Crane on the fence

Walked outside to water the lawn and was surprised to find this huge bird on the fence.  Surprisingly, he let me get pretty close, I didn't think he would.  The odd thing is that two days earlier a dove flew into the garage and sat on the roof of my car as I mowed the lawn.  I didn't see him until I came into the garage to put up the lawn mower.  The dove also did not fly away as I approached, as a matter of fact, I had to push him gently so that he would fly out of the garage.

Ancient machine

Sydney is fascinated with an ancient machine from another era.  The kids have found an old 'underwood' type writer I have had for many years.  I guess there is something to say about the physical contact and direct line of creation the type writer provides which seemingly is lost when using computers.

Pops with tots

I went to meet Logan at school for a dad-only event. A time for dads to spend some recess time playing and eating a popsicle - Logan ate his and mine.

no popsicle for you!

Building implosion

Last Sunday we drove into town to watch a building implosion. Very impressive.  Not the best viewing position but, what are going to do?
Check out the video. . . I wished I would have zoomed-in.

Logan: rocket man

Today we launched Logan's rockets in the field next to the house. After we launched the white rocket, we had to track over to the crash site - we must have walked a mile and a half.
