IMG_1711.JPG
Originally uploaded by SWD Ranch. Tate and I went snowboarding (each of us for the first time ever) yesterday. There was a lot of falling. A lot of soreness in the tailbone. But, at the end of the day, we were able to take the Sunshine train around the back side of Wild Mountain, where this shot was taken. It's good to see Tate finally smiling on her snowboard...

March Snow 2007 004
Originally uploaded by SWD Ranch. That's the kids' snow fort in the background. It's about six feet tall. It doesn't look so scary when you dump two feet of snow around it. The wind did a pretty good job of smoothing out the yard - and burying last night's snow-blowing work. Tonight, it's back to the grindstone, I guess.

March Snow 2007 002
Originally uploaded by SWD Ranch. I take this same shot every year, it seems. Heavy snow, followed by a sunny morning, turning the area behind the mound into a snow tunnel. I'm a sucker for this shot.

Originally uploaded by SWD Ranch. We had to shovel our way into Grandma Dorothy's house last night. The drift was about the same height as Tate.

Originally uploaded by SWD Ranch. Grandma Dorothy's house is back there, somewhere. The neighbor's pickup is parked just behind the near snow bank.

Originally uploaded by SWD Ranch. Jock and Vinnie ejoy a little "together time" on the bed. Shortly after Tracie took the photo, they were summarily scooted off the bed. Or so I'm told.

Originally uploaded by SWD Ranch. As we enter our 89th hour of consecutive below-zero temps, I have a bit of a hankering to be back here. Can't you just smell the ocean breeze?

This is an effort to quell those rumors. It's also a chance to test the new server hardware - looks like everything is going according to plan.

For what it's worth, this blog, and bretshroyer.org have been running on an aged Mac G4 for the past few years. That machine sits in my den and tops out at 350 MHz. Tracie and I bought it in the fall of 1999. It's nice to see that some technology doesn't go obsolete in a hurry.
