The Blue Goose XRC

I have no idea if the following is true; it’s the story that I found for this video: Rockwell International decided to get into the heavy-duty automatic transmission business. They were getting ready to tape their first introductory video. As a warm up, the stage crew began what has become a legend within the training industry. This man should have won an academy award for his stellar performance. This was strictly off the cuff; nothing was written down. He had NO SCRIPT! This was a rehearsal for camera, lighting, and stage crew. It’s all made up as he goes along. I have no idea who owns the rights to this video – certainly not me. If you have more information, leave a comment. And enjoy the video – it is timeless!

So, we headed home from Colorado. This is just a variety of stuff from along the way. When we got home and ready to unload the Goose (Maverick Sport XRC), it was clear the trip wasn't over yet. The 32" inch tires provide great bite and lots of ground clearance - along with mud everywhere. Looks like a thourough cleaning followed by some "Mud Buster" fender flares are in order with these larger tires.

We take our side-by-sides out for a spin in the San Juan National Forest. Stayed at Echo Basin Cabin and RV Resort near Mancos. Colorado is wet, muddy, green, and incredibly beautiful this year due to all the snow and rain. We saw no evidence of major flooding, so it has been a wonderful year. Every lake we saw appeared to be full to the brim. We had to turn around several times due to heavy snow drifts across roads leading into the high country.

NOTE: This is a 70 minute video documentation of this train ride. Unless you REALLY like trains, you may want to review the shorter version on this same channel. On June 19-20, 2023, we visited the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge RR. We chased the train down the highway on the 19th, then took the round trip ride on the 20th. Colorado was beautiful and green from all the snow and rain this year. The Animas River was running bank-to-bank, but we saw little evidence of actual flooding.

The San Juan mountains of Colorado are beautiful this year! Green, lots of snow (still), and lots of running water. We took our SxS's out for some snow, mud, dust, gravel, dirt - we got it all! Praise God for his wonderful creation and for all the rain and snow this year!

On June 9-10, 2023, we visited the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge RR. We chased the train down the highway on the 9th, then took the round trip ride on the 10th. Colorado was beautiful and green from all the snow and rain this year. The Animas River was running bank-to-bank, but we saw little evidence of actual flooding.

For us, it was a day ride to nearby Gardner Canyon to meet our camping friends for a trip to Aliso Springs The day was cool with potential rain, but it ended up being a brilliant day for a ride up the canyons. We were greeted by a flock of wild turkeys - I'm sure they went home and said they were greeted by a gaggle of wild turkeys (LOL).

My grandson, a new driver, tries his hand at driving the Blue Goose. He is already becoming an excellent driver as well as a fine young Christian man. We are all very proud of him and thank Jesus for Eric! Enjoy your ride along with us in a beautiful place and on a gorgeous day!

I got tired of leaving my truck out in the sun/rain so finally put up a carport for protection. Nice job for Star Aluminum in Tucson, AZ.

I worked for 30+ years for a pipeline company that operated two pipelines that initiated in El Paso, Texas, terminated in Phoenix, Arizona, and traversed through this area. This is some digitized 8mm tape video of us travelling through the area. Ed Majalca was the pipeline Corrosion Technician at the time.

It doesn't happen often, but when it does it is really beautiful. Enjoy!

After 51 years of marriage, we try to take 1 day a week for "date day" and do something special together! We've had lots of rain and Mt Lemmon is just about as pretty as we have ever seen it. Even the burn scar areas are bouncing back. Of course, it didn't hurt that we were headed out for a drive in our newly acquired F150!

Desert Chrome Landscape - Forest Cowle If you want the very best workmanship and installation for your landscape project, Forest Cowle is your man! The Desert Chrome crew was here for 12 work days and we have never seen a harder working crew. They started literally with a dirt lot and created a wonderful landscape for us. Forest recommended quality materials that the Desert Chrome crew then masterfully installed. I cannot tell you how pleased we are with the results. We give Forest and Desert Chrome Landscape our highest possible review score – we hope to find other projects where we can invite them back to our property! We highly recommend them for your projects as well. Brad - Tucson

Photos & video from our recent trip to Gardener Canyon. This was a wonderful trip with unbelievably good friends - only God could create something this satisfying and nice. As I review these photos, however, I'm left with the question "Who are these OLD people?". James 4: 14b says, "Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone." Just yesterday I was a teen-aged boy - now! I don't recognize the old man looking back at me in the mirror. We want to make the best of our limited time left here on earth. May God be praised and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ be glorified in all that we say and do! Brad
