nomads2: May 2010
http://nomads2-normdave.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 31, 2010. Captain Humbert Roque (Rocky) Versace. He stood as others dream to stand; He spoke as others dared not even think; From soul deep faith, he drew his courage, his granite spirit, his ironclad will. The Alien force, applied with hate, could not break him, failed to bend him;. Though solitary imprisonment gave him no friends, he drew upon his inner self to create a force so strong. That those who sought to destroy his will, met an army his to command. Links to this post. You can see th...

http://nomads2-normdave.blogspot.com/2010/10/one-big-tree-for-me.html
Saturday, October 9, 2010. One Big Tree, for me. This is the biggest job I have ever had to climb without Chris and the pucker factor was real high! The final product, cut as far down as we could. Here is how we accomplished the removal. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Tamara Dawn's Daily Peace. 9/30 The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. So, as you may have already assumed, I am NOT the next American Idol. Shocking isn't it? I know you all assumed I would be, right? Hahahaaa. Well, I d. Yuma, still cutting.

nomads2: Our last job...
http://nomads2-normdave.blogspot.com/2010/10/our-last-job.html
Friday, October 15, 2010. This is where we called home for the last 10 days in Yuma. The house belonged to Morningside. Baptist Church and they were all so great to us. If you find yourself in Yuma, this church is a good place to worship. Our last tree to cut on. Norm is trimming some low branches. While I prepared to cut those broken limbs out of the tree. The lady that owned this house went to work before we got there, but she left a cooler with drinks in it for us. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Saturday, October 9, 2010. One Big Tree, part 2. Like I said, the pucker factor was real high, so I really am more comfortable. Sitting there and cutting. It looks like I am all tied up in my work. We could not figure. Out how to drop some large limbs without crushing this chicken coop, so we used a dolly and moved it. Mark came in real handy for this job! Funny thing about this chicken coop, the lady had a handful of chickens running around, freaking Norm out, but not a one came to the coop. Yuma, day 6.

Monday, October 25, 2010. We have moved our blog, the new site is 'nomads2.wordpress.com.'. Links to this post. Sunday, October 17, 2010. Our grandson Leo, is a Cubbie! Leo is working at his Grandfather's rope factory in Kiowa Kansas. It is never too early to get that good work ethic into kids. From this shot it is obvious that he gets his good looks from this grandfather. He is a flashy dresser thanks to his grandparents in Kiowa. Links to this post. Friday, October 15, 2010.

nomads2: August 2010
http://nomads2-normdave.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 29, 2010. This walkway was a real rush to cross! And we had to do it twice! There is a lot going on in this shot. In the lower left of the photo you can see the trail switch-backing it's way up and down. In the far right is a Shepard's tent, the white object. He had two horses, a sheep dog (a big one) and easy a couple hundred sheep scattered all over. Links to this post. The photo does not show the exposure that well, but there was plenty of it. Links to this post. Does this look steep?

http://nomads2-normdave.blogspot.com/2010/10/there-is-always-tree-to-cut.html
Tuesday, October 12, 2010. There is always a tree to cut. This was one gnarly tree to cut. Martin and I got the 'Big Boy' Stihl 660 chain saw with a 36 inch bar to whack it up. Using this saw is like wrestling with a gorilla! Here is Martin and his wife Betty sharpening a chain. Betty has been a real trooper and jumped into chain saw work with both feet. This log appears much larger when cutting than it does in this photo. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Tamara Dawn's Daily Peace. Yuma, still cutting.

nomads2: September 2010
http://nomads2-normdave.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 30, 2010. Links to this post. Saturday, September 25, 2010. Norm is so crafty. This is a former climbing rope. We have had this rope for quite some time now. I was sitting in the climbing office at Devil's Tower a few years back when Michael, one of our climbing rangers, asked if I wanted to go with him and find an abandoned rope that some visitor reported? Links to this post. Friday, September 10, 2010. And just like that, it was over. Links to this post. Our last day in Goblin Valley.

nomads2: Yuma, day 5...
http://nomads2-normdave.blogspot.com/2010/10/yuma-day-5.html
Friday, October 8, 2010. Yuma, day 5. This is Chris, our fearless leader. We refer to Chris, with all affection, as "The Tree Whisperer." As you can see from this photo, an expert rope climber and rigger along with the ability to use a chain saw with surgical procession. The photo below, is well, the exact opposite. Uh, which way does the rabbit go, or no, he comes up through the hole? Chris used five ropes, one rope was an inch thick! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Tamara Dawn's Daily Peace. View m...
