The new house in Birchwood is most excellent, Shana has done a magnificent job of setting it up. It is rather small but we fit well and Shana says it is easier to keep up. Have a few junk cars etc. still hanging around but hopefully soon the landlord will get rid of them so we can get our 1 acre yard ready for winter.HOMERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03957428390361595004noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26827666.post-70787340455666961472008-08-17T17:00:00.000-07:002008-08-17T17:21:12.124-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ70fmXHLVvGkidswtd_VJRk-LLyrFJrnBqWFKNb7kdS9_lSWtib9k-_ACL3GK3j-cP6id2Dtw1Iab713M7E8WBjApFlemfzjkO6t9IEnM0pgVDRUczukIhgqb-EpPsn3P081BJw/s1600-h/Summer+2008+194.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ70fmXHLVvGkidswtd_VJRk-LLyrFJrnBqWFKNb7kdS9_lSWtib9k-_ACL3GK3j-cP6id2Dtw1Iab713M7E8WBjApFlemfzjkO6t9IEnM0pgVDRUczukIhgqb-EpPsn3P081BJw/s200/Summer+2008+194.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235644829075967746" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZSoquocIDmpjblkmiJTJgMOsk9EASqpR-ILZeNHztcU6ikBJlrf6J9DttMk_sQJFNIRlTvTMW9U-0IZfKe-DftGye9PaTHA1u9HCqfPGhsdJ2wrZOAZCTPNwPtkFtcjO3XEOGiQ/s1600-h/Summer+2008+186.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZSoquocIDmpjblkmiJTJgMOsk9EASqpR-ILZeNHztcU6ikBJlrf6J9DttMk_sQJFNIRlTvTMW9U-0IZfKe-DftGye9PaTHA1u9HCqfPGhsdJ2wrZOAZCTPNwPtkFtcjO3XEOGiQ/s200/Summer+2008+186.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235644648346528834" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnlP5jfOPkKYgevRyjrbOCtpoDXs2TyQltCJ8G68XMA2hfodIXGNNApte7KAAWPMW4dvqSOmDP3GtiUnKprs6X2Jh8gilcVoeFXAX6ovMxsvXdTCvo7sYzJCxlF3d2y3UAcLvU9A/s1600-h/Summer+2008+198.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnlP5jfOPkKYgevRyjrbOCtpoDXs2TyQltCJ8G68XMA2hfodIXGNNApte7KAAWPMW4dvqSOmDP3GtiUnKprs6X2Jh8gilcVoeFXAX6ovMxsvXdTCvo7sYzJCxlF3d2y3UAcLvU9A/s200/Summer+2008+198.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235644018075119314" border="0" /></a>I am still trying to figure out how to put pictures in my postings.

I know it is quite a while away but it is the small things in life that us BUFFALO'S look foreword to.

Not a whole lot going on in my world, finally did sea trials on that damn boat and I am done with it now. All went well. came home Saturday after sea trials all happy and got a sore throat and could not keep my eyes open so Shana said just go to bed. I did but I don't think she expected me to stay there until 0430 this morning. Took the magic Thera Flu cure, it took a little longer than usual butt by mid day today I was feeling somewhat normal again. As normal as a buffalo can feel anyway.HOMERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03957428390361595004noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26827666.post-40810965494790703162007-12-22T10:43:00.000-08:002007-12-22T10:55:11.772-08:00I'm back once againSorry about the laps in postings, I just do not want to overwhelm every one with my brilliance.

I did not go into one of my standard disappearing acts like usual just have been really busy with work the last couple of days. We are finally getting busy again, had a project come in at 4:00 yesterday after noon and the customer need it done in time to make the 1:30 gold streak out of Anchorage this afternoon so I worked until 9:00 last night then was up at 0300 this morning to be to work in time to get them done by noon. Oh yea i had to shorten up screens for a screening plant and reattach 186 pieces of wire mesh to the clips that hold them in place on the machine then silicone the ends so they will seal on the cross bars. well enough about work I have not had a chance to post about my fathers day yet. It was the best one ever, by the pictures that Erica posted it was pretty obvious that a good time was had by all. my wife thinks that the water through the sunroof was an accident but it is actually a great way to pressure wash your interior without having to go visit the car wash. I think the wife and I have found another cool place to hang out and relax, but of course not nearly as cool as the hole in the wall.HOMERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03957428390361595004noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26827666.post-63840121394806117812007-06-16T17:09:00.000-07:002007-06-16T17:16:25.438-07:00Well I had to go to work on this beautiful Saturday. At least I was able to work outside. I got home at 3:00 in the afternoon to a beautifully clean house and a wonderfully mowed yard. Having a couple of cold ones and enjoying the sunshine wishing we were down south in the camper. when i get rich and famous we will be spending a lot of time camping.HOMERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03957428390361595004noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26827666.post-54134003445782375682007-06-15T19:12:00.000-07:002007-06-15T19:21:49.842-07:00Hello again nice to see that at least the grand poopa notices excelence in literature.

