Tip-toe through the tulips

This weekend Leslie went out to her cousin's wedding in IF (Idaho Falls for all those of us not from SE Idaho.) She flew out with Katie to Salt Lake on Thursday and then drove up with her sister Lindsay. The wedding was Friday morning and then they had a reception that night. She had a good time and got to see a lot of her family and distant relatives that she hadn't seen in a long time.

Saturday she came back to Provo and along the way stopped in to see Travis and Kelly. Marlo and Brandon were both there with their famlies, so she was able to visit with them as well. That night they had a party to celebrate Greg's birthday and Michael's mission call. He was called to the Belo Horizonte East mission. (Insert your own Brazil and Celestial Kingdom comparison here.)

Sunday she flew home, ate lunch and then everyone crashed for a well deserved nap. I managed to not burn down the house while she was gone and even kept Tyler and Aimee alive. Thanks Kevin and Lisa for the help on Friday.

The weather here in Denver is amazing!!! It has been in the 70's and 80's and feels great. I'm trying to grow some new grass out front in bare spots and have to water it twice a day so that it doesn't dry out.

Have a great week!

It's Gone!!!!!!

Today's big news - the stump is no more. Several months ago I called a guy down in the McCoy Apartments about grinding the the stump. He said he would look at it and give me a price. He kept promising to look at it and finally when I tried to find him again he was gone. So, I called Wilson Tree Service. They said they were busy and it may be a while until they could get at it. A couple of days later they came by and gave us an estimate. I gave them the go-ahead and yesterday he called and wanted to know if he could do it that afternoon. I met him at the house and he checked it out and said he would be there about 3:00pm. I suddenly realized that we had not marked the underground utilities. He said not to worry he wouldn't go that deep (famous last words). I left to meet with Kurt Schwendiman about some new water meters we are putting on the churchs. When he got in the pickup I asked how deep the water lines were and he said about 30". I said, "how about the gas", and he said, "about 12-18". When I told him why he said, "I'll take care if it". He dialed up his buddy at Avista and said he needed a gas line marked in 15 minutes. The guy said, "no problem". When I got home in about half an hour it was all marked. You just have to know the right people. It took the guy about an hour to grind it and it cost $235.00. In my mind it was worth it. This morning I started at about 9:00am and hauled probably 30 wheelbarrow loads of "stuff" out. I put it along the south side of the house, back by Ben, and finally - behind the junipers against the back fence. I shaved off he grass around the hole and washed all the chips in. Now I need to haul in about 1/2 yard of dirt. That's another day. I did find a 10' Autumn Purple Ash at Crossroads Nursery for $52.00 dollars. We'll probably get that in a couple of weeks. I plan to plant it in the center of the little grass circle between the old stump and the mound where the Mugo Pine was.
The weather has been nice. It was in the 70's Friday but today it clouded over and was in the 60's. That was nice while I was hauling the shavings.

Seth and Lacey will move in at the end of next week. It will be fun to have them here (more smores on the deck).

Mom gave her big Power Point presentation on Wednesday. I looked at it on the computer and it looked very professional. She will be through with this class in a couple of weeks. That's about it for now.

Love, Dad and Mom

Pond Hopping

A few weeks ago I sumbitted my thesis to be presented at a Linguistics Conference in June. Oh and the conference happens to be in England. So I waited and waited for them to hear from them
and I convinced myself five times over that they wouldn't want to hear about my paper. But they do! So I'm going to England (Newcastle, to be precise, which is in the north-east part of England, really close to Scotland) at the end of June. And if my department will pay for part/all of my trip, Trav might even get to come too. Needless to say, I am very excited.

This means I had better finish my thesis up, eh?

Anybody want to join us?

Boise Trip

Kimbre and I took a little trip to Boise this weekend. 33mpg in a car that doesn't sound like a jet taking off is kinda nice. We stayed with Mandy and Drew (Kimbre's sister/bro in-law). Kimbre completed her practical exam to get her Idaho hair license. While she was doing her test, I had a nice hour long stroll through Cabela's and fell asleep reading in Barnes and Noble. We completed out trip with a visit to Coasta Azul (tasty Utah mexi burrito/salad place) and some Krispy Kreme doughnuts.

Kimbre should get the results from her test back in about 2 weeks, so standby until then. She is excited about getting to do real hair cuts.

