilian's rein like the accordion.