Or at least you make me feel that way. All is well here I am running the mechanics side of the shop now. That is a lot of work, overseeing 2 field mechanics, 6 day shift mechanics and 3 night shift mechanics. It's hard enough to keep my self organized let alone 11 others too. Josh, Donald, Heath, and John Boy went fishing today, I believe they chose to stay with the road system this time since they did not have me to pick up all of their slack. Probably will not have much luck without the master angeling techniques of papa Bufflao to lead them to the hot spots. gotta go must snuggle with melissa so she will take a nap.HOMERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03957428390361595004noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26827666.post-1170313083724629202007-01-31T22:48:00.000-08:002007-01-31T22:58:03.740-08:00back againHello all, yes i am still alive.

Like running the Bull Buffalo over with the canoe on the way in, there is a picture but it happens to be on Josh's phone. The first cabin we went to while looking for ours was inhabited by a few very sexually liberal men previously. We know this because the doccumented it in the log book. Josh opened the book and read it and came running out screaming "the last people here were Queer." Off we went in search for out cabin once again, locating it about 20 minutes later we spent the next hour unloading our supplies for our excursion. And about the surf and turf we were lucky to have some very generous neighbors un benownsted to them but we were curtious enough to use their firewood too. Now to the fishing it was not at all hot but it was very enjoyable, the peaceful quiet and beautiful lake. Donald was the first one to hook into a fish and land it, it was a real relief that we finally got one. I don't think anyone would of wanted to report to the grand poo pa of a skunking. As for John picking on Donald he neglected to inform everyone that he was the first one in bed @ 7:22 pm. Granted Donald followed suit shortly there after but he did not go to sleep until atleast 12:30 am even though it was probably out of fear for his well being he hung with the boys. He did not drink with us but atleast he was awake. good day to allHOMERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03957428390361595004noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26827666.post-1159335165382011192006-09-26T22:29:00.000-07:002006-09-26T22:32:45.396-07:00Monday on TuesdayWell we all payed for taking the day off yesterday.

All we knew is that we were sleeping in the Yukon. For you vehicularly challanged that is a General Motors Corporation product. We ended up at the Buffalo Mine, no really that was the name of it. Momma and Poppa Buffalo awoke at 8:00 to peace and quiet, something very unusual to us (It was a beautiful thing). Went to breakfast in Wasilla then decided to head north, next thing you know we were in Talketna. What a cool little town. Then it was back on the road again, north to Petersville Rd. I wanted to show the wife why we all ways got home so late from snowmachining. We had to turn around at mile 28 when there was a small piece of the road washed out and flooded. We arived at our humble abode around 7:30 and the big kids were loading up the little ones to goto the park.

Sorry about the laps in blogging, it was due to technical difficulties with our wireless internet. Thats right I'm blaming it on todays technology, imagine that it outsmarted a Buffalo. It sure was nice of the Eagle clan to come up for the eldest Moose claf's birthday, it was an enjoyable visit. Sure they can make it up for momma and poppa Buffalo & Wolf's anniversery's this week. <br /> Have been doing a few small improvements on the house, just bought slate tile for the entry way and downstairs bathroom at Home Depot today. The mailbox is finally completed and will be installed this weekend. Shana and I have also designed a wall unit for our Master Suite. Construction on that will start here in a week or two when Charman has time to assist in the construction process, that would probably be best since Popa Buffalo tends to be a little excessive in the durability aspect of the finished product.<br />bye bye now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br /></span></span></span>HOMERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03957428390361595004noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26827666.post-1155350641603972552006-08-11T19:38:00.000-07:002006-08-11T19:44:01.616-07:00I'm BackHello all, Homer is back. Work has been kind of crazy lately so i have not had much spare time. As a good Bull Buffalo would do I am spending what extra time I have with my family. Well tonight is another company party so we are all dressed up, the only difference is this time we have somewhere to go. It's a 10 year celebration party for an employee I do not even know but there ids free food and booz so I figured that a good employee such as myself should make an appearence. well gotta go bye bye now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HOMERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03957428390361595004noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26827666.post-1153620226987494162006-07-22T18:51:00.000-07:002006-07-22T19:03:46.996-07:00the team is set<span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> Well the team has been set for the auditions to get on Deal or No deal. Grandma Buffalo has accepted the offer and her boss is giving her the time off work. The final team consists of the Eagle Master, PaPa Wolf, Grandma Buffalo and last but not least miss Brittany Buffalo. That will be my pit crew, how I came up with this crew is they told Mama Buffalo all the information they could give her about the auditions is that they can't have a dull show. So in saying that I think every one can figure it out.</span></span><br />have a nice dayHOMERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03957428390361595004noreply@blogger.com6
