You have guessed right. Yes here I am again in the same month. I noticed lately that I have had some rather negative over tones to my reports. You know the kind of thing that one dose when he is not gainfully occupied with good things going on all about himself. Well I am sorry about that.
This past month or so we have had some interesting goings on. On a fairly regular bases My nice Chris Capple has been down loading some family history. It happens that most of it is about My Mother. There are pictures and life stories as of course my mother remembered's it. I had forgot how difficult life was for them. You must remember that these stories begin in some cases in the late 1800's. There are thing that went on then that we only shake our heads at and say how? I might ad that things didn't change a great deal un-tell some time in the 1960's. I looked at some old photos I had from my child hood and compared them to the life my mother lead and my grandmother lead. One thing becomes very apparent and that is the simpleness of the life we had. Another was that fact that we lived so much from hand to mouth. That is to say that there was rarely any thing extra and more than likely than not there was not enough. So many time that I often think of how in a world like we have today could such a simple life ever be. Yet I know that some of you have been in third world countries and have witnessed first hand the poverty that is there. I suppose the thing I am driving at is that I have much to be thankful for. I look at all the beautiful children each of you have and the great opportunities that lay before you and them. I have only one peace of advice. Try to keep your life's simple.
Hope you all have a great New Year.

It has been some time since I last posted anything so here goes. The weather here sucks. This past week we have been in the dddeeeepppp freeze with day time highs at about 18 degrees and over night lows -14 degrees. To add even more misery to the situation we had about 20 inches of snow. From -14 to 102+ degrees is like this wild carves that just goes bad with my bionic arm. Lasts summer we were leaving home and driving to SLC to pour mud at 3:45 am to beat the heat. It was well over 100 in the mid afternoon. Our concrete which we would pour at 5:14 am was set in about one and a half hours. Our work day was pretty much done by 1:30. So I am raging on about this cause in Denmark this past week we all know the topic of the earth warming and changing. I don't KNOW much but I don't see it that way. Utah has always had this wide degree variation .
So on it goes and the real driving force as I see it is MONEY and OF COURSE GREEEEED. Big fat Al Gore and his Carbon Points that he buys is carbon footprint down. HA HA. As the reverend AL Sharpton would say Shame on You AL GORE. The hole thing reminds me of watching so many pig in a pig pen when we would go to feed them. The pigs would battle for the food and in the proses get mud and dirt in the food which made it look like something sloped from a manure pit. Of course they ate it up anyway in the discusting way that pig do all the time oinking and grunting in selfcontent. Complety oblivious to the fact of the growtesc slop that was spilling from the trough and making the sty what it was, a waller of filth and bad odor.
So here are some of the pic for this past week
