    Texas Hill Country

    I'll do that. I should be going again in June. On this trip I also made it to Canyon Lake Dam. Guy, yes to the enchanted rock hill. If you look closely at the sign you can see "State Natural Area".

    Texas Hill Country

    I had a business trip to Austin Texas last week, so I could not resist a trip to the west, out in the Hill country of South Central Texas. It was really neat, I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was. It was a great day to be in Texas, and I’d like to share the photos I took. Here is the...

    Plant ID

    That is Lily of the Valley Guy. I've seen it at the old settlement in Dover Forge too. It is not native. Probably planted by the women in the settlement for an ornamental.

    The sound of music

    I've had this speaker system since 2000 or so. I think they are pretty much plug and play? I'll have to look for a possible CD in the other room. I did XP service pack 3 about 2 weeks ago, so I don't want to do any restores for awhile. I may really screw things up. I don't think Service Pack 3...

    April Blooms

    Nice Bearberry shots. While you are out there, look for the trailing arbutus. The little pink flowers are beautiful against the leathery leaves and they smell lovely.

    Abandoned building on 206

    I do clearly remember that building from the time we lived in Hampton Lakes in the early 60's, when we used to drive up past Malachicks(sp?) Teepee on the way to my Aunts. I always have this mental picture of a guy leaning up against the wall by the door with his left boot against the wall, with...

    The sound of music

    I can't Tom. This works differently. I have one line from the amp going to the right speaker. Its a large line and carries both sound and power. It is hard wired to the speaker. Then, a smaller line from the left speaker is inserted into the right speaker with a jack in order to tap into the...

    Abandoned building on 206

    I remember that house. A guy named Herman lived there. His last name was Bunster, or Munster, something like that.

    The sound of music

    I'm depressed. I straightened out the spaghetti mess of wires behind my computer, and now the sound system does not play the right speaker (Altec Lansing from 2001). I double checked all connections and did the usual checking in Windows for proper volume and balance. Does anybody have any ideas?

    Beer (again)

    I've noticed that I too lean toward the European brews over the American microbrews (that is when I want something more substantial than the American $5 dollar six packs).

    Pigs in Greenwood......

    I don't think it will be super critical. The Arethusa, Rose Pogonia, Curly Grass, Lance Leaved sabatia, and Gold crest will be fine. The only one I really would worry about is the bog asphodel. Still, I'd rather see it like it was years ago, with no more than 1/16th inch of clean water streaming...

    Structure at White's Bogs

    That may be right next to 530. It looks familiar. There are several little dam structures in that area.

    Pigs in Greenwood......

    The Beaver should be removed. By the way, my friend Mickey also noticed that the water is so high it is threatening some of the plants. He visited the pipes and the small one was clogged. He took a couple minutes to clear it out. We should all do the same when we pass by. It won't hurt and may...

    You guys and girls were a lot of fun, and your help was much appreciated. It was a good day.

    Hey Mark, how was the turnout? Sorry I missed it. I still work, dammit.

    ...."lo and behold we came upon a discarded 12 pack of Yuengling Lager, i said to him wouldn't that be great if there were some full ones in there, look what we found, three bottles were left inside, the three 12 ouncers went down quick, they were on the cold side." Nice and easy eh Jim? I...
