Our Precious Mocha

If you haven’t heard about our precious cat, Mocha, then you haven’t talked to us recently ;). Mocha is the most adorable cat I’ve ever had. She sleeps on Anna’s pillow all night long, and cuddles under the covers until we get up. This post is dedicated to her.

Mocha is also very well known for badgering any “alien” dog who visits our house. This is Mocha intimidating Penelope and Pudgy:

No Comments on Pictures from Front Sight

In the beginning of February; Anna, Ashton, David and some of David’s Associates finally made it back to Front Sight Firearms Training Institute! To be brief, here’s a picture blog of how it went.
Front Sight has some great facilities:

Here’s a picture of the four-day defensive handgun class hard at work:

Doh… no more bullets. Looks like someone needs an Emergency Reload. (x1)

Kristy had a good time, as only Kristy can 😉

We went inside to the classroom for some instruction and some very intense learning sessions:

And then we had a beautiful purple sky on the last night of shooting:

We all had a blast, and Anna and I are very excited to go back again very very soon.

Rock Pile 1

Donald, Anna and I took a hike up our hill yesterday to get some exercise. As we approached the top of our hill, we came upon a large pile of loose rocks in front of a perfectly flat 3 foot square rock. The pile or rocks basically leaped out at us and said “Build something with us.” So Donald and I answered the call. After almost three hours of grueling engineering and heavy lifting, we were done with Rock Pile 1:

Voila!
Hopefully the wind won’t blow it over. 😉

Married Life

Handyman Weekend

On our “little red house”, there is a six-paned window facing the “street.” And a couple weeks ago, one of the panes just fell out and broke. So Anna ordered the new window and gave it to me to install it.

Since I have so much background in installing windows, I’d thought I’d put up a couple pics of how I did. I think it came together nicely.

After:

Voila. Window installed.

Horses

Lazy Horses

Well it’s the middle of winter up here and it’s been pretty cold but you wouldn’t be able to tell with the behavior of my horses. I just happened to look out my living room window and this is what I saw.
