What do I read?
Tuesday, January 20th, 2009I often get asked what type of things do I read. What do I read as far as articles for work, articles for our property, ideas for the home and land, gardening, cooking and etc.
It dawned on me that since I use Google Reader I can actually share them with anyone who’s interested.
So now you can click here: Articles Rick Shared and see what I’ve tagged for future reading or to save.

Latest Visit
Monday, January 5th, 2009Well, we went down to the property this past week. Glad to say not much has changed at all which is a good thing.
We had a great time visiting with our neighbors Dan & Judy! Great folks, always a laugh with them.
We also walked our property some (still having a hard time finding the survey marks. May have to have them come out and show me where they are). We spent a little bit of time walking around where the house will be built. Has a little more of a grade to it then I though which will block the view somewhat but I can live with that.
I noticed that our neighbor to the west has actually taken some trees off of our land which really shows the need for getting the fences completed. Still have a mind to have the amount of lumber taken estimated and hand her a bill.
We’ve been watching Northern Exposure on DVD. And though it’s a TV series there’s a lot of similarities with my experiences with small towns, one in particular came to life when the owner of one of the restaurants in our town pulled a “Maurice Minnifield Maneuver” and bought out and then closed down the other restaurant. So much for fair competition. DOH!
