Princess RavenThe creek through our place "went out" yesterday. If the ice wasn't gone entirely, it will be today. It starts downstream lower and progresses upstream day by day. I see "our" cranes regularly now. Really windy today.
I meant to tell you a little about Dave, the chef at Lakeside Lodge. They get some of Joe's hay every summer for their horses. Last night he said that with another couple of places he would have worked at every restaurant around Pinedale. For several years he was the chef at Halfmoon Lake and did a beautiful job there. Now he has leased the restaurant at Lakeside. The place looked really nice last night, perhaps new tables and chairs and a new floor, although I hadn't been in there for quite a while. Dave also plays the piano beautifully. Debbie is the one who cuts Joe's hair at the "beauty shop". They are moving over near to Sandra probably this summer and we will be neighbors. Best of luck with the restaurant Dave. Our meal was very nice last night and I'm sure the endeavor will be successful.
Here is interesting news at the wheat farm in Washington from Jackie: "Jay came home saying to make him a lunch as he was going back out to seed last night. He is using the GPS system we have for the tractor which allows him to seed in the dark because it tell him where he is all the time by looking at a monitor screen, so it does not matter if it is light or dark. Kirk is the one that has used the GPS the most so I told Jay not to screw it up and he said he got along just fine with it. He ran out of seed at 3:30 this morning so shut down and got to bed about 4:30. He was up for a bit this morning and then went back to bed and will go back to work about 7 pm tonight again when Kirk gets done for the day shift. If they seed day and night they should be done in a couple of days. " Can you believe how technology is changing everything these days, even on family farms. This is awesome. I can't believe they can go out in the pitch dark on those rolling hills and ravines on their place and not tumble the big tractor off someplace. I think Jackie worries about that too. Maybe on another blog I can tell you about his 4 wheeler escapade recently.
Last night during my wee hours wakefulness, I watched a fascinating TV program on Discovery about male and female brains and autism/savants. Another one I wished I had recorded. If you run across it be sure to watch. I am sleeping lots better but the hours are just off kilter. Guess it doesn't make any difference.
Another cute tax thought - Did you ever notice when you put the 2 words "The" and "IRS" together it spells "Theirs."
