Bob’s Uncle Richard

Today we spent some time giving respect to the great life Louise’s brother Richard had lived.  That morning he was buried after an illness, but really after a long and great life.  He will be missed.  Rest in Peace Uncle Richard:

Picked up the beams for the deck rail bench in Temecula today. We love Vintage timberworks!

Zeus’ territory challenged

The other night Zeus was hissing and we were worried about a coyote. Yesterday I saw this cat coming around. It looks young.

Cabin Life – September 28, 2010

Small stuff getting done.  We work to get the place spruced up for our October visitors.  But don’t think we have fall here yet.  It was near 100 over the weekend.

Giegert Ranch Gate Repair

Today Rick (the Gate Guy) came up to remove old motors for Geigert main gate that keep shorting out when it rains.  He’s going to replace them with a motor mounted higher up so they wont sit in water.

Cabin Life – September 19, 2010

On Saturday night Tim and Ed came up to help us with connecting the transfer switch for our generator.  We got it hooked up.  Saturday night we shared a glass of wine from Shadow Mountain.  A Claret, a new wine that they are waiting for labels to sell.  It was a tasty bonus.

On Sunday, Tim had some friends from town, Paul and Jake, come up to check out our place and keep him from getting too bored while we did the work.  We got some giant sandwiches from Lake Henshaw for lunch.

We see a rocket launch from Vandenberg

Jim at Bob’s work at the Timken told him of  an Atlas V 501 – NROL-41 – Sept 20, 2010 rocket launch this evening.  It was supposed to be at 8:29 but by reading a live blog about the launch we found out it was at 9:03.  We got to see it!  Thanks Jim.

Shadow Mountain Landscape Job Finished

Laid flagstone walkway today. Got a bonus of a new wine Shadow Mountain is getting ready to sell. It’s a 2009 Claret. The way Alex describes it, it sounds complicated to make.
