Safe travels Zeus

Bye garage buddy. I had to work in town all day, but wish I could have been home to help Dennis. It was a hard day.

Very sad day on the mountain

Woke up this morning to find Zeus laying on the ground crying. He lost use of the lower half of his body. From best I can tell from the internet, it was saddle thrombosis. Similar to a stroke, it is caused from a blood clot cutting off blood flow to the lower half of his body. It sounded like they don’t usually recover from that. We planned on taking him to the vet tomorrow to be put to sleep. He slept most of the day, but then got worse late this afternoon and passed away this evening. We will miss you dear friend , safe travels…..

If website out…

I’m changing to a different domain name host and the website may be out for a bit while I configure it to the new host. It may happen from today through the next week. Tomorrow I start work on “Riverdance” for the weekend, with extra cleanings over the weekend at the Timken for December Nights, formally Christmas on the Prado.

Cabin Life – Thanksgiving Weekend 2011

We hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving Day. Ours was quiet but we did make a turkey with stuffing and cranberry sauce. It was a small bird. Friday, Tim and Ed came for two days to help us put electrical into our garage. We dug the trench we needed on Thanksgiving. One problem we hit a water line when doing the trench, but it was easy to fix. We also finished off our plumbing repairs from the water leak out back. We also finally started to cut down the dead manzanita in back.

Ed did a real nice job on the electrical on Saturday. It seemed to take longer than we thought, but doing it right takes time. The only problem we had was that the pipe going into the garage wasn’t connected to the pipe to the box in the road. It was awhile ago when we set it up and I guess we didn’t remember we needed to hook it up, which Dennis did in short order.

Sunday it was really windy and the wind broke off the front awning of the trailer, which was down, but we guess got lifted up and then the hinges broke and it was starting to blow off when we saw it and took it off. We think it can be fixed.

Ed got sick on Sunday but said the Guesthouse was a good place to rest. We dug a hole out back to try and move the pistachio tree in the front to the back while it is dormant.

Molestation suspect on the run busted by bounty hunters

Our Neighbor is finally caught. He caused a lot of trouble out here.

  • SAN DIEGO (CBS8) – An accused child molester is back behind bars after an alleged attempt to flee the country was thwarted by bounty hunters.

    According to court documents obtained by News8, 62-year-old Patrick Pawlicki, a businessman from Santa Ysabel, changed his appearance as part of his escape plan. Investigators say Pawlicki had lost about 50 pounds, and had dyed his gray hair, eyebrows and mustache brown, when he was tracked down in Jonesboro, Georgia…

  • Cabin Life – November 21, 2011

    Another storm on Sunday, but we did get some work done. We fixed the water leak in the back which had been a bit of a mystery to figure out. We actually had it fixed on Saturday, but we woke up Sunday morning with it leaking badly from a different spot. Seems to be working now. Then we cleaned up the fire damage on the Guesthouse shower. We’ll rebuild it better and are thankful it didn’t cause more damage.

    Here we go with some pictures

    Power is back on after SDG&E replaced a powerpole on the supply lines to our house. This morning woke up to Ginger barking out the front door at two coyotes eating manzanita berries out front. What next? The Locust.
