Hurt Hawk

I was on my way to the post office today when I notice a small bird attacking a hawk (not sure what kind it is but from the pictures perhaps my followers will). when I came back from the post office, I came across a hawk hurt on the side of the road. I can not say for sure if it was the same hawk I had seen earlier, but my guess is, it was. I came home, told my wife and headed back out to go get it. I couldn't find it.
Dan is regular up here in the mountains, who enjoys the great outdoors, either hiking or riding his ATV. Well he found my injured hawk.

 

 

I wish this little guy a quick recovery and  thank  Dan for bringing him by. The wild life up here at MICA gate for QSI is amazing and I have to laugh, the boss is worried we may not be having a super summer. Ummmm this is by far the best summer in the last 3 years. People up here are amazing and so is the office view.

Old and New Indian cemetery

 What I am I must become

What I see I must try to find

What I hear I must play music to

What I touch I must leave alone 

  I turn then to all reflections of myself

           In trees and sacred things     

That nature gives to me

Blast from the Past

 

http://www.maryhillmuseum.org/2013/

 

The first picture has a story. My wife was looking at all the dolls, and this buzzard kept going off, well every time it did she'd look up and nothing, and then it went back to buzzing. I was sitting back laughing because I knew the source of the sound and so did the 30+ folks watching my wife also filled with chuckle. Then ding, she figured it out on her own, she was viewing the dolls she was pass the point of breaking the rules and the alarm we set off by her. My wife, did a bow for everything and they all clapped their hands. My wife the mini Jim Carey!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have so many pictures of our visit here. But we just wanted to add a couple. This museum has been updated since we were there 2 years ago. We do plan on going back when we head to the coast. We have a very dear wonderful friend that works there and our envy for her is GREAT!! But our warning to you is, don't go setting the alarms like my wife did, you just never know who may be watching you lol....

Rainbow so Close you could touch it.

Rainbows are like hidden blessings. Here in Idaho we see a lot of them. The one was just next to our RV. Pictures taken from our RV in fact.

What kind of bow can't be tied? A rainbow.

Solar Radio Review

First we'd like to thank MicrolinkFR160 for sending us this to review and for allowing us to keep the radio for free. With that said, my comments/reviews are just that MY feelings on their product.

We received this radio about a month ago, and as itchy as I was to review it that day, the company asked us to test it for a month to get the full feel of the product.

http://etoncorp.com/en/productdisplay/microlink-fr160

A+

Reasons Why:

No batteries....
Do you realize this is a huge hardship on RVers, if you do not have electricity. And we do not and have not for over 2 months now and won't see an electric box until the end of October. And with our junk cheap ginny, we only use it to power our sewing machines and that's it. So the solar is a complete winner for us, and a huge money saver.

Solar.....
Again its all about our budget. And this has saved us so much money. We just place her in the sun and let her soak up FREE power and play when we feel the need for some tunes. We can go almost 8 hours of usage when the solar end is charged. So yes this is a sun seeker of our hearts. Better then any coupons for sure.

Crank.....
What do we do when there is no sun?? And this is an area we can really talk about because we'll it's more cloudy then sunny in this part of Idaho for sure. And to answer your question "WE CRANK" - well my wife cranks because this is a device is not handy for RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis) - my only negative remark, but in all fairness, most things in the techie world are not RA friendly - because RA is evil to the human world. There is math to the crank and a science to this. My wife cranks 500 times and it will provide 2 hours of usage. 500 times, I kid you not and the major upside to this my wife says, it's a stress re leaser and it's great exercise to boot. So if my wife is happy then that adds to the thrill of owning this solar radio.

Weather Alerts....
This is supported by the American Red Cross for so many reasons. With all the Mother Nature against us this year, this handy machine will provide a safe/fast/reliable source to the outside world in times of need. A must for RV folks who need all the time in the world moving their homes out of danger. We've had several friends this past year that were saved by the simple thing called a weather radio.

USB Cell Phone Charger....
Our winning feature is this. Charging our cell phone on this tiny little radio. We found ourselves about a week ago with a broken ginny and no way of charging the cell phone, until my wife remembered the solar radio, and wow we were saved that day. When in the woods, this little feature can safe your life in a great time of need.

