Hey,
Thought you all might like to see our Christmas picture.

Jenny,

Boy is that little girl turning into a beautiful little lady. Nice to see all of you again. I really miss your and Brent's posts. Wish you all the best of everything and have a great holiday.

And You Thought that UFOs don't Exist!!!

THIS IS TRULY FREAKY................BUT MAKES SENSE NOW

Many of you will recall that on July 8, 1947, almost exactly 60 years
ago, witnesses claim that an unidentified flying object (UFO) with five aliens aboard crashed onto a sheep and cattle ranch just outside Roswell, New Mexico. This is a well-known incident that many say has long been covered up by the U.S. Air Force and other federal agencies and organizations.

However, what you may NOT know is that in the month of March 1948, nine months after that historic day, the following people were born:

Albert A. Gore, Jr.
Hillary Rodham
John F. Kerry
William J. Clinton
Howard Dean
Nancy Pelosi
Dianne Feinstein
Charles E. Schumer
Barbara Boxer

See what happens when aliens breed with sheep? Certainly hope this piece
of information clears up a lot of things for you. It did for me.

That was good Ron.

The picture of Jenny is nice.

I am working the farm to get ready for winter. Figured I'd pop in and say howdy.

Ron61 · #**5286** (**permalink**) 11-11-2007, 09:19 AM

Tru,

By getting ready for Winter I assume that means getting the snow plows and ice breaking equipment ready. We had a dismal day yesterday. It was cold and just dark and drizzled all day. This morning it is clear, sunny, and cold. I am starting to wonder if we will ever get any rain.

Was 33 F when I woke up this morning. The day before yesterday was a nice sunset. I took a bunch of photos, but could not decide which one was the best, so here are 5 in order of when they were taken. Temp was about 40 F but there was a 40 MPH wind. Very coooooooooold.

Edited because I deleted many pics from my gallery.

trularin · #**5288** (**permalink**) 11-12-2007, 08:03 AM

Nice shots of the sunset Warren.

Red sky at night, sailor's delight.

The seas will be good for that day.

The lift has a sprung a huge leak, I am in for some major work.

Ron61 · #**5289** (**permalink**) 11-12-2007, 08:07 AM

Really nice pictures Warren. Tru, where did the lift spring the leak? I thought it was electric. If it is leaking electricity put it in a rubber bucket to use later.

I once told a woman that worked for the telephone company here that was how they stored the electricity over at the dam and she believed me. Until she went on the tour and asked to see the room with the big rubber buckets.

Ron

trularin · #**5290** (**permalink**) 11-12-2007, 10:18 AM

It uses a electric motor to run the hydraulic pump.

She was leaking big time on Saturday.

I suppose I am gonna have to get into it on Wed. I hate fixing things.

Ron61 · #**5291** (**permalink**) 11-12-2007, 10:27 AM

Yea, working on anything that has hydraulic fluid can be a mess and pain in the A**. But if you wait a few days it will freeze and you won't have such a mess.

Ron

Will you please send me a bucket of electricity. I'll send you a bucket of steam.

Ron61 · #**5293** (**permalink**) 11-12-2007, 01:14 PM

Warren,

Maybe I could send you a few buckets of fuel oil out of the San Francisco Bay. I see our Senator Feinstein got herself on TV to ***** about it had spread to much, but she sure never seems to have any answers when asked how they could have stopped it any faster. Also why isn't she asking why the boat hit the bridge?

As for the electricity, they have a rubber fence around the storage area now? 9/11 really messed things up over at the dam.

Ron,

Check out these trees in the front yard of this house.

Its right on the NW tip of the island, and the constant wind has bent the trees over. The house is huuuugh, and its right across the street from where I took the sunset photos. I checked out the house on-line, and the assessed value is $4.5 million. The house lot is 0.84 acre and it does have 2 tennis courts in the back yard.

Rained all day yesterday and still raining now. UGH. Supposed to clear up at noon and tomorrow will be great golfing weather! Yea!

Ron61 · #**5295** (**permalink**) 11-13-2007, 10:09 AM

Warren,

Nice picture but with a house of that value I would be a little concerned about that one tree. Sounds as if it is in your mad money range. Why don't you buy it and use it as your vacation place. Replace the tennis courts with a huge garage just for all the cars you will collect.

I watched the show on Jay Leno's new garage that is all solar powered last night and what a garage. I think they said around 18,000 square feet but I was looking at the cars and not paying much attention to the ramblings. This is what they are going to use as a model to encourage all people to build this way. If I had the millions that he spent on that place, I would build a lot smaller garage and then get a few super cars for it. But it is nice and a marvel of technology.

Ron

I'd have trouble just paying the taxes on that place. There are about ten houses in that area along the coast and all of them are worth $4 million and up.

Went fishing the other day. I did not catch anything, but my brother-in-law caught a cold.

Ron61 · #**5297** (**permalink**) 11-13-2007, 10:26 AM

Warren,

Our weather here the past week has been lousy. Mostly overcast and windy, with some heavy mist at times but no rain. It is so dark outside now that it should be midnight. I hate days like this as it is miserable outside and I get bored to death staying inside all the time. I swear if I still had the Cobra I would take it out just to watch the looks on the faces of the people that saw me driving it in this type weather. They are already convinced that I am crazy so I may as well go for insane. Then maybe I could get into the mental health care program. Once I got into that I could become a politician.

Depression

Politically incorrect...and yet somehow, in today's world, darkly amusing.

Subject: Depression

I was feeling a bit depressed the other day, so I called the Help Hotline.

I was put through to a 'call center' in Pakistan.

I explained that I was feeling suicidal.

They were very excited at this news and wanted to know if I could drive a
truck or fly an airplane....

Ron

Ron61 · #**5299** (**permalink**) 11-13-2007, 10:35 AM

Tru,

Since you do so much planting this one is for you. If you treat Youkon nice he may even go along with it.

Ron

trularin · #**5300** (**permalink**) 11-13-2007, 11:16 AM

Ron, there is too much lawn even for a few dogs.

Dang, I think it is going to reach 60 today.
