Brothers in Arms

My brother and I a few years back (5?) If you can't tell who is who then you really don't know us :) Gee, who says t-shirts don't say anything about your personality?

Looks like a Blue Sky day

Well the birds aren't exactly singing and the flowers blooming but we do have the first blue sky dawn in many weeks. Obviously snow still sits on the ground in places but we actually had a little rain and sleet before an inch or so of the soft stuff last night.

Star Power

Granted, it was only her little brother, but the leading lady seemed to like being presented with flowers after the performance.

Looks like Seafood Tonight!!!

Even in her younger days the Littlest Princess was always ready to try something new--how about some fresh water shrimp! Very weird looking of course, but certainly edible :)

Future High Rollers

Things are pretty quiet here out west with the temperature cold, overcast skies, and crunchy snow still in abundance. I pulled out the archives a group of teenagers playing the time tested of game of Monopoly in a cabin in Arkansas after a long day paddling on the Buffalo River.

Big things come in big packages

Almost had to open the sunroof and strap it in the passenger seat :)

A Boy and his dog....the early days

Back when the lad and young pup both could fit easily on a small couch. Today is a different entirely story of course....

Ready, Aim, Fire!!!

Looks like the photographer is getting ready to be pummeled in snowballs--though I believe the guy in the red coat is firing blanks....

Like some of us that have been around computers a while, I have a stash of old, small or broken hard drives (or various combinations of the three). I recently purchased another usb drive dock, but along with reading the more modern SATA drives it has the power/cable combinations for the older IDE drives (2.5" & 3.5"). So I'm pulling pictures, drawings and such off of these drives to archive.

Head in the clouds

Had some really thick cloud cover that dropped to the valley floor overnight as the temperature drop into the teens. Sunrise gives Arc Dome a view of the tops of the clouds in the valley below.

Early Morning at the Mountain

Snow is still on the ground--thickly in somes places like my driveway.

Coffee Break

Just letting a certain little princess know that coffee and kisses go good in the morning :)

Slopes are open!!!

What a difference a few weeks make...aptly named Snow Mountain as seen from Hwy 95 at the Las Vegas northern city limits.

Moving at her own pace..

The photo metaphorically shows the composure that guided the oldest daughter easily through her first college semester---even with a sadistic Honors literature professor whose childhood idol was John Houseman.

Great White Trophy Hunter

Looks like the young lad and Peyton Manning think the same---things look better on a Sony, or at least World of Warcraft and Xbox 360s do :)

Ready for the New Year

Demonstrating the proper way to wear a recent Christmas gift, the littlest princess appears ready to bring in 2010 in style!

Last gingerman standing

My effigy is all smiles at not being eaten...yet.

Every dog has his day

Our family lap dog was anxious to open his present this year on Christmas morning. A keen sense of smell kept the present from going under the tree with the others because in years past he would just lay in front of the tree for weeks waiting for the big day.

The BAM Team going over strategies for the morning...

Looks like they've been very good this year too :)

Gingerbread family ready for Christmas
