Bird Seed Block

Day 1

It was named on the label a Dove Block and the Dove's as you can see did love it 

(King of the Seed Block, saw a total of 5 on the top of it at one time)

Day 2 (after the attempted theft)

Bought a bird seed block at the store and after the 1st night it was gone.  Found it down at the bottom of the yard (25 yds away) later in the day.  So set up the camera to see what it was that was eating it and trying to take it away.  Here are the culprits....Javelina (collared peccary) having a great time chowing down.  They did not try and steal it last night (must have been the snoring from the watch dogs that scared them away).

Carr Peak Hike

Another one of the mountains in the chain near the Fort, 2,000 foot hike with the peak being at 9,220 ft.

Another nights worth of June bugs. We are being over run

Not coffee beans but one nights worth of June bug type bugs that die
and pile up on patio and back door lights.

Deer enjoying leftovers from the birds on our patio.

Only Richie could think this was comfortable...

Monsoon season is here. :(

Bug Hunting

Maggie and a huge roach this morning

After our motorcycle trip we went out desert dune buggy riding.  We were the only ones on the trip so it was fast and fun. 

Father-Son Bonding

Lucky for the rest of us, they were able to kill all of the insurgents
that have been hiding in our TV all this time.

My first InO 3x3 as an award for dealing with Californian drivers during the motorcycle trip.

2012 Motorcycle Trip

3 days and 625 miles of great fun with Patrick on some fun bikes.  Lots of great scenery and views.  Got close to Maynard (only Tool fans will understand).  And discovered that the Massholes of the West are from California. 

Jen's trip

Well, since Doug's been posting about his adventures in AZ, guess I
better post some stuff from my East Coast trip. Came out to Newport RI
for a class on Cyber Warfare at the Naval War college. Luckily, I had
a few hours today to get my Dunkin fix, breathe in the ocean air , and
eat some steamaahs. Back to the desert tomorrow.

Bikes sitting in the 100+ heat making the seats and handles to hot to
touch. But much better than riding in rain or snow.

Waiting in the street for Maynard to show up for work.

Table inside the shop

Guess where we are and who we saw.
