Photos from our Eastern Sierra Trip
http://picasaweb.google.com/kentwilliams108/EasternSierraSept2010# Last week, we visited some of our favorite high elevation spots in the eastern Sierra mountains. we hiked above Saddlebag lake in the Twenty Lakes wilderness. we hiked up Rock Creek Canyon to Gem Lake. We visited the Bristlecone Pine Forest. it was cooler than back at village. Rated triple R: Restful, Relaxing, Refreshing. ...

how does all this work?
Posterous seems to have a lot of “interactability” with other social media. this is what I am trying to figure out. If correct, then this post should show up on facebook and twitter. let’s see if it does. let me know if you can see this. post a comment on twitter to me or on my facebook wall.

on way home now. back to smokey Northern CA. No end in sight with 100+ degrees..no heavy food today.
heading up to Seattle today to see some freinds and family….what no smoke in air up there? Hmmm…
today’s smoke and fire update. Continued hot and smokey..expect the same for remainder of week. Smoke drifting north to Columbia River (700 miles).

Just back from Sonora where I ran trains all weekend with freinds. Smoke better here. Hope we don’t get more lightening.
visibility only 1/2 mile due to wildfire smoke with no end in site. Like a war zone here. Stay inside. I am going south to get out of it.
Still only 1/2 mile visibility here due to wildfire smoke. Maybe next week but more lightening this weekend. Going south to get out of it.
Staying inside today mostly due to smokey outside.
Fire season here. Lightning strikes over weekend not only knocked out power for a while, but also caused almost 4,000 fires throughout Northern CA. Sunday was pleasantly warm and windy. Monday now is smoke filled. More like an August day, than June
glad to be home tonight watching the US Open…and eating ice cream! Go Rocco!
in bay area for weekend to run trains, oh yeah, might eat some good food and sleep also…
iPhone, the day after…Now what?
At least the skunks are gone, thanks to 90000 BTU cayenne, and just about all the other mammels too.
listening to WWDC Steve Jobs Keynote
Just returned from Palo Alto where we held video conference with Seattle. Bandwidth problems forced us to use plan S….this after 40 manhours of work.
Rats, The Battle still rages. Spent 2 hours closing up ways Mr. Skunk can get into back yard, AND more cayenne..Mr. Skunk still ate the birdseed on the ground..sigh
Putting out cayanne pepper to discourage skunks…hope to see some trains this weekend
been trying to figure out how skunk gets into our fenced back yard. tonight there are 2 of them. double yikes!!
what is that in back yard? Skunk? Yikes!!
spring yardwork completed, 4 squirrels relocated, Leo had 5000 viewers yesterday..how much better can it get?
Zeroing in on completion of mowing. Got the blisters to prove it too.

Monday in the rural foothills can be busy. Today it, yet again raining so I will catch up on inside chores while the weeds continue to grow. Hope the wildfire threat is reduced a little.
Curve ball of rain this weekend curtailed mowing. Soft and moist is nice but I am chomping at the bit to complete the fire clearing work.
Front “yard” is mowed (all one acre) and snipped. Back yard (2 acres) on Saturday. We only mow once per year when the grass is 3 feet high and dying. Don’t need a tractor. Going to new Indiana Jones movie now for a treat.
Mowing season once again here, albeit earlier than past 2 years. Good news is how cool it is outside, bad news is that it might rain..
Think I will go to office today and see what trouble I can cause.
Well, fun time to have a little bronchitis isn’t it? Need to NOT work in yard for a couple days…darn…
