Rattlesnake : 65/100
Today marks the first time I have seen a rattlesnake on our land. It was more than 500 feet from where we live and spend most of our time. I am not thinking about relocating it but it is a good reminder that we have company out here. The great news is that rattlesnakes love…

Start with a note : 64/100
As I am writing blog posts I get new ideas. A lot of the time I let the ideas go without making a note. Sometimes I let the idea sidetrack me from the original post. There is a 3rd option that I am starting to use: make a new post and add some thoughts on…

In the Weeds : 58/100
The thing about weeds is that pretty much any plant can be one. The qualification for being a weed is that you are a plant that someone doesn’t like. This opinion is based on years of research talking to dozens of people in the farming/gardening community here in Mancos, CO. For the most part I…

Alfred Snippets for Speed : 56/100
Since I work on a laptop I try to be keyboard focused for speed. The trackpad works fine but the keyboard is much faster.
