Christmas was beautiful here in Page, Arizona.
There's a nice overlook about ten minutes from the house.
Snapped some shots of the lake and a local with his home-built hotrod.

During the last two weeks, I've endured a couple of howling snow storms near Cheyenne, prayed for olfactory shut down near Greeley, and dug a couple of holes ten inches in diameter and nearly four feet deep through the pavement in county roads in both Wyoming and Colorado...I've been cursed at because of the disruption drilling oil wells brings and been begged to move another's well up the drilling schedule (I have nothing to do with either)...I walked ankle deep in cow shit to survey a center pivot and have spent a good deal of time wondering why two seemingly competent surveyors have a disagreement over the location of a boundary by 26 feet...I've found a monument that "doesn't exist" and been mystified a couple that were supposed to be easy to find...
It's nice to be back in the saddle again...hopefully, the economy will start turning around for everyone else, too...

Envious!
Although I am NOT certified for it, I took both dogs for a simultaneous walk yesterday, and soon found myself praying that a squirrel did NOT appear!

PCS to Colorado Springs!
I was recently selected for a job out at Colorado Springs!
I am very happy to leave the People's Republic in my rear view mirror.

Wow. Talk about jealous ... 2 weeks ago I was told I would PCS in April, then 2 hours later - NOPE, local realignment to another slot on Meade! I gotta make something happen soon. 
CONGRATULATIONS!

Might get a snow day on Wednesday, almost feel like a school kid! They're saying our "life threatening blizzard" will rival the one in 1968. Which I remember.

Got an email from the boss when I got home...no field work tomorrow...today, we had windchill temps of -15°F...the ambient temp must have been below zero because the liquid crystal display on one of the data collectors froze...tomorrow is supposed to be colder...Sooooo, if the stuff didn't work today, it ain't gonna work tomorrow...and I get to spend some time at my home office doing some calcs for Wednesday's field work...It'll be a nice respite from the wind...
