I had a great time this weekend.  John and Annette are very gracious hosts and we could hardly have had a better weekend to enjoy the place they have built there.  They have taken so much care to make it a comfortable and inviting spot to visit.  I had a primo camping spot nearby to the central pavilion.  It is not nearly so far from my home as I had imagined previously, but at least on this visit I was able to incorporate the travel into a work trip I had to take anyway.  Extra bonus points!

Here are a couple of pix I took while there.  I don't know why, but it never occurs to me to pull out the camera till I've already missed the chance to grab some pictures.  The first one was John and his wife Annette.  She's apparently helping John figure out how to knap a piece of Pedernales stone.  The second one is a Plant I found out I needed to stay away from called Poison Parsley.  Apparently it acts like an ANTI sun screen and causes your skin to blister and burn badly when exposed to the sun light. YUCK!

Sure it was satisfying to sit back and observe bunch of like-minded folk using/enjoying a facility/environment ya brought into being. CONGRATS!

Hey Eric, that parsley plant(Poison parsley, water parsley, goes by many common names) is spreading south fast.  It is here in Missouri so watch yourself when you are out.  Nasty, nasty stuff.

Retirement isn't about sitting around. It's about not having to go to work so you can fill your day doing what you want to do. Or in some cases trading two bosses for one.

She is asking me to slow down. Isaac is complaining that I am always working so I am trying to do more fun/play and not so much work like type activities. I would retire now but insurance is so high I have to wait a few more years unless they offer it in an early retirement  type of deal.
On the same note I worked my butt off pulling these bees from a house yesterday. I did manage to catch the queen. This only took me 6 hours without a break.