I made my first solo arrests this week on my own. I stopped a guy with no plates who just kept on driving. He didn't want us to tow his ride so he drove it to his girlfriend's place. I was calling out the action, and next thing you know four more cars showed up to back me, in what could have been a pursuit... at 35mph, with stops and signaling. He went to jail for a suspended license and got a little extra tacked on for not stopping.

Our computer's weird

Every time I've ever tried to post something from our computer it has gone all weird and I have ended up having to restart the thing, except for tonight. So, I'll be posting our midweek post for all ya'lls.
We are officially unemployed as of last Friday and loving every minute of living off all you hard working tax payers. I've started packing a little bit. I had a schedule in my head of what I wanted to get done each day, but since I didn't write it down, I'm still on track. I'm a couple days behind in my head...(enter rude comment here.)
Today is our 3rd Anniversary and boy do we know how to celebrate. We went to Wal-Mart and bought Weston a new tricycle. He's glad we got married.
That's about it, we'll be leaving for Seattle in about three weeks. Seth is trying to get a job at Costco, I'm hoping it works out.
Take care.

The Sixth Zirker Child

Due to the current denver blizzard, I have finally figured out how to post on the blog.
Next step, post a picture.

No Monkeys Here

Kelly, thanks for posting the Christmas pic. Mom and dad, maybe you could do a picture of the week. Like, Brant, nothing new is going on here. Lisa is just getting fatter by the day. Mom, thanks for offering to come down. I took Braxton to a baptism with me this afternoon. I also had all three kids at church, since the flu bug hit Lisa this morning. Some of Lisa's girl friends took her out last night for dinner. After that they got pedicures at Wal-Mart. It was Lisa's first and she loved it. The guy did a great job of painting flowers on her toe-nails (and he wasn't even gay).

Not Much Goin' On Here

Not much new around here. This was a picture Les took a couple of weeks ago when they went to the zoo. Kind of shows our Sunday, or as Leslie notes, the typical male.

This week was "Sick Fest 2007" at our house. Katie got sick with the stomach flu at the start of the week. We got her all better and then Friday night Aimee got sick. It hit me Saturday morning and then struck Tyler that afternoon. After a good night of sleep, we are all doing better. We now have to wash and sterilize the whole house.

Other than that, things here are good. Spring is in full force. The grass is turning dark green, and the bulbs are in full bloom.

Have a great week!

Brant

The Sugar Beet Man (Quincy, Washington)

Kelly is doing something for her mother for Mother's Day and wanted some pictures of Travis as he was growing up (he's still not all the way there). It was a lot of fun to reminisce about past activities as Mom was digging out the pictures. That is one of them that Kelly posted on her Blog. I hadn't realized how much your kids all look like you when you were their age.

We got a new stake president this morning. I have been working for the past several weeks on a system to broadcast stake conference out into the Internet and then recapture it and show it in one of the other buildings. We tested the system Tuesday night and it worked great. This morning I had bishop's meeting with my ward and then went over to the town stake center and turned the camera on and then went to the Mountain View building and set things up. At 9:00am the stake computer specialist came and connected his laptop and found the broadcast and put it up on the screen. It looked pretty good. All was in order so I returned to my ward and finished the day. We found out after church that the new stake president is Steve Pennington. Most of you may not know him but he is an orthopedic surgeon and was a councilor in the student stake presidency. One if his councilors is a new person also in the 3rd ward and we don't know who the other councilor is yet. I don't know how Uncle Chuck feels about it but I would think it is kind of a relief after 9 years. I guess the video broadcast on the Internet went well although Grandpa said it was a little "scratchy" to listen to.

When Travis called the other day he mentioned setting up a new blog for the "cousins" (Langeveld, Backlund, Zirker, & Richards). I think that's a good idea. I have been a little reluctant to put our blog info out - not wanting it to get too corrupted by too many people.

Matt and Kimbre came down Monday and we took them and Seth and Lacey out to dinner for Matts birthday. I think Matt had been saving up his appetite for this occasion. They ended up staying the night and went home the next morning. I think they are in Boise this weekend so Kimbre and take her test to get Idaho to accept her cosmetology schooling and be licensed to work in Idaho. This will allow her to move from retail sails to actually working a "chair" in the shop where she has been working. They really like their new car and coming to Moscow or going to Boise is a lot nicer and cheaper.

