Shutting Down

Just a note to let everyone know that I'll not be adding to this site anymore. Being stuck in the house with this broken leg, it's hard to write about what is going on around here.

I'm doing another blog now where I post that digital art that I do. Avatars, signatures, animated gifs or what ever I happen to be piddling with.

I'm Still Here!

Sorry that I've been missing in action for awhile.

This is a test to see how a new program I found works.

It's Official, Winters Here!

I got up this morning and it was obvious that it snowed last night. Not a whole lot, but enough to leave about 1 1/2" on my truck. I made plans with my nephew to go out to his house in Wasilla (about 40 miles away) to install a gate across his stairway in his house. He needed to keep the little ones from taking another tumble down the stairs. It didn't look to bad here in town so I didn't think much about going out there. I loaded up the gate and my tools and took off for the valley. Following is pics that I took as I went to Wasilla.

This is what it looked like when I first left town

This is what it looked like by the time I hit Eagle River (about 10 miles from my house)

10 miles before I hit Wasilla

This is the gate that I built and installed

So needless to say, I think we can say goodbye to summer and hello to winter. Now to get my head all wrapped around the idea of 6 months of snow yet to come.
