Out Into The Storm

Dave from California showed up yesterday.

We are off here shortly traveling in the midist of this bad storm. It is still going on and will last through tomorrow with the worst yet to come. Have generator and chain saw running.

This is all very distracting to me trying to write this post. OK, back again and I am back at the ranch. No damage here, just a lot of debris blowing around.

But just hear from Annie that Phil’s Camino won the Audience Choice Award. Yea, love it, thank you Tacoma!

OK, I bushed. One more thing to do and that is start a pot of oxtail soup, our favorite wintertime meal. Need to have it ready for the Seahawks game against Atlanta on Sunday. Yup, that’s the way it is. Lovin you, Felipe.

  1. Greetings Felipe,

    Congratulations on Audience Choice Award!

    Yes, we have quite a storm brewing here in the NW. We’ll see how tomorrow’s storm plays out.
    What’s your recipe for oxtail soup? I used to use oxtail in my black bean soup. Delicious!
    Try to stay warm and dry.

    Hello to Rebecca.

    Buen Camino…Joy

    1. Hi Joy ~ I scurried and I scurried to get ready for this “wind event”. The oxtail soup was part of that and I went old school with the Joy of Cooking cookbook. And it’s got to have barley for me, a memory of Mom’s. Good luck where you are Joy. Thanks for commenting, Felipe.x

  2. Hola Amigo!
    The tail end of your storms always seem to make it here in a few days. Hope you weathered it OK.
    I’m enjoying reading daily posts from the Aussie lady that I walked a long time with on my Camino who is walking again now. She just crossed the Pyrenees again yesterday in a “howling wind and rain storm”. She’s a trooper! She took shelter in that little shepherd hut at the top of the pass. Sounds like a fantastic experience to me!!
    Nearing the end of soybean harvest, maybe today even, if all goes well. Then we start right in to preparing for next year, with fall fertilizer application and some seeding of winter rye for erosion control on some hilly land. There will be some chisel plowing on the flat land but that goes pretty fast. Hell, even you could do that job 😉
    Have a great day!
    Love you man, and not a damn thing you can do about it 🙂

    1. Juan ~ we’ve got a two headed storm coming in. In the lull between them now and it’s 1300 and raining. The wind is supposed to start later this afternoon and peak this evening. Deer are running all over the place right now feeding before the storm. OK, I went out and sat in a tree for two hours and one little guy ran underneath me, that’s all. Waiting for a big body one, got two weeks. Glad, you are enjoying missives from the Camino. We have Steve and Dana Watkins going in about a week. I am looking forward to following them. And what the heck is chisel plowing? I use a chisel almost every day. Just fell in with another Marine officer, a chopper driver. You’ll like him. Felipe.
