HardDrive Near Miss!

I ran across The Chief in Scottsdale, AZ. There was a comfortable bench not too far from where this was taken. Late January, Early February is a very nice time to be in Arizona.


Wild Animal Park in Escondido is where I found fuzzy and the Cheetah. The Duck-Like bird lives in Fresno.


Saturday night my main Hard Disk became corrupted and I wasn't able to login to the computer. Sunday morning I installed another copy of Windows XP in another directory then spent the last 2 days culling out some unwanted stuff and re-installing the programs to work with the new installation of Windoze. The hardest part was trying to remember all of my passwords and finding the key files for the software. On the plus side the computer runs a lot faster now and I found some old pictures that I'd taken years ago and forgotten about. I'm just glad it didn't happen to my auxiliary drive where my thousands of pictures are stored. Thankfully, they are backed up.

Fresno/Clovis Visit

Another trip to Fresno/Clovis to spend quality time with my children and grand children. I had a splendid time. Thank you all for the wonderful hospitality, and for being perfect hosts. We observed a Taekwando session, spent the morning at the Fresno Zoo. Collected toads, played in the pool to keep cool and celebrated an early Father's Day. I also got to watch my grand daughters take their weekly swimming lesson. A very nice time indeed!

Memorial Day Holiday 2007

My Beautiful GrandDaughters came by for a visit today. We spent some time at the local park. They love to run free and play. It's one of their favorite things to do and it shows in their faces. I had a great time too!

Fabulous Fords Forever 2007

Happy Seventy-Fifth Anniversary
To The 1932 Ford

Made our annual trip to this fine event. Breakfast first, (flapjacks, bacon, cottage fries, eggs, and biscuits) then a tour of the parking lot to see a sample of every Ford made in the last 90 years or so. One guy was already having a cigar break when we got to his car. Great time. And the price was right.

Clovis Big Hat Days

I spent a great weekend in Clovis. It was a Big Hat Days/Easter combination celebration

Skateboard Park and Tidepools

Today we went to Costco, where Adam treated us to lunch, then to the Skateboard Park, Tidepools, and Skateboard Park again. Adam had a great time! Thanks for the lunch, Adam!

A Visit To Mission San Juan Capistrano

Today Shelly, Adam and I visited nearby Mission San Juan Capistrano. Adam is studying a little bit of California History in School so he was interested most of the time.

Dinner in HB

Tonight I met Denny, Kwis, Mat, and Scot in Huntington Beach. We had a fabulous dinner at El Ranchito, and then took a walk and watched the sunset from the HB Pier. Big Kris was there too but she left before my camera came out. A Very nice evening! Thanks to you all!
