Jesse's new truck




Jesse's 3/4 ton Chevy is definitely serious for mud. He's still waiting to get the new axel part so he can get into 4WD again.




Spring is really slow coming this year. Usually there's lots of skunk cabbage and daffodils blooming by now, and the first yellow violets. Those haven't arrived yet, but there are some signs of spring.

The FIRST robot constructed by Newport High was successfully shipped off yesterday, Tuesday Feb. 19. This picture was taken before the bumpers and final details were added but when it was fully functional.

Eclipse of the Full Snow Moon


The lunar eclipse was visible from here at Beaver Creek at about 7 pm, at full dark and when the moon was about 40 degrees from zenith, peaking from behind the leafless alder trees. Saturn appeared just below and Regulus just above the moon.