I have been doing some yard cleaning and tree and shrub pruning the last couple of weeks and want to clean out under the fort. Here is a list of things I would like to get rid of and am wondering if any of you want to keep any of this:

• 4 lawn mowers - in various state of repair


• 3 small bikes


• 2 tricycles


• 1 wire basket (similar to a shopping cart)


• 3 wheel barrows


• 3 to 4 Tonka toys (trucks and graders)


• 1 bent Ranger axle (Travis ?)


• 1 bent Ranchero fender (Kevin ?)


• 1 walk behind fertilizer spreader


• various tires and wheels


• 1 wash tub
• (I almost forgot - 1 cat/wild animal trap)

If any of this stuff sounds like yours or that you would like, let me know. I'll probably start hauling it out next week.

Mom has been pretty intense with the computer developing her Power Point presentation for her class. The end of the semester is fast approaching.

That's about it for now. I sure enjoy reading your blogs.

Love, Dad and Mom

Where's Tyler?

Can anyone find Tyler in this picture? Or at least his look-alike?

Happy Birthday Jamie!

We're not sure if you'll read this in time for your birthday...but we thought we'd send you some birthday wishes anyway. Hope it was a good one!

Ty 1- Leslie 0

Sometimes it gets a little rough around here when it is bedtime. Les was putting Ty to bed when he jumped off a chair and one of his flailing arms caught Les right in the eye. She didn't think anything else about it and went to sleep. When she got up this morning and was putting on her make-up in the mirror- "Surprise!" This is her first shiner. Now if we could just think of a better story- say a bar fight or something exciting. Matt got any ideas???

Brant

A Little News

Well, it's official. I am out of the training program and out on my own. If/when we get a digital camera I'll post some pics of my car and me looking tough in uniform. My first night was pretty quiet. I just answered calls (barking dogs, domestics, 911 hang-ups, etc.) and only had time to stop a few cars. It's a little weird not to have someone over on the passenger seat to rely on or turn to for the answers. It was a year ago March when I started work as a marine deputy.

Kimbre is scheduled to take her state exam to cut hair next Monday in Boise. We'll be taking a quick trip on my days off, Sun-Mon-Tue. She has an offer to work a chair part time in the store she is currently working at now, and is excited to put her skills to use and get out from behind the cash register.

I had to speak in the Wallace Branch on Sunday when our ward's high council man asked me to come along. Remember Dante's Peak?? I got off work at 4:30am, printed off some talks at work, grabbed some tacos in the Del-Taco drive thru, came home for a shower and shave, then fell asleep on the couch from 6:00 to 8:00am. At 8:00 I got up, got dressed and met my ride in the church parking lot, still without a written talk. I wrote my talk in the car on the 45 min drive out there and come game time I rattled off a 20 min. talk on dealing with adversity and trials. I was a little tired and sort of dozed through most of Sunday school. No snoring or violent jerks though.

Thanks for the birthday phone calls. We're down in Moscow now for a night on the town and some cake/ice cream.

No Time Tonight

I love reading every one's blogs but tonight I don't have time to write much. A couple of weeks ago I read The da Vinci Code and loved it. Friday night while we were at the mall I talked to the guy in Walden Bookstore about other books Dan Brown had written. He recommended Angels and Demons which is a "prequel" to The da Vinci code. Well, I'm 400 pages into it with 300 to go. Two Cardinals are dead, two others missing and they still haven't found the gram of antimatter hidden under the Vatican that is going to blow it up in just over two hours.
Gotta run.
Dad

April flowers

Only two more days of class! And then I'm done forever! Or at least until I start pining for school again. I imagine it will be quite a while this time, since I've never been so excited to be done with a semester in my life. Trav's excited too-he thinks I've been grumpy the past 4 months. Me, grumpy? Never.

As you can see, my tulips are blooming. I planted 94 bulbs last fall (Trav grudginly dug about half of the holes when my wrist started to ache). I love spring. I think if I could pick a never-ending season, it would be spring.

Pretty in Pink

It Sunday night, and I just got done with all my radio stuff and gave Bishop Miller a phone call. I just wanted to tell him thanks again for lighting the spark that got me into radio. I'm having a blast! Tonight during our local stake net I listened to a guy, who had his license for over ten years, run the net and state that this was the most he has talked on the radio in ten years. I then listened to two other "newbies" talk about new antennas they were creating out of 25 foot measuring tapes for a mutual activity on Tuesday night. Finally, I heard a lady check in who had just received her vanity callsign, which was her dad's old callsign. She was talking about how cool it was to check in using a callsign she grew up listening to her dad use. I couldn't help but call Bishop Miller (W7QWH) and say thanks. Enough of that topic.

