My kids enjoyed the fact that I snapped this picture at a customer’s plant.

The evening glow by our pond

Another farm flyover

The end of a fall day, on the ranch.

Andy’s new glasses.

I love A Kid!

Andy’s building an articulated hand with his 3D pen...!

Not a bad way to end your 16th birthday... Driving lessons with dad.

Happy birthday to Steve and John!

These two are very special to me! One thing for sure, neither of them take themselves too seriously. There is always fun and laughter close at hand!

Evening lights

This is one chilled cat!

The look, and the look, says a lot! ;)

I love this kid's goofy and happy go lucky attitude!

750 feet up, and legal.

I found a 353 foot tall cell tower to hover over. You sure can see a long ways, up there. I flew with my large iPad Pro. Feels like virtual hang gliding.

We need to keep more of our history!

Everybody wants to tear down old, sturdy, timeless buildings full of character and replace them with flimsy square boxes...

IO! Let’s hope that’s the final nail

They didn't make it easy, they never do. We'll take it. 13 of the last 14. I'm starting to expect it...

Now we're all Alabama, Auburn, and Notre Dame fans!

Now there’s hope? My mom must have took her scarf off?

Just as I'm typing, the center shoots it right over Barrett's head...!?

THIS is the Buckeye’s problem today!

Make up your mind mom! ;) 💕

1st quarter, no yards... -1!? Come on guys...

Happy B&Bs birthday breakfast to my two favorite Johnnies!

OH! Here’s our latest conspiracy theory... There’s always hope...?

Miami rated #2 lost yesterday. One down and 4 to go... Notre Dame could loose to Stanford. Clemson could eventually loose to Miami. Auburn could beat Alabama but Auburn would then move into the top 4. Georgia would play Auburn or Alabama. Ohio State could knock of Wisconsin. There is an outside chance still but I think OSU would need to win big in the last 2 games. At any rate, I'm ready for today. It's really all that matters, in the season!

Go Bucks!

Don’t know about everyone else, but I really like this picture!

A drone's perspective of a birch (I think it's that and not a sycamore?) tree. I always like the way their color stands out from the rest of nature, around them.

Gosh I’m glad I’m not a girl!

This is one of thousands of "required" products... Carzy!

Julie has been working so hard on physics and math!

This is the first volume of her math notes, spanning three years! She finished filling it, this year. She took a picture and added the glowing halo effect so we could remember it for all time! It's her magnum opus!

I appreciate all her efforts!

Emily nails this tail whip!

My family.❤️ Now that’s a LOT to be thankful for!

The boys got to participate in a robot camp, Wednesday.

It was a nice field trip and break from school. They programmed Motoman, FANUC, UR, Raspberry PI, and tried their hands at 3D printing.

Ten years can go by so fast!

The boys are always digging up new pastimes

To Andy, it's all built on a house of cards!

A little thank you, from work.

I’m thankful for God’s beautiful nature, this week!

I guess this is becoming a nightly ritual?!

Taco Cat! 🌮 🐈

A palindrome too.

Julie knows when to call me up from my office!

She knew I was going to want to see this sunrise yesterday!

What a face! Johnny uses pics like this, as “cat bribes” to try and get what he wants, from me. Haha!

Sometimes it works!

I love you Julie! 💜

She continues to work through the algebra and physics, for school. She's even found isometric graph paper for some of her notes. Nice pyramid!

Window shopping 🐈

Job hunting, with dad!

What happened to Emily?

I think LeBeau is wondering the same thing (lower right corner)...

What has gotten into this cat?!

Johnny’s graphic design classes.

Johnny's been taking classes on various graphic editing software. He's currently working through the SketchUp tutorials. He used a Rubik's cube, as one of his projects. He Face-Timed me, all excited to share. :)

This is when you say, “Awwwwww”!

Andy’s fun, from the guy’s retreat, this weekend

Spying on the neighborhood projects again...

Crazy good control...

This is where my drone landed, totally autonomously, in a 23MPH wind...! I flew for an in-air total of time of 49 minutes today. Wind speed averaged 21! Handled it pretty good, way better than I would have ever thought. 🙂

And to top it all off, with my new phone (iPhone X), my phone battery only dropped about 15% over the entire time. It would have been Near death 💀 on my previous phone.

Cube geeks!

Progress next door

44, Really!? It’s great we can still have fun when we’re all such geezers! ;) 🎉 🎂

I love you, Susan!

Our pond from a different perspective

At least it's nice and full, from the rain recently. ;)

Cool church building in Cedarville

Andy enjoyed the leaves, this weekend.

He even constructed am igloo style leaf house!

This what happens after David gets asked to empty his pockets - a third time! Haha

We were in a force on force active shooter class. First, they said make sure you don't have any firearms on you (I had obediently left mine in the car). Then they said, don't wear any pocket knives. Finally, they said just go ahead and empty your pockets... Always prepared... ;)

Julie is heartless....!

She urgently calls me into the bathroom, at church, saying there was "A GUN in the bathroom!" I go running in to find THIS! She had a good laugh at my expense...

Operation Christmas Child is in full swing!
