So I was outside with the dogs yesterday, looked up and saw, what I thought, some cool looking clouds. That’s all really, but still sorting shit out here at the house. Need to throw away some of this stuff.

Yes, yes it is. Springs really is here. The temps are up into the 60’s, we hit 70F yesterday, the buds are popping, and.the Robins have arrived.

And, one last view from our house on Motherlode. 🙁

Yep, laters

Need to start sorting out stuff that has been moved. We have a storage space, but right now it’s a mess, and needs sorting so we can fit more things in that area.

Oh, and watch the Red Wings!

Here a shot from the drive into work yesterday at about 6:30 am.

Headed out today to get a cutter for Coax cable, I need to run cable to a couple places in the house. Found what I was looking for at Home Depot. Though later, after working with it for quite some time, I found that it only does half the job I need it to. Now I guess I’ll just have to rig something up to finish the job.

Anyway, it was such a beautiful day, with mostly sunny skies and nice puffy clouds, and I needed gas (I can get cheap gas at the Fred Meyer gas station), I headed over to Palmer to get some photos before heading to the old house. After some photo taking, I headed to the house for another load to haul to the new place.

And..

I sure miss you all at LTBB. Wish you were here.

Yeah, after some nice warm days we get this. Snow! It snowed only for about 2 hours, but it came down quite heavy. Now the sun is out. 🙂

After the Sun came out, so did the Moon.

We’re almost done. A few more loads, then the clean up. Then we’ll be done. The new place isn’t the greatest place, but it will allow us time to save for what we are looking for. This place, the new one, is above the landlords garage / shop. Not what is sounds like though. He keeps and restores old cars that he owns. There is a ’57 Chevy (this one looks just about complete), ’66 Lincoln Continental with suicide doors, and others. It’s a 3 bed 2 bath place with a shit load of storage. It’s not a bad place at all, just not anywhere I’d like to spend a few years in, that and it’s in the damn city of Wasilla limits.

In other news, we’ve had close to a record snow fall for April.

After having such great weather the past few weeks, sunny and in the 50’s, this was not welcome.

While packing for the move, our yard moose came by. You can just see the start of his antlers.

You lookin’ at me?

Snow fall during the move.

To all my friends back at LTBB; I miss you all!

Time has flown by again on me. Number of things are going on or have happened.

The other day on my way home from work I was waiting at a traffic light and I heard sirens coming. They were getting closer so I waited with everyone else at the light. Soon the was a pick-up truck coming across the intersection, it looked to be pulling over in my direction. Wrong! This truck is what all the sirens were about. A chase! I was stopped along the curb side of the road and as the truck pasted, just missing me, it bangs into the curb, tires blowing and flying off the rims. The driver kept going, sparks flying from the now bear rims. At least 5 police cars were chasing him down. He then plows over a street sign on his way up the road, but keeps going on his now beat up truck. Here is a link to the chase; Driver faces several charges after leading police chase.

Something else I found interesting, and funny at the same time.

Today I headed out with the dogs for a hike on this wonderful warm spring day. We went out to the Jim Lake area. Parked the Jeep and hiked up this ridge I’ve been wanting to explore for some time now.

Jim Lake, Chugach Mountains, and Knik Glacier on the far left.

Tell me, please tell me when Easter became a gift giving holiday? When, when did this happen? Today at work the place was a zoo with people buying things as gifts for Easter. IPod’s, MP3 players, movies, music, you name it, they were bought as gifts. Just another damn “Hallmark Holiday”, as I call them. Sure, there were those picking up hams and such for Easter dinner, but the other stuff, no.

Yesterday I had the day off so I headed up to the Hatcher Pass area with the dogs. It was a bit overcast, but still nice. We got up there and as soon as I let the dogs out it hit me. I suddenly felt really dizzy and just plain crappy. I let the dogs run for about 15 or 20 minutes then rounded them up and headed home for bed. Not sure what hit me, but I feel just fine now.

Couple views from the Hatcher Pass area.
