What's here?
Webmaster's notes May, 2010:
After putting it off for a couple of years, I finally made the time to completely rebuild this web site. Since Adobe abandoned the much loved (and maligned in some cases) web authoring software called GoLive (which I was using) about two or three years ago, I decided to invest a considerable amount of time and money with Adobe's replacement for GoLive called Dreamweaver. Over the course of the winter of 2009/10 I spent many, many hours with the excellent video training at lynda.com and rebuilt sudansouth.org, graysonfriends.org and built a new site for a family member and a church. Finally I get to my web site. With the switch to Dreamweaver, I have gone 99.9% to pure CSS based layouts and only have one or two tables to present data in the entire web site. Even the menu is 100% CSS. CSS layouts have driven me totally crazy, but I keep plugging away.

There are about 30 pages of modifications and improvements we have either done ourselves, or had done to our 2005 Winnebago Itasca Horizon 40AD coach. We have significantly improved it over the five years of ownership. You'll find all of that in the RV Stuff menu.
Next is a photo gallery (oddly enough called gallery in the menu) - there are maybe a thousand pictures of our travels, more RV stuff, and some pictures of our little ranch and shop (and some odds and ends.)
The blog is a four year running commentary on some of our highlights of primarily traveling around the country (and Canada/Alaska) in our coach.
John is a bit of a weather nut so for the last ten years has had a weather station running at the place in Texas and the old house in central Florida. Ranch weather on the menu will take you to our current weather (updated every ten minutes.)
We have two live web cams running, one is looking south from the front of our little house, the other overlooks a pen where we now have a pet axis deer to look after (we inherited it from a neighbor that had to move.)
Faith - have you thought about what happens when you close your eyes for the last time and take your last breath on this earth?
John got interested in his genealogy a few years ago and has traced both mom and dad back several hundred years. Some work needs to be done on the genealogy pages.

Check out the web cam page - we have two cams that will stream live images and you can control the cam!
Find out what's going on at the ranch (weather-wise) by going here. We also upload the weather data every 10 minutes to the Weather Underground (not to be confused with the anarchist group of looney radicals from the 1960s.) You can see their nice presentation of our data here. The weather station is a wireless Davis Vantage Pro2 with the sensors about 25 feet in the air sitting on top of the shop. I am now running the weather station software (weeWX) on tiny, fan-less PC running Ubuntu Linux.
