Bear Pictures


About two weeks ago I put out a trail camera out on a path at the edge of the field behind our house. Today, I went to check the camera and found it laying on the ground with the glass lens broken. Black bears are curious and are prone to biting cameras. I can fix the lens though. I had seen a different bear a couple of weeks ago in the yard!

Beaver Creek Sign

Yesterday I used the CNC machine to carve a sign for our driveway "arch". The sign is 10 feet long and it took the machine about 4 hours to carve it. After that, some black spray paint and sanding.





Shadow wanted to drive the 4 wheeler when we were hoisting it into place.

Spring Break 2012

Fred and I met Brandon in ATL then flew to Pensacola to go to Gulf Shores, AL to visit Fred's family for Spring Break.  The first day after we arrived we had thunderstorms so no visits to the beach on that day.  On Tuesday, I went to the beach by myself.  It was a very foggy cool day but it not deter me from enjoying beach time.

This is the back yard facing the golf course.

 Fred's Aunt Kathie has a three-wheeler that Brandon really enjoyed riding.  I got on it and was not able to ride it.  I would rather stick to the 2 wheel bike.

On Wednesday, we all went to the beach.  As you can see, Fred was trying to find a hidden treasure.  No luck though.

Thursday I went by myself to the beach and it was a very beautiful day.  I saw dolphins playing in the ocean and enjoyed watching all the people.

Some friends that hang out at the house.

This is a turtle that lives in the pond behind the house.  The family has him trained to come when they throw out bread crumbs.

On Friday, we went to Fort Morgan - an old military fort.
