Hydro Ax

We have a monster machine, the hydro ax, in our yard. It is clearing juniper trees for the fire mitigation program. Many home owners in the valley are having their land cleared. This view is of the front of the hydro ax. The huge blades on the bottom are sharpened everyday and they make the tree cutting so easy.

Caution

The mulching has started at 856 Dilley Ranch Road. This is for fire mitigation. It is necessary to stay away 300 ft. from the hydro-ax machine because of the flying tree parts.

Water

The water is deposited into the cistern, which holds 1200 gallons. This '91 Ford has come in handy, besides transporting water, it was used to move boxes from Lakewood to Dilley, to take the bobcat to Pueblo to be repaired, to help the Whalens move their boxes to their cabin, and to take the garbage cans down to the gate area.

water, water, water

Since our well doesn't produce enough water, and the water has uranium , we drive into Canon City to get more water. After hooking up the hose, Dan inputs our code number and the amount of water needed. The water tank on the truck has a capacity to hold 425 gallons. We usually get 385 gallons.

Dan's been busy working on the window seat and dresser drawers for the bedroom.

Our friends, Lyn and Larry Hicks, came for the weekend. They showed us pictures of their recent trip to Russia and we showed them a little of Canon City and gave them the grand tour of the house. Good times, good conversations with good friends.
