    Value In Transparency

    I wasn’t sure I should share this one, but it really speaks to me. It feels real. So in the interest of being transparent, here it is. Most of the photos of myself are of me being silly or “cool” or having fun with my family, and while they all are me, they leave a…

    Waterin’ Hole

    I saw this old trough being filled a little too full on the way to Malta Idaho and thought it was interesting. I’m not sure if the valve was broken or there was a reason it was left on, but it looks like it may have been on for a while.

  • The Best Sugar Cookie Recipe

    The Best Sugar Cookie Recipe

    Over the nearly 10 years that Becky and I have been married, we’ve tried a few different sugar cookie recipes. Recently, she tried a new one. I’m hooked. She loves the recipe because they look perfect and beautiful. I love it because they taste as good as they look. The Sugar Cookies [su_box title=”Ingredients” color=”#dbdbdb”]…

    Isn’t Winter Over Yet?

    I’ve heard that quite a bit lately. C’mon spring, hurry up so it’s not so cold anymore! I’m not sure if I want winter to go away completely. The snow is beautiful. It makes things that might otherwise be drab and dull, shiny and clean. This morning was amazing to look at, but I do…

  • Panorama From Malta

    Panorama From Malta

    I had another little jaunt to Malta Idaho this week. Most of the trip was covered in clouds and stormy, but the clouds did break long enough for a shot just before I left. This one is basically from the front door of Raft River Electric’s office.

  • Valentine Flowers

    Valentine Flowers

    The day of disappointment has come and gone once again. Valentines day seems to be a day when expectations are high, and few are met satisfactorily. This year was once again a little bit of a downer. I ended up having to work out of town on Valentines day. How crappy is that? In an…

  • Malta Idaho

    Malta Idaho

    Where’s that? It’s where the office for Raft River Electric is at. Raft River provides the power service to a pretty large area including south Idaho, northern Utah, and northern Nevada. They also are putting in some security in their offices, including card access readers that I had to go down to program for them.…

  • Feels Like Spring

    Feels Like Spring

    This winter has been a cold and snowy one here in Boise. That almost adds to the feeling of spring when even a little bit of warmer weather appears this year. The weather seems to be warming and the geese seem to be returning. That feeling of spring time is beginning to creep in and…

  • Back On The Snowboard

    Back On The Snowboard

    It’s been a few years since I’ve been snowboarding. It seems a lifetime ago now, but there was once a time when I kept a season pass for Bogus Basin and made good use of it. After a few years of marriage, kids, and responsibilities, I look back and realize I’ve only taken the time…

  • Another Sunday Morning Worship

    Another Sunday Morning Worship

    Having been in the U.S. Army and a part of many other great organizations, I’ve been part of a great many good teams. None of them have I loved as much as I do our worship team at the Boise Vineyard. Lead by Andy Hendley, the team never fails to lead us into worship with…

  • Friday Fog

    Friday Fog

    This morning brought with it some interesting fog. So of course I took a few pictures.

  • The Idaho Sky

    The Idaho Sky

    Another trip to Pocatello this week. I’ve been sent to On Semiconductor to ready an air handler that they are adding to their list of equipment running the facility. So across our beautiful state I go again. As I drove the 4 hour journey home, it occurred to me that this drive is one of…
