Rehabing an abandoned property in the Mountains.
Pinned
Both of our collies passed on the same weekend, 1 year apart. We knew it’d be a notable date we couldn’t ignore. So we turned a sad day into a celebration of life weekend for any friends experiencing loss. To add a new wrinkle to this, Ransom was born the same weekend. Feels full circle now.
Couple cinnamon roll experiments from the weekend. We bought a commercial box of 16 frozen pieces of French bread dough and I’m trying to find other uses beyond just sandwich bread.
Made a pizza and Pistachio, Almond, and Pecan cinnamon rolls.

Ransom was guarding the cinnamon rolls while I was working on them. He’s so selfless.

Washed all of Ransom’s rubber toys yesterday and set them up in a line. He went for PigPig. This particular pig has a thinner skin so it’s easier to grunt, I think that’s why it’s one of his favorite toys to talk to.

Made another little dude. With a worse attitude.

Ransom also got a new style of herding ball with little grip straps on it. He had fun dragging it around the forest while we worked.

Fixed Ransom’s blue herding ball but the inflator died part way through. Ransom didn’t care.
The extra fabric gave him more grips for thrashing.

This video of Ransom talking with Cera reminded him he had more to say.

Pretty happy with the truck repair after hitting a deer in November. Insurance totaled the truck, so I bought it back and fixed it myself. The corner of the sheet metal frame was pushed in worse than I thought but I got good enough by pounding and bending. Good excuse to replace the headlights too.

Seen this floating around and it instantly brought me back to my childhood.
People were also crediting this as their intro into lofi beats.

Sometimes I get confused which way to read when switching between comics and manga.

But the really confusing thing,
when someone posts 4 pics from a manga on social media. Which tile do I click first? Bottom right? Top right? Top left?

Served on a jury last year in an emotional and explicit trial.
We convicted him of breaking into his ex girlfriend’s house and raping her twice. We weren’t privy to his previous offenses at the time, but it wasn’t a clean record.

The judge just sentenced him 20 years to life.

Another good holiday in the mountains.
The New Years was rung in with a cool ice halo around the moon at midnight.
Ransom got many many hours of off leash time.
I used splitting wedges to make cottonwood planks which will get used around the property.
Got the wasabi seed raft pinned in a spring.

Ransom beating up his herding ball. He’s mostly ripped the zipper off and uses it as a handle. He really likes this dumb thing. I’ll replace it when it eventually gets destroyed.

Had a good holiday in the mountains. We cleared up a bunch of the flood debris, removed more invasive species, and added more wildflower seeds to the river front.

Ransom did exceptionally well off leash. 100% recall and staying close. Here he is tasting sawdust and investigating my work.

Been going through batteries lately and noticed a number of light weight batteries that show good voltage but won’t power a flashlight. I got curious and decided to x-ray a few batteries. Duracell and Amazon batteries are pretty solid. Not so much the other.

Ransom got a new bed.
I think he likes it.

Goodbye leaves.

Picking up some flood debris is easier than raking 2 acres of leaves.

Water flowing through our campground area.
This was at about 12’ high.
The record high is 14.5’,
meaning this area would be another couple feet under water.
So thankful I hadn’t got around to raking leaves yet.

Flood waters are receding a bit. Might be another bump tonight but we should be all good if nothing crazy happens. It looks like at 12’, only the back half of the property gets any water.

Ricky got Ransom to play at the border collie boarder meet and greet. This is only the second dog that he’s intently played with. It was good to see.
December 8, 2025 at 5:52 PM
Took Ransom to what we’re now calling Colliecopia this Saturday. It was a meet and greet for a potential border collie boarder. Ransom was intimidated at first by all the collies but warmed up pretty quick. Everything went great and he had a lot of fun.

Watched the latest episode of Fionna and Cake last night, and we noticed Manny Jacinto voices DJ Flame.
It’s random but fits really well.

Ransom does particular whine when he’s looking for something or trying to solve a puzzle.
December 2, 2025 at 5:56 PM
Pretty good holiday. Since we had a long weekend, I didn’t stress about time constraints and focused on beautifying efforts. We pulled hundreds of invasive knapweed and reseeded the holes with native plant seeds. The ground froze on Sunday and Ransom still wanted to go swimming.