Built-In LED Flashlight....
The one feature we use the most. I tend to have to investigate the noises of the woods near us, when the dogs get set to barking to protect their home. Often enough this summer it's been about the porcupines that share the same space as our RV does. Friendly and cute they are and only because the light allows facts to shine through instead of an active imagination I am often accused of. So kudo's to this solar radio for giving  my wife one less reason to pick on me.

And this concludes my review on the Safety Preparedness with USB Cell Phone Charge and Crank-Powered & Solar-Powered Radio which plays a lot of country music (you'll have to wait on my article about country music and my new sort of love for it).

We highly recommend this by a long shot. We use this daily even though it's meant as a an emergency backup. So with that being said and knowing we use ours everyday, should tell you if you use yours just for an emergency that this is a smart purchase

~keep one in your car
~keep one in your home/or emergency room shelter
~keep one in your garage
~keep one with your camping gear
~keep one with your hiking backpack (it's tiny and light weight)

Dimensions: 5.25" X 2.5" X 1.75" (w by h by d) and the weight is 8.5 oz

Approx price $29.99 and as for color choices we are not sure outside of red and black

Strange Noises in the Night

I am a complete ZOMBIE today. Tired is the game both my wife and I are playing today. Last night  at about 8:30pm while we were watching the Centennial (my wife's new favorite movie) movie, we started hearing chewing noises. Looked at the cat and he was fast asleep. Oh course, my wife states "dang it, it's another mouse". Then about 1/2 later we hear coyotes, and then about a half hour later after that, we hear the strangest noise of all. A weird squeal of some sort. Sort of sounded like a moose. Well, this went on for about 45 minutes and I just couldn't take it anymore. I braved the wilderness and headed out barefoot to seek the sounds. It turned out to be porcupines (2 laying right near the RV). They must of been married because from what I gathered, the noise was a verbal fight while they were laying down. Strange but it was also beautiful).
What kept us awake is the dang mouse. Finally about 3:30am the cat went to work and took care of the problem ----> The MOUSE. Just in time for the 5:30am alarm. And there you have 2 successful zombies.

Small Town Post Offices are the BEST

Post Office visits for us can be a dream or a nightmare. We've noticed the small towns have more umpff (my wife's word). They really are much friendly to go to and we are honored to know some awesome workers from the Spirit Lake, Worley and Rufus and  June Lake are our top 4 pick for best service. Rathdrum falls last on our list. Customer Service gets you far in life (hint). But we love to visit post office all over the USA and have seen a number of them - since after all we do own a on-line business. I love this little one in Plummer art work.

I just wish to thank Spirit Lake, Worley and Rufus and June Lake for being GREAT. And for the wonderful service they provide - I know at times it's not easy, but all the same a big THANK You

Soda Was Killing Her

Congrats to my wife, who has been soda FREE for one year now. I never knew anyone who could down a 12 pack and then some of soda. My wife could. Then last year she had a mini stroke after suffering from Bell's palsy  which is a paralysis or weakness of the muscles on one side of your face that mimics a stroke or often confused as one - in my wife case she suffered from both almost at the same time frame. The doctor told her, that soda was linked to strokes and if she wanted to be healthier and live longer to QUIT.
The hardest thing in the world for my wife was to quit drinking soda, worst then when it was for me to stop smoking (yes, my wife would not marry me if I smoked).  Today she is soda free and is doing better then well. She's dropped to date - 16 lbs. A size 6 again and much happier. I am happy to report, I am 178 and that makes us both healthier.  So congrats to both of us. What a TEAM!!

QSI Mica Gate in Worley Idaho

Home at last. Well, more like we've been here for a week. I've been working a lot getting things organized for a an easy summer for a change. My wife, has quit her job to team up with me full time and it's been an eye opener for the both of us. We survived the winter only to be slammed in the face for spring. But with good karma on our side, it's anything but a slam but a BLESSING. For the first time in 3 years we'll catch our breaths and even have time to smell the roses. However hard work is still in store for us to "REBUILD" --------> my summer word. Rebuild my faith, rebuild my relationships, rebuild my savings, rebuild my strength.
I am lucky, I don't have to do this alone. I have God, I have my wife, I have my friends, and I have my family. So there is no alone in this REBUILDING.
Quality Service, Inc is my summer family and I can't thank them enough for the 3rd year with a different office view.