Last night was Leslie's yearly big showcase for the dance academy in Fort Collins. They were a little light on singers so she sang several solos while the groups danced behind her. It was fun to watch four month pregnant Leslie dance and sing "Jump, Jive and Wail" and K.T. Tunstall's "Suddenly I See" (edited of course.) Katie had fun seeing mommy up on stage and Aimee sang along to the songs she knew. Sometimes I wish we lived closer, Aimee would just eat up the singing and dancing classes.

Did every one else get Grandpa's letter six times between yesterday and today? I guess Travis is now the favorite Grandchild.

Brant

Lisa's Turn

Yesterday was a sunny Saturday and somehow we managed to have a day home with Kevin. After playing basketball with Erik at 6AM he continued to check things off his honey-do list until nearly everything was completed, including Tilex-ing the bathroom! He worked hard becuase he's "nesting" he's very anxious for this baby to arrive. Okay, perhaps it is me who is nesting. 6 weeks just isn't very far away. The house is slowly coming together and losing the excess junk that we just don't have room for anymore. It's hard to set two cribs up in one room.
THe high councilman over youth conference (who is also an OB/GYN) just found out tonight that I was due at the end of May. He said in a very loving manner, I'm dumb and Kevin's stupid for accepting this calling. If he would have known I was pregnant he wouldn't have called us. And I replied, that's why we didn't tell you! We really enjoy doing things like this...even through the road blocks!
Other than that the home front is pretty quiet. Spring is picking up with work so we'll see Kevin less and less. That's always an exciting time of year. Yippee! Wish we had some fun pictures to attach...sorry!
The Kevin Zirker Family

Five days left...

We haven't posted in a long while, so I thought I would take a moment while the boys are enjoying s'mores on the deck, to say hello. The big news of the hour is that we only have five days of work left and then we are done with Creekside! We are very excited to be finished. I am trying hard not to get trunky, as I have work that needs to get done before I leave. I am so excited though! No more sleepless nights worrying that someone might fall on the ice or dealing with flooded apartments while on "vacation."

The above pictures are some that we've taken recently of Weston. I was in charge of creating the golfing booth at our Stake's Primary Easter activity. It was really fun. I think Weston enjoyed his first Easter egg hunt. He did not enjoy the Easter Bunny. But then again, I was scared of the Easter Bunny. They had a dingy costume with a big scary head, so we didn't push him too close.

The other picture is just a random one, I think it's pretty cute.

Not much else is going on. I've actually been a little sick with the ol' pregnancy. A little different from last time.

I have one last comment to make concerning a post from a ways back. Kelly once posted a shout out to Matt concerning "blue darts." May I share my own experiences with the dart. I once had a roommate affectionately named "Smelly Melly." She and my other roommates got quite curious about the dart so they set out to light one up. For days they tried and never could get anything to work out. One night they finally did, I say they, because it took two people. Well things fired up and a short while later there was a knock at the door. We answered it to find a can of refried beans and lighter sitting on the door mat. A note was attached that said, "Light up for hours of fun." We never figured out who left it there, but we did realize that we had left the window blinds open during the occassion. All I have to say is, you can't be wearing jeans, yoga pants work much better. But not your favorite yoga pants, because they will also catch fire.

That's it from Moscow. I'll see ya next time.

Nice Hat (Too, Two, 2)

Here it is. I had to go over to Grandpa's and have him scan it and send it to me.

Have a nice day.

Dad

Nice Hat

How does everyone like my hat? The funny thing is I didn't even mean for it to line up that way I was just posing and it turned out that I have a large bell above my head. Maybe we should put this pic on the wall and keep it there for all to see? We too enjoyed our trip to Denver. We left in the middle of a snow storm and it snowed all the way to Vail. Interestingly enough it was actually 5 degrees warmer on top of Vail pass than it was in Denver. After Vail it was rain here and there but nothing very bad. While in Denver it was fun to see everyone and Kelly especially enjoyed seeing her Grandpa. On Sunday we stopped in at our old ward for Sacrament meeting and got to see all kinds of people that we knew. Everyone wanted to know when Kelly graduates and where we are going next. Thanx everyone for your hospitality, we enjoyed our trip (even though our favorite gas station in Grand Junction has been torn down and replaced with a new C-store since our last visit) and hope to be able to make it back out soon. For those of you who were wondering we did find a Dairy Queen and we enjoyed our blizzards very much! I think the workers were a little surprised to see us. We're not the typical customer at the corner of Alameda and Federal.

