A New Year, A New Name

Rochelle's idea wins out.
Thanks for the input and comments.

Life Happens While I'm.....................!

Will be laid to rest, and a new title lives on.

I've been slow at this, my computer got a bug in the operating system and crashed and only way to get around it was to load Vista, and get every thing set back up again.
I'm almost back were I was about 2 week ago.

Snow On The Road

This was taken just before Christmas on I-5 going to Grants Pass.
Looks worse then it really is.

Family And Christmas Go Together

We had a great time, everyone made in.
Ben, Molly and John, and Dominic, Robyn and Paul and Alex, Sam, Daniel.

This year we had the grand babies, this adds a new element to the season, that is a good thing I mean.

It made it hard on the parents, but they were glad to make the effort, and we all took turns holding the little guys.

This is the best picture I got, the other were dusted out for what ever reason.

The weather was snowing type, and it snowed on and off the two days or so of Christmas.
We have had more day of snow this year then years pasted.

I would say about 5 days of snow fall, at this time.
Most years we get, about 3 days of snow.
This is not piles of snow but, just days when the snow would stick, and build up, from 1/2 to 1.00 inch.

New Years Eve 2009

We stayed home this year and had and great evening.
The Ford boys, had fun to.

What Happened ????

This guy had to be going 100 mph!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

> Math Question: A Backhoe weighing 8 tons is on top of a flatbed trailer and heading east on Interstate 70 near Hays, Kansas. The extended shovel arm is made of hardened refined steel and the approaching overpass is made of commercial-grade concrete, reinforced with 1 1/2 inch steel rebar spaced at 6 inch intervals in a criss-cross pattern layered at 1 foot vertical spacing. Solve: When the shovel arm hits the ove rpass, how fast do you have to be going to slice the bridge in half?? (Assume no effect for headwind and no braking by the driver...) Extra Credit: Solve for the time and distance required for the entire rig to come to a complete stop after hitting the overpass at the speed calculated above? Yes, you can neglect friction. * * *
