Well....I'm back

What a ride this life has been. Wife leaving, depression, new city, new job and away from the big city.
I'll be updating this blog soon, so keep checking back.
I've got lots of pics and some time lapse I'll be posting too.   

Holy crap its windy!!

We've had 70 mph gusts out of the west today....no storm! If your reading this from Fort Worth, you'll be receiving a part of west Texas tomorrow. It's dusty as hell heading east!

We are at 6120 feet and the winds are ripping through the valleys and over the tops of the mountains. The power lines are whistling and dancing around. No power outages yet. I think it's going to calm down in the morning.

I've got a couple of unusual cloud formation pics I'll post tomorrow. The wind lifts over the mountain tops and condense. They are really cool looking.

I'm going to bed. The Cowboys wore me out. :) 

Well it's been a fun weekend. I drank Captain Morgan and Coke most of the weekend. :)

We went to the neighbors house for green chili stew and beans tonight. It was sooo good! I'm gonna make it when I get home. 

Got to get up at 5:30 to go to Monahans in the morning. Should be back home by noon.


I took a pic of the moon rising this evening. Tomorrow, I'll try for a better shot. It's way over exposed but you can see stars.

The Rangers did it!!!

I never thought I'd see the day! Now...if we can only work on those freakin Cowboys!!

Well, I finished one house today. No brick...all siding! Did I mention how much I hate to paint?
It sucks!

I'm really home sick and miss my girls. I'm thinking about going home in the next few days to a week.
The work is here for sure, you've just got to go get it. It won't come to you.
I feel like I'm chasing a premature dream. It's just bad timing. When Riley gets older and when Shauna is in a better position to take time off, that's when I'll go full time down here.

There is so much I miss. Volleyball games, laughing with Shauna, chasing Riley around the house, playing with Moose.

I'm still going forward with building here. I was hoping to get it done sooner being down here full time.
I may end up coming back to do some jobs I get, but only for a week at time. My home is in Fort Worth until the time is right.

I had to stop and take a sunrise pic on my way to work. Of course, you never quite capture the true beauty on camera. You need to see it for yourself. 

Well...I finally slept good last night....thanks to Lunesta. :)

I finished one paint job today. It was already half way done so it didn't take too long.
I had to to replace two tub stems today. The handle was stripped and it rounded the stem ends.

The weather was so nice today! The humidity was around 20% all day with a steady breeze.
I don't think it got above 72. Nice and cool in the shade.

I went to Lupita's for lunch and had some killer brisket tacos. I love this place.
They have great cheeseburgers and curly fries too.
Oh yea...they make their own lemonade. It's tart with the right amount of sugar.
Not too sweet. It's the best I've ever had.

I really hope you guys come down. I have so much to show you.

Here are some more pics for today.

This was the sunrise this morning going east on 166. You can barely see it, but there was a fog bank down low in front of the mountain. When you have beautiful scenery, I don't mind getting up early.

This cloud was forming on top of Blue Mountain. 

This is for Josh and Dad. I know how much you like snakes. He was laying on the main road coming into the resort. I'm relieved now that I don't have to buy a magnum cylinder for my Ruger single six.

.22 longs loaded with rat shot do the trick. I was worried it wouldn't be enough to kill em. One shot to the back of the head did fine.
