Q.S. my advice is don't EVER buy a can of Red Bull that big... my experience was that it may keep you awake for a cross country drive, but you end up losing a lot of time stopping WAY too much to relive yourself. ... and then you can't sleep for about 3-4 days... ::facepalm::

I posted a pic of me and my buddy building a ramp gate for my utility trailer back in May. He finally finished it up for me a couple of weeks ago. I put a couple of coats of paint on it and she's good to go. I am very happy with this - much better than to two heavy ramps that hung off the side of the trailer. I removed and stored those, and cut off the angle iron hooks they hung on.

Thanks QS! It was a rust bucket back when I started last year. I told my wife I think I am finally about done with it. :D I don't think she believed me.

...and while I was backing the trailer back under the RV cover, I noticed what looked like a bird next built on a 6 foot step ladder we had stored under there. I went over an peeked into it, and sure enough, a couple of Cardinal eggs. I am surprised a rat snake hasn't made off with these.

Eustace, is the last photo of a chapel carved into a hill? It seems to be filled with icons.

Yes, it's a rock-hewn chapel on the marble quarry peninsula. The chapel has been in use for at least 1,500 years.

Just returned home after a few days visit to my sister’s place near Creede, CO. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery, and the weather! Most days the high temps were low 70s, lows mid-30s. It cools off fast when the sun sets! It was 34°Wednesday at 6 AM.

Beautiful Ken.

I am starting to think we are living on the surface of the sun here in Texas.

We enjoyed our visit. Stopped in Lubbock on Saturday to attend our niece’s graduation from Texas Tech (she’s a professor, got her PhD degree). Then on to Creede for a few days visit with my sister and BIL there. Saw the comedy play Clue at the Creede Repertory Theater https://creederep.org/2023-season/, toured an old mine and mining museum https://undergroundminingmuseum.com/, did a lot of exploring and sightseeing, and ate some good meals. Amazing lot of things to do in that area besides the beautiful scenery. Never wet a hook but that’s something for next time!
