Flip Videos

These videos are not of the highest quality, they were made with a very inexpensive Flip camcorder, but they will suffice to introduce you to two new and very different automobiles making their debut for the 2012 model year.

Halloween 2011

The trick-or-treaters started ringing our doorbell around 6:30 pm. The last ones left our house at 9:30 pm. By that time we were down to our last dozen or so pieces of candy. All and all - we had a little over three hundred visitors this year.

It was great fun, as you can see from our pictures. Chili greeted a few trick-or-treaters early on, but she soon grew tired of having to run to the front door from the kitchen and instead decided to take a nap in the laundry basket. Nancy did most of the work putting together the Halloween decorations and wrapping the candy.

I had all the decorations down by ten fifteen. Afterwards we watched the DVR of Dancing With The Stars and tried to figure out who might be the next to go. The dancers danced to Halloween themed music in their creative costumes. It was a nice way to end the day. HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO ALL and DON'T EAT ALL YOUR CANDY IN ONE NIGHT!! YOU'LL HAVE A TUMMY ACHE IF YOU DO!!

Fleetwood Mac

This link will take you to a very poor quality video that has bad lighting, less than stellar audio and a few sound glitches - but forget about all that and just enjoy the pure emotion Fleetwood Mac is able to convey via Lindsey Buckingham singing, "Go Your Own Way". Pure Rock and Roll at it's best.

Den Window

It's been in the works for some time, but the entry-way/den window is finally installed. Laine and Duane did an excellent job of building and installing this framed work-of-art. The window was originally in the form of french doors manufactured by Feather River Doors. They are part of the Diamond Collection, a series of etched glass doors that have to be ordered through Home Depot and manufactured to a specific size determined by Feather River. The opening where these doors were to be installed did not fit any of the sizes offered in the Feather River Diamond Series, wouldn't you have guessed that, so... Laine had to cut the doors to fit the opening and by doing so alter their appearance so they would look more "window-like'", than "door-like" - not a simple task. He also had to make sure that by cutting around the glass portion of the doors that he did not substantially weaken their structural rigidity. Additionally, the doors had to be stained oak on one side, to match the entry-way railing along the stairs and a dark cherry-espresso on the other side to match the furniture in the den. Duane managed that rather challenging endeavor with aplomb. He was spot-on for both sides.

The installation took about four hours and involved a sixteen foot ladder that was extended to its full length. Laine made a good choice for a partner on this project, as Duane is a retired fireman and not ad versed to climbing up a tall ladder. The install went without a hitch and the outcome looks fantastic - from both the entry-way and the den.

Check out the blog pics to see the result of their work.