Sacajewea Jr. High

Does anyone have a picture of Uncle Eugene's "hat" that they could post on the blob?

Z-3 Checking in.

A purple shirt?

Brant reviewed most of what we did over the weekend. We enjoyed visiting with family, including you two-Brandon and Michelle (or is it "you too", or "U2"?). We had a good Easter too (or is that "2"?) I just want to know who told Braxton that the Easter Bunny secretly hid eggs on Easter Morning? The Easter bunny might have come at midnight the night before, so he could sleep in the next morning. It was much easier in Warden where the Easter Bunny visited next door. I really don't have much more to say.

100th Blog

Brant pointed out to me last night that we were getting close to the 100th blog. Then Matt enter his and now here I am.

We had a nice Easter. The weather was beautiful and we had lots of good food. Seth, Lacey and Weston came over. We ate, visited, slept, dyed eggs and made smores. We hope you all had a nice Easter too (Today it is raining).

It sounds like those in Denver enjoyed the wedding and visiting with the other Zirkers. Thanks for all your help in housing, transporting, and baby sitting as needed. We almost made it there but not quite. Travis and Kelly - did you get home safely. How were the roads?

We had fun last night. We got on the web-cam with Brant, Leslie and family and Kevin, Lisa and family. Actually it reminded me a zoo on both ends of the camera. Let's do it again sometime.

Life seems to have slowed down a little for me. Mom is still busy with school and trying to finish the class she is taking. It will all be over in about a month.

Seth and Lacey are getting ready to quit their job. They will probably live with us for a few days until they leave for Belleview. It will be kind of quiet around here this summer. I just e-mailed Sister Cox (fountain of all knowledge) to find out when Fathers and Sons Outing is.

Kurt Schwendiman called Saturday night and told us he is being re-baptised Tuesday night. It has been a long process but he is excited. Mom and I plan to go to the baptism.

That's about it for now.

Hope you enjoy the pictures: one is of Weston and the other is of the Peeps family.

Our Easter Sunday

After coming home from Church we received a call from a family in the ward inviting us to Easter dinner. The Myers (not Meyers, they live in Oregon) family invited us over to eat and play games. Sis. Myers is Kimbre's visiting teaching comp. We had a nice ham, they hit me up for cop stories, and we played a wonderful game of "Farkle."
I had forgotten Easter was today until late last night, and we didn't have anything besides chicken salad on the menu, so the invite was well received.
As for updates, I have one week left in the training program before I'm out on my own. Kimbre is scheduled to take her licensing exam on the 23rd and will be going down to Boise for that weekend. So thats about it, Kimbre's not pregnant and we're still enjoying our new car.

Sorry, no Easter Egg stories this year.

Happy Easter!!

Here are some pictures of the group dying eggs. We had a lot of fun and even managed to get some color on the eggs!

This week I had a cool experience. They asked me to go over to Denver Bishop's Storehouse and run a radio on Thursday. They had a group from Denver go up to Cheyenne and met with the local leaders up there about starting their own emergency communication groups. They set up their radios at the Stake Center/ Storehouse parking lot in WY, and I set up my radio atop the Grain Silos at the Storehouse here in Denver. (About 150 feet in the air.) Boy was it windy and cold up there. We transmitted to each other and I could barely hear them and they heard me fine. When I said hello to the group in Cheyenne, the locals all got a big smile on their faces. It was fun to get a direct radio to radio contact across state lines.

The other big news of the week was Garret's wedding. It was a lot of fun to see all the cousins. We had fun visiting with them at the temple, at Erik's house and then at the wedding reception. I wish we all lived closer so that we could see each other more. I had seen a lot of the younger kids through pictures but it was fun to see them in person. I think they were all headed home today. I hope they made it safe as we had two more inches of snow this morning that melted off this afternoon.

Happy Easter!

Brant

(98th Post- Who will be the 100th??)

