Betas at Cordillera
Great to hang out with some of Tim's pledge brothers. These guys are the salt of the earth, and that's a Jack Burns Guarantee. I originally had planned to meet Tim and these Betas to go fishing this weekend. I sure missed Tim as did everyone else. Lots of funny stories, they all made me laugh. Thanks for the great day.

Memories of Tim - Vancouver Chapter
Big thanks to Janelle for putting this together. For those who don't know Janelle, she is one of Tim's true buddies. They were house mates with Jay, Karen, and Dexter - there were others but not as tight as these 5. Janelle is our legendary Aussie sister that can tell you a million true stories about Tim. This Vancouver chapter was some of the funnest times of my life. Tim took us on endless mountain bike rides, monster fishing tours, and the most ultimate adventures.

Gema and Indy in the Colorado


Pumpkins Flower
My two plants are finally in the ground. I'm not holding my breath to see if they'll make it. The pH is too high and I don't know if they can take the heat.


Thank You to the Firefighters on the New Castle Fire

Giant Pumpkin Garden Update
I finally got my two seedlings transplanted. I don't have high expectations for this year, I just hope they make it through the season. I know I have to lower the soil pH from 8.0 to the low 7's with some sulphur. I'll get a couple of backhoe buckets of cow manure next spring from Brett Jolley. My irrigation is automatic and I'm using buried soaker hose with both plants.
