Hope this isn't indicating how the new year will be!

Well after things going along all nice and smoothly, last night, New Years Eve, started or ended, with a pipe breaking in the shower getting water not only all over the bathroom but more so all over everything and soaking the carpet on the floor in the room below. Of course this happens when I'm taking a shower!

So I get out of the shower and see the small lake near the door and after panicking, Stacy and I used towels to get the water soaked up in the bathroom and while I tracked down the origin of the leak, Stacy went to check out the room below. Quite the mess!

So we finally get to bed about 11 pm, and about 12:30 am I got a Happy New Years text from a friend in California. So that woke us up. Then at 5:00 am Stacy gets a call from the Sheriff's office about one of the kids on probation getting picked up for walking around in town at 4:30 am in 7 degree above temps! Not too smart!
Stacy got called after they couldn't get ahold of the regular Juvenile Officer, it was New Years! She'd been partying! But this was the third New Years in a row that we'd been woken up very early by a case of "stupid is as stupid does!"

This morning we got the access panels off and found the leak, a broken fitting, and we replaced and repaired that part of the shower and also fixed another small drip that was starting after over five years of use.

We got notice that Sandy made it back to L.A. after their week in Texas, and Sean sent a photo from his celebration in Hawaii last night as well as called this morning. And even Laura sent a text that her resolution would be to stay in touch better in 2011, we'll have to see!

Till next time, Tad

February 1st

Just as with the last post I wrote, Stacy is again down in Boise for meetings. This time two days of different types that she was wrangled into going for when the supervisor didn't want to go. These are some high end "department head" meetings and state wide commissioners from the state are there too. Stacy does feel a little out of place but she should do well in any event. It was winter again over the weekend, we woke up on Saturday to a light snow. It wasn't sticking then and it snowed all day without any staying on the ground. Overnight into Sunday it got cold enough and started to stay. Got almost two inches and it snowed all day yesterday too. Actually it was nice. Stacy had to drive over to Spokane (2- 1/2 hours away) for her flight to Boise and when she called she said it was slow going much of the way towards Coeur d' Alene then the snow became rain from before that area on. It is usually colder here than Sandpoint (because of the large lake there), and S...

Just an update

It is getting more like fall to winter now in our area. All the weather forecasts give the possible snow levels and altitudes in the recordings. The temps have been in the low 50's for the past week which is the normal temp range. It has warmed up at night to the low thirties from the low twenties of last week and earlier this week. Next week it's forecasting only low to mid forties! For the high temps! In looking at photos and the older blogs, last October 27th, 2009, was the first snow of the season back then. Will it snow around the same time this year? Stacy and I are both off work next week because our daughter Laura and her son, the only grand kid so far, will be flying out this Sunday for a weeks visit. Stacy and I are really looking forward to the visit. Last time Laura was here was in the summer of 2006 for a couple of weeks. Quite a lot has changed in her little family since then! And Tyler is 4 years old now so he might do more than sleep or cry as he did last visit!...

Its Fall again!

Although the date this says 'posted' is from a while back, I'm online to type about theses photos and get this posted for you to see today, October 12th! I'd uploaded these and the next post couple of photos fully intending to get right back to it in a day or so, it just didn't happen like that. Stacy's father took a trip to California to visit family out there and since he was gone (he's getting back tomorrow night) we've been very busy working at home as well as stuff going on at work. So it's been busy, busy, busy! Stacy left this morning to fly to Boise for meetings (again!) and will be back late tomorrow too. On to these photos; top one is actually on our property, just out back in the forest. The fern was just going yellow to gold then, on this fall morning, it is really golden and rust browns now just a couple of weeks later. Middle photo is a road a little over a mile away in the early evening that I liked with the late day sun on the Aspen ...
