Did a few projects this month.  Replaced the shelves in the pool pump room:<\/p>\n

Stained the bedroom deck \u2026 was a little redder than I expected.  I can only image how red it really is to a non-color-blind person, but Helen likes it:<\/p>\n

\"20130713_120852\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Caught a mouse (I hired this task out):<\/p>\n

\"DSCN7612\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Re-potted a bunch of fast growing plants.  10 more years and they will likely be re-potting me:<\/p>\n

\"20130727_113133\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Moved a 20 foot cedar tree 20 feet, across a 10 foot retaining wall.   This one was a bit of a challenge, those root dirt balls are heavy!<\/p>\n

\"DSCN7577\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I enlisted a helper:<\/p>\n

\"DSCN7583\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And got a bit dirty:<\/p>\n

\"DSCN7588\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But it made it mostly in one piece.  I tied it up, as it no longer has strong roots.  <\/p>\n

\"DSCN7609\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m pretty sure it will die, but seemed like a fun challenge, and doesn\u2019t look dead yet, a few hot summer weeks later.<\/p>\n

We gave Helen\u2019s new electric bike a inaugural ride 20 miles up City Creek \u2026 I had a hard time keeping up:<\/p>\n

\"DSCN7540\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our friends Jason and Marie got a 2nd Dachshund, this one is blue: <\/p>\n

\"DSCN7636\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And really small, only a little bigger than my big toe: <\/p>\n

\"DSCN7691\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But from his stance, I suspect he will be fearless like his older brother:<\/p>\n

\"DSCN7707\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We took them up on a 4 hour hike up Grandeur peak, the 1 year old hiked all 3300 feet up on his own!<\/p>\n

\"DSCN7753\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The peak was 1 foot short of 8300 feet, so we jumped the last foot for extra credit:<\/p>\n

\"DSCN7754\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I took a tour of the new Salt Lake Fire, Police, Emergency building.  Largest net-zero energy building of its kind in the country, and it can withstand a 7.5 magnitude earthquake:<\/p>\n

\"20130726_185606\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a massive 15 foot LED display that shows real time police activities:<\/p>\n

\"20130726_182116\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And this is a map showing simulated results of how buildings will stand up after the big 7+ 1000 year earthquake that is overdue hits us.  Our house is one of the red dots \u2026 70-100% predicted damage:<\/p>\n

\"20130726_184337\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Its those darn mountains \u2026 to make them, you have to shuffle things up periodically.  <\/p>\n

But to end on a more positive note \u2026 those darn mountains can be pretty pretty, especially when they spit out rainbows, this one over Mount Olympus:<\/p>\n
