Beavers and Snow all around

Back home. We got the word that we could go back home today at 6PM. So it's nice to be back and settled in. Now I can go back to work. Ya, getting up at 5:30 am is fun....not! Oh well, it's a paycheck. That's all I can say.

We were evacuated from our home yesterday at 4PM due to the Black Crater Fire outside of Sisters, OR. The fire is about 2.5 miles from my house, which is too close for my comfort. According to reports, good progress has been made to rob the fire of fuel. The reports sounded a lot more optomistic today than they did yesterday. The weather should help them out today with higher humidity levels and lower temperatures. We'll just have to wait and see what comes out of this. Worse comes to worse, we have to rebuild our home. There is insurance for that. So no worries on that end. I'm actually less stressed out today than I was yesterday. It was the waiting and not knowing what was going to happen that was killing me. Hopefully they get the fire under more control and can let us back into our homes.

Got nailed by a golf ball two inches from my important parts the other day. I was upset for a couple seconds and then realized everything was intact, so no harm, no foul! It was actually humorous looking back on it.

Greg is pretty aggrevated tonight. He's putting in a window box for the kitchen. So we can have some plants in it year round. Good idea, but he's not getting anything square, so it's frustrating. All construction is when you do it yourself.

Found my snowboarding bindings at a local shop in Bend...finally!! I thought I had found the best deal on the internet at a site, but this local shop is almost $30 cheaper. I almost crapped my pants! Not going to complain though.
