Hey guys,
Sorry about not many updates this week. I’ve been very busy with the new job. I’m pretty pooped when I get home. On top of that we’ve been busy with other things too.  This weekend is going to be a busy one also, so I may not get any updates up. I don’t think I’ve mentioned it to you guys, but I’m no longer living in Madison. I’m now living in Kenosha and we will be moving a bunch of stuff this weekend.

We are also going to see a show called Walking With Dinosaurs. It’s playing in Madison and I’m really looking forward to seeing it. Check out the link to it.

Last night we went to see Stomp. If you guys want to see a great show, go see this.It was pretty awesome.

I’ll try to get an update on things tomorrow, but I can’t promise anything.

The plow crew on the Tioga Road is now 32 miles from Crane Flat, they are at Pywiack Dome. The average snow depth is 3 feet. By the looks of the Tioga Pass Cam, it appears that plows have went through the east side too. I’m beginning to think that the pass may be open for Memorial Day this year.

I have a bunch of new pictures to show you guys, I just haven’t got around to getting them ready for the site yet. I’m going to try to get them up in the next couple of days. Hopefully I will get them them up this evening.

On Monday I start a new job. I just got hired on Tuesday. So things may slow down a little around here for a bit. I have a feeling I’m going to be pretty pooped in the evening until I get comfortable with the job.

Other than that, things are going well back here. It sounds like we’re in for another round of thunderstorms over the next few days. At the moment, there aren’t any severe storms forecast.

Been missing the Eastern Sierra the last few days. It started on Saturday when I got a letter from the Mono Lake Committee wanting me to re-new my membership with them. Later that evening I realized that Mono Cone would have opened last week and that if Tammy were still here we would have went up there over the weekend. I even asked Lynne if she wanted to make a trip to Mono Cone Then to top it all off, I was watching TV and up pops Mono Lake on a commercial. If that’s not enough, last night while watching TV the Nature Valley Granola Bar commercial from Convict Lake keeps showing up and the Travel Channel keeps showing shows about Yosemite. No wonder I’m missing the Sierra right now.

All of this is happening with Opening Day of Fishing being this Saturday. Sighhhh…….

It was a year ago on opening day that we put dad’s ashes at Twin Lakes. This year my mom, my brother Brian, and my cousin Norm will be fishing with dad at Twin Lakes. With dad there I know they’ll catch fish.

Wanted to also say Happy Birthday to John Muir today. The first Earth Days were held on John Muir’s birthday, but somewhere along the way they changed Earth Day to the 22nd. I personally feel that they should have left it on the 21st.

Hey everyone,
I’m still alive and kicking. I’ve been very busy the last week and a half. Lots of stuff going on. Also, though I’ve had an internet connection, I haven’t been able to log onto the site to update it ’cause I couldn’t remember my password. But that’s all taken care of. Lynne had dial up access, but now we have cable and I can get online with my laptop. So I should be able to update things again.

Just wanted to let you all know that everything is wonderful and good. I’ll get some regular updates going again this week.

I’m off for the weekend again. So no new post until Monday. Even though this didn’t get posted until Friday, I really  left on Thursday, (I’m a tricky fellow). There is a storm coming in Friday morning and I wanted to get to Lynne’s before it hit.

I’m hoping to get some pictures of the snow at this great park by her place called Petrified Springs. It’s a very beautiful place with lots of trees and a stream running through it. Reminds me of the Sierra. So wish me luck. By the time you guys read this, I should be there shooting.

I’m introducing Lynne to the Deadhead world this weekend. We’re going to see the Grateful Dead’s Bob Weir and his band Ratdog on Saturday night. This was going to be our first concert together, but we ended up going to see one last weekend. We saw REO Speedwagon last Friday. I tell you what, those boys can still rock. Should be a little different atmosphere this weekend though.

So I’ll talk to you guys on Monday. Hopefully I’ll have some pictures to show you.
