Linda is having surgery to replace one of her bad knees today.
Cabin Life – February 24, 2011
Work continues on the road. Nicki’s guys have pipe up to the second tank, but it’s not connected and they still have to run the float wires to the main tank. We want this so if for some reason our radio float switch fails the road will not have to be torn up again. Next week they are supposed to get a tractor and fill in the ditches and put some gravel on the road. Dennis worked on the road, but the ditches are too big to have our tractor fill the in.
We found the Auction house. It is the rental unit for Pawlicki. It’s supposed to have a $25,000 starting bid. We also noticed on the website that Pawlicki’s house in in Foreclosure. Even the values they were selling at seemed a fair price, around $150,000.00. Since Ed Fogal was looking to buy a rental property in the area we told him about it, but we never heard back from them. Here’s a link to the auction.
This weekend it is supposed to be really cold, with snow levels to 2,000 feet. It’s the talk of the town at Ramona Post Office. We know our family and friends back east really couldn’t care, and certainly wouldn’t be looking forward to it.

Snow
Ginger and Dennis woke up at 6:00 a.m. to a dusting of snow. Woke up to hear it pouring rain at 4:30 a.m. , but it must have swithed to snow shortly after that. It looks like its going to be sunny today, so the snow will be gone yet this morning. I was able to make it up the road after work yesterday with my truck. We hope they get the pipes done soon, they are calling for more rain later in the week. No complaints though, we love getting the rain.
Cabin Life – February 19, 2011
Big rain storm yesterday. We had 3.6″ in one day. Since all the tractor work and digging in the road, the rain made the road very slippery. Both Dennis and Bob got stuck in the mud, but luckily the tractor made it easy to get out. Friday night, the night of the storm, we both parked down at Second Chance and walked up the hill in the dark and rain. It was really roughing it, but fun at the same time. Sunday we may get snow.

Here’s a video of the creek after the rain:
And a short video of a neat spring that comes after a lot of rain on the trail we walk with Ginger:
Rainstorm
We are expecting another good rain tonight and tomorrow. There is even talk of some chance of snow tomorrow. Dennis worked on the road yesterday after both he and Bob got stuck in the mud coming up on Wednesday. It looks like both of us may be walking up the road in the rain today! Bob gets home late after working “Wizard of Oz”. No work has been done on putting in the new pipes in the road after Tuesday this week. Looks like it is going to take awhile.
Mmm Good
Home made strawberry shortcake with chocolate whipped cream.
Sunset and Strawberries
We went into Temecula this afternoon, and we picked up a flat of sweet strawberries on the way. We had a beautiful sunset this evening. Now its time to make strawberry shortcake.
Breakfast on the patio
Bob whips up another great breakfast.
Weekend Visitors
Ed, Linda, Bob, and Winnie came up Saturday afternnon for a visit. Bob was not able to get his car up the hill, we had to go and pick them up with the truck. We grilled some steaks and had a few cocktails. We had coffee by Brenda’s firepit this morning after our hike. Its another weekend of of 70 degree weather, I don’t know how we make it through!!!
Temperature Rising
We tried to take picture at 1 degree F, but temperature was on the rise before breakfast at another Diner and Dive showcase “Colossal Cafe.” Last night we went out to dinner for Ron’s birthday at “Ena’s“. The food was delicious!