Mid-week Blog

I'm home from work early today so I thought I'd post a short blog. I have a guy coming up from Boise to connect the Stake Center with the Mountain View building via the Internet and he won't be here until 5:00pm this afternoon. Once he gets here it will take him from 4 to 8 hours to set it up. This is for our stake conference on the 22nd when they will change the stake presidency. They want to have the whole stake in the two buildings and televise it from one to the other. What we do now is take the signal from the stake center, convert it to digital and "sling" it out into the Internet. Then at the receiving building we go out into the Internet and bring it into the building and convert it back into audio and video and show it on the screen. I have all the nuts and bolts set up and Internet at both buildings and this guy makes it all work. It may be a long night.

Our new corner TV stand came this week and I put it together last night. It looks good and almost matches the other furniture. For those in Aurora, we do have new furniture.

Someone asked me about the "ZIRK" plates a couple of months ago and said they wanted one. I have two that came off the Ranger (I got new ones last year (mandatory)). So, if anyone wants one let me know.

The weather is beautiful and we are looking forward to a beautiful Easter.

Dad

Still here

Wow, I think Kevin has got the hang of this blog thing- Two posts in a row! Thanks for the get together Kevin. It was a lot of fun to hear all the stories of the various trips. For some reason mine was the only one that involved "blue darts" and "coke and mentos rockets" over neighbor's fence. I wanted my boys to stay with Travis and Kelly and experience the college life and boy did they ever. It was a fun trip and believe it or not the boys did actually feel the spirit along the way.

Otherwise, things here on our homefront our good. Work is now in full swing and I just hope I make it through this first month. It is always rough trying to keep up with the normal work as well as all the sprinkler and waterfall turn-ons and start-ups.

Garret gets here tomorrow night. I'm looking forward to this weekend, it should be a lot of fun.

Brant

The Birthday Girl

We celebrated a day early due to busy schedules, but will she ever know the difference. Grammy and Grandpa, the gifts were a hit, especially Birthday Bear. As soon as she saw the pillow, she had to try it out (sorry no pics). She stayed relatively clean, especially compared to her older brother and cousins...(once again, no pics!) We had a fun night telling stories of the past week, Disneyland and conference. We were trying to measure who had the most spirtuality! Elder Zirker won.

General Conference: Kevin's Version

We had a great experience. If I had room I would start from the start, but I don't have room. Let's just say that my faith has been reinforced. It included such experiences as: making the decision to attend even w/o any tickets, then gettting a call the day before with more tickets than we had expected, have the clouds parted for our travels, being able to attend multiple sessions, one young man deciding to go on a mission, a sitting area at a rest stop, and safety and protection through all our travels.

I got to see Brant for just a few minutes in line. I took the picture below of the temple and the tabernacle. If you look down from the middle spire of the temple you will see a lady walking toward the tabernacle in a cream dress suit with a pink shirt. Only after I looked closely at the picture tonight did I realize that it was Sister Tanner, the YW General President. The other picture is of my deacons and me in front of the Christus.

Joe Cool and his Car

It 's Sunday afternoon and all is quiet in the neighborhood - except the neighbor on the south has been running his chain saw all afternoon cutting up the pieces of maple tree we gave him last December when we cut our tree down. He started about a month ago and now he is going again today. He has a pile of shavings about 3' high.

On the north side Shane is digging out a path from under his deck around to his driveway. I think he has been really frustrated this spring because our lawn has greened up very nicely and his lawn is thinning and dying.

While everyone is outside enjoying the good weather Mom and I are inside listening to conference and reading. I didn't say reading the scriptures - I am reading The Da Vinci Code. Very interesting so far.

I hope all the conference travelers are on their way home or have arrived safely. Did you have a good time? Erik called this morning to say they got home safely yesterday from Disneyland. They had a bout with southern California traffic and missed their flight but they got home anyway.

I finally ordered the last piece of furniture we had been looking for. It was a corner TV stand. We kept looking for a "nice" quality one to match our other furniture but all we could find that we liked was a piece from Sauder that you put together yourself. I hope it doesn't look to cheap. It should be here on Thursday.

That's about it from here. The picture was take up behind "Y" Mountain. I think this was the time a slid off the road almost up against a tree and had to have some guys that came along push the Ranchero away from the tree as I drove it out of the ditch. Don't you love the hair?

Dad
