Welcome To The Bar-K Ranch QT

My wife Gabrielle and I are looking for a regular and reliable babysitter, (mostly evenings). If there is someone in the neighborhood who is interested, or if you know someone, please let me know: bruce.felix@gmail.com or 303-847-4972
Thank you!

Good morning! We will be burning a slash pile over here on Jed Smith today.

Good Morning!
We will not burn today but will likely pick it up again tomorrow on Monday 2/8/10 given the accumulation of some new snow. We will likely be burning in the RFB 9 unit that is north of CR 52 and west of Gold Hill by about a mile. We may continue burning in the unit that is south of CR 52 within sight of the road.

The Jamestown/Bar-K/Left Hand Area Community raised $2307.00 last night at the School's Chili Cook-off and Silent Auction,(a new school record)!! As well as, $125.60 for Haiti. 33 pots of Chili were donated!
How about that?

Sara Milligan, who agreed to babysit for any and all children at the
Fundraiser also donated her $50.00 paycheck right back to the school!
How about that?

In a Time of Economic Downturn, I Gaze Up at The Sky
by Michael Blumenthal

The sun came up this morning, just
as I knew it would. My morning coffee
tasted exactly like yesterday's: a tad bitter,
but nonetheless revivifying. The faces
of our dead Presidents on Mount Rushmore,
are still there, speaking of their trials
and tribulations from their scenic outlook
of granite. Tonight, when I get home from work,
my lover will make her way downstairs,
wearing my favorite underwear. We'll lie
in bed, pretending to watch a movie, both
knowing what we really want. The Dow,
no doubt, will continue its slide, just as the moon,
that lozenge of indifference, will continue
its path downward among the clouds. All of us—
sun, moon, coffee, clouds— might feel a twinge
of guilt: such indifference to profit and loss!
Yet, all over the world, tiny birds with broken wings
and injuries of all sorts are making their way
back to their nests, even the waterlogged anhinga
is drying its wings in the sun. It's good to know
so much keeps going on, despite everything.
Come closer, sweetheart, let's put the film on pause,
let's profit from whatever we've got— before
the closing bell, before the riffraff of recovery
finds us and brings us down again.

Road report:
No abundance of traction ANYWHERE in the canyon...not a lot of snow but still pretty slick.
Take your time and drive safely!

Hi,

My car has to stay at the garage over night. Is there anybody who can give me a ride up to the Bar-K at the end of the day? Any time after 4pm would be good. I'm at 30th and Arapahoe.

Thanks!

We burned on Monday the 8th on the unit that is about 1 mile west of Gold Hill and south of CR 52. That unit is complete and we will check in the subsequent days to make sure the piles are out. We also burned a unit farther south near Switzerland Trail (Gordon Gulch area).
We will be burning again tomorrow north of CR52 and west of Gold Hill finishing up the RFB 9 unit as well as potentially burning north of the Overland Road in JC 1401. So we are back in Jamestown area burning with the new snow. Thanks for the heads up on the road conditions in the canyon.
Thanks

We burned today north of Overland Rd. within unit 1401. The piles have been secured but flames are still visible. Personnel will be on scene for another couple hours from now monitoring the piles. They will be checked again tomorrow. You will be able to see burning piles from the road as you drive up or down Overland Rd. Piles were burned along the road so will be quite visible. The orange area on the picture of the unit above is the location of where we burned today.

We also burned on the RFB 9 unit which is west of Gold Hill and north of CR 52. That unit was completed today and we will be checking those piles tomorrow.
