Here's a few pictures of our favorite manure makers at the Notstad Farm. Those Belgiums can really pull a sled!






These guys and gals are BIG!!!

Kevin's girls, Makenzie and Addison were on hand to show off their riding skills. They remind me of a little girl at horse camp about 29

years ago.

The final result after unloading 8 tons of manure. Jim got busy with the rototiller and it's all worked in now, ready for transplanting next spring.

Sushi ala ECI

We promised our Utah engineering friends a Sushi dinner they wouldn't forget. I think we succeeded! We and Griffin, Mark, Jon, Garon, Barb ate until we couldn't eat anymore and then we ate some more. Of course, we hit Ben and Jerry's afterward. There's always room for ice cream and you need something sweet to cut the wasabi & salt overload. Those that wanted to got to try Warm Saki and Barb was ambitious - she had a Japanese Margarita! I'm not quite sure what was in it....but she liked it!

Barney and Dynee's Deck

The deck is completed now, but the satisfaction lingers on. The former raft size deck was a means to exit the home towards the garage, period. The new deck has been enlarged and boasts three sets of stairs, each with a specific purpose. The photos of the stairs leading to the sunken patio is an engineering dream come true. Just the framing alone took 12 hours. Every angle was calculated multiple times and some even had to be cut with a hand saw. The attention to detail is easy to spot. I'm so proud of these steps and the man that designed and engineered them.
