4 Day Weekend

While Terry is back home visiting, I have been staying busy.

This is a time lapse camera I built for someone at the University of New Mexico who studies volcanoes. He will be using this, along with another I made, down in Chile next month to make videos of some eruptions hopefully.





Our weather here has been pretty mild. No snow in the valley..
Time for the horses to go back home. Hunting season ends Sunday.
Here are some pictures of the wood I have sawn so far. I think the saw will have paid for itself by the time the barn is built.
These are 6x6x16, 7x7x16 and 8x8x16 timbers. One 8x8x16 costs $130 at the local sawmill. The logs cost about $15 each, delivered. It takes about 15-20 minutes to saw a log.

Brandon's Basket ball game

Brandon had a basketball game last night that I was able to go see. It turned out to be a nail biter. They were down 14-2 going into the 4th quarter and came back only to lose 17-16. If you know me, I can not take pictures and watch the game at the same time. The pictures were during warm ups and the one of the videos is the jumpball to start the game. Sorry for the blurry pics.

Here are a couple of pictures taken tonight showing "star trails". These are 12-15 minutes exposures of the sky. The stars rotate around the North star.
The second was taken at dusk.

I have put some more time lapse clips on Vimeo. See them here.
