(October 19th, 2024) Took Ann to Stanford last Monday and on the way back picked up Daisy and headed up to Reno. Unfortunately she ended up under the weather for the first few days so Kathy and I entertained Daisy. By Friday she was back on her game just in time for Jeff who drove up to play a bit and take her back to Newcastle today. Click on photo for more pictures!

(October 13th, 2024) Mason who had pneumonia last month had it return with a vengence this week. In ICU wwith lungs full of liquid. All was well after a couple of days and they moved him to a regular room. What they thought was an anxiety attack turned out to be one lung still full of liquid so back to ICU, breathing and feeding tube. He is home now! Mike and Annie got to spend a few days in Kona, HI at their friends condo while we suffered here in the states. Kathy and I went to see Trump at the GSR and after waiting in line for 5 hours never made it in to the venue! Click on photo for more pictures!

(October 5th, 2024) I actually retired December 31st, 2023, had a nice going away bonus and was a happy man. Unbeknownst to me there was going to be more! Seems Ben, Blayne and Kathy had been planning a party ever since and today was the day! They knew I wouldn't come if it was a surprise, so kinda forwarned me. Didn't expect as many friends and family though! Had a great time....! Click on photo for more pictures!

(October 4th, 2024) Well just a mile of it anyway. Making plans to be dropped off 4 miles further up the trail and hiking back. Also realize this would be a great walk for Daisy and Jeff. With the Gold Ranch fire the views have changed since I was there a year ago. Click on photo for more pictures!
