We spent last weekend at Garden Valley. Saturday was beautiful. Sunday we awoke to a moderate snow and by the time we left for home there was about 2.5"-3" of snow on the ground. Saturday I did go see a little new country when I drove the Jeep to the location of our community's irrigation water source. We have a diversion dam on one of the local year-round streams that I had never before visited...so Saturday I took a trip to check out the dam. We irrigators are getting more organized so as to address a growing number of water concerns that are arising due in no small part to the growth of the area in which we reside. I'm in the process of creating a webpage that we can use as a clearinghouse for irrigation-related information. I used a free "canned" webpage background that I simply added content to. Makes things very quick.
The layoffs are over at Stitch's employer. At least for the next 11 months they say...
Stitch wants an AR-15 rifle. She's occasionally up at Garden Valley alone and she has stated that it would be nice to have a weapon available. I'm building her a lightweight carbine version (16" barrel) that should be very portable and easy to use. I'll put some sort of electronic and/or laser sight on it as well. She and I have rifles that have consecutive serial #'s. In Idaho, that's considered cool.
As an added bonus, the pic above is the back (downstream) side of the diversion dam.

The AR-15 might come in handy if HP decides upon an unscheduled force reduction that leaves Stitch not-in-Stitches.
I posted yesterday but forgot to veryify the funny looking "word" below.
Yeah, the funny word(s) are the mechanism I used to avoid spam. So far, so good.
