Hey what about this house Lisa. Main house is center. Dave's outbuilding is top right(green roof) where he keeps flight sim and junk. Is it far enough away?

This is getting interesting.......

Yup a tractor, Bill. Also looks like a vineyard... a pond... and that building is just about the perfect distance from the house.

Wouldn't happen to be on this continent, would it, Wes?

Roll a camper into a fully equipped garage and I'd have no reason to ever come back in the house.

I found them, D! And they welcome visitors. Wouldn't it be great to visit when they have some foals?! I think a field trip is in order. Wouldn't that be fun. It was around Yukon, wasn't it?

Yup. A vintage restored Air Stream would be perfect.

Hmmm.... let's see. Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, El Greco... partial to the stuff by the Old Masters. Also a fan of Maxfield Parrish, an American artist who did a lot of commercial work. His prints were found in homes everywhere in the 1920s and '30s.

I'm much more comfortable with that as a life goal rather than climbing a mountain or skydiving.

Lisa, thought this one would be nice with some pics. Picked Maxfield Parrish, hope got the images right, as not someone I'm familiar with but really liked the pics out the list you gave.

Ack, Wes. YouTube tells me the video is private and I have to log in. I don't have an account on YouTube - looks like in order to do I have to create a google mail account. That's weird.

I've been able to see your other videos with no problem.

Oh, Wes! I just took a look and listen. I'm not worthy of your efforts! But you played that beautifully. The pictures were a really nice accompaniment, too. Now every time I look at a Parrish print I'll think of you. (Hmm... there are two in my house...)

It is near Yukon...I have emailed back and for with the owners a little and they seem really nice and they do welcome visitors!
I would be so much fun to see the foals...they are sooo teeny when they are born!

We'll definitely bring the camera if they don't mind us taking pics of the babies. My kids would just flip, getting to see those guys. And pet them and maybe even hug them....

Wes, as always, you played this beautifully! Bravo!

Ladies, gentlemen, perhaps we could play this music in the background whenever I'll invite you all for dinner at my mere apartment! Here's what I cooked tonight, anybody is interested into tasting a sauté à la Carl?



For those who would ever want to give it a try, I just used a bit of frozen vegetables (I believe it's Artic Garden's Yin Yang mix...or something like that...) which I mixed with fresh mushrooms and slices of black olives. Before putting those in the pan I put a bit of oil as well as some lemon juice before cooking a nice salmon filet that I cut in small parts in order to mix it with the vegetables. Once the fish is well cooked, you add in the mix and when everything is hot and the vegetables are crunchy you add some cut spaghettini's that you have previously cooked.

The dish is mostly filled with vegetables but you can taste a bit of fish every now and then as you finish it and the texture of the pastas really adds something to the mix. I am definitely going to try this again (I'm thinking chicken would be a good idea as well but the good thing about this is that it would make an incredible vegetarian meal if you want).

Bon appétit!

Carl that looks really delicious! I love stir fry types of things. I'll give your recipe a try. Might substitute beef or chicken because I can't get my kids to eat salmon (darn them!) - in fact, I grilled some skirt steak this evening for dinner and there's quite a bit left over.

Thanks Carl.

Now I just hope you haven't poisoned yourself in your attempt at cooking. Really, looks tasty mate.
