Thanksgiving 2012, the Rest of the Story...

These are photos from our Thanksgiving this year. It was a wonderful weekend with the family. It was really great to see everyone and catch up after so long. There are videos, but I am waiting on my new computer before I get those posted.

This was the wonderful set up in Llano, Texas on my Aunt & Uncle's ranch! It was very cozy for the whole family and if the conversation got dull you could always let your eyes wonder over to the assortment of toys around us in the barn.

 

 It's finally time for dessert!

 Spending some quality time with the family!

 This is Levi. He has been around a very long time! Every time I am home I wonder if it is the last time I will see him. He has been around longer than any dog we ever had! He doesn't get around as well as he once did but he is a good dog!

How in the world I did not have any flats this trip I will never know!! I ran directly through multiple cactus and other "sharp" plants and yet not one flat tire. Tire slime really works!

 Scout ran through a cactus and had thorns all through his leg. It took a little while but we extracted all the thorns. He was a good sport about the operation. I noticed he tended to stay out of the cactus after this!

 

KDX fun...

More photos and video to come. We had a lot of fun riding on my parent's ranch! Jessie did really well on the wide open gravel roads. It was what she always wanted to do on a bike. Though, I think it may have spoiled trail riding  a bit for her. Time will tell though.

We road on various types of terrain while we were in Texas but most of it was beginner friendly. There were only a few steep sections that were a little more fun and they were generally the result of erosion. We really got a lot of riding in though and had a blast riding around with my Uncle and cousins on my Uncle's land. It was a wonderful way to spend Thanksgiving!!

New Computer

Well, we finally took the plunge. After months of messing with our current system, we ordered a new computer to replace the one we have. Having the new one on hand will allow us to diagnose which component was causing the issues as well. In the end, we should have two working computers hopefully. It will be wonderful to surf the internet and work on projects without having the system randomly shut down or freeze up on us. Hopefully this system will last longer than its predecessor did! I can't wait to edit all of the video that we have been collecting for months now. It will be nice to finally do something with all of that footage.
