Well, I did manage to get a little done on the house this weekend. I got the rest of this siding run on the clerestory wall. I needed to run a full 12' length of siding over the windows, which also has notches cut out for the rafters, and such a piece is very difficult to install by yourself. Having a second pair of hands was very helpful. I also got over half of this area caulked but didn't finish that or get the other side of the clerestory sided.
More and more wildflowers keep sprouting up around here. It's kinda funny that they seem to be getting closer and closer the the house. I don't remember seeing these flowers just outside the kitchen windows before. It's sort of like the house is drawing the flowers to it. I know, that sounds all woo-woo. Well, so what.! Sometimes I'm kinda woo-woo. I have a little more work to do on the weathervane tomorrow and then hopefully I can start packing for the trip and getting that in line. I so need this. It is all like a dream come true.

We all get a little woo-woo sometimes Annie, I think. Nice shootin.
Hey Mark! that's right! Woo-woo!
thanks!
Hey!
You will be heading out west at a perfect time. We were out there about a year ago and did bryce canyon and the grand canyon. A lot of people like bryce better than the grand. If you can fit it in it's less commercial than the grand. You are going to have tons of fun.
I stood on a corner in Winslow a long time ago but gave up when I didn't see any flatbed Fords drive by. Even if I had, the chances of it being driven by someone who would slow down to check me out are somewhere between slim and none. I was fresh from 30 days spent on the river without a razor or a mirror.
I was at that corner in 1980, Ed, but i was driving a 64 mercury, not a flatbed truck. :)
Hey Annie,
If you get close to central TX. give us a holler!
Have a safe trip!

YOU couldn't pull the drawstring back?
Hey Tammy! yeah, i think the weather and everything is going to be great! I will definitely tell Jack about Bryce Canyon. We both hate over commercialized stuff and he may know of it already. thanks!
Hey Ed! lol! that's great!
Years ago Jack did a broadcast from a certain corner there where they have actually erected a plaque; he wants to show this to me.
Hey V! I believe we are going out by way of El Paso but on the return trip home will probably go a more northern route. I will keep everybody posted!
Hey FC! that's exactly what Jack asked. On a 150 lb. crossbow, no. I could get it about 1/3 of the way but that was it. You have to place the front of the bow on the ground and bend over to draw it. That position is just impossible for me.
My recurve is easy to draw however.
Keep practicing!! Maybe ya'll can check out the Palo Duro Canyon:

My dad worked there with the CCC way back when. It's worth the trip.

The weathervane project has all sorts of woowoo surrounding it, such an omen---go with the flow, you're going to have a blast---if you breeze thru Grasshopper, AZ, take a pic---we have an inordinant curiosity about the place---and art in Sedona---am longing to head in that direction, too---live life, p
Hey Furt! thanks for the idea! I will definitely tell Jack about it. I know we are going a southern route on the way out but might can go by there on the way home.
Hey Page! you know, I had not thought about the weather vane in that light! you are right!!
Sedona is already on our list of 'must stops' for sure and I will see where Grasshopper is! sounds fun!
