A scene I see is in back of my study.
What you see is a 500 gal. propane tank in the foreground, my battery enclosure with two
solar panels on top, and a military generator; the snow has been on the ground
for three weeks, this being January 8, 2007. It is the remnant of about five feet
of snow we have had over these past three storms.

This is standing in our drive looking north; there are solar panels out about 100 yards.
The wind has been blowing for three days and fills in everything overnight (Jan.8, 2007)

Inside my study
The latest setup of my work space: on the left behind the Bible is my No.1 computer;
it is a Gateway Essential with a 40 gig hardrive, pentium III, 500 mHz speed,
Windows XP Home operating system,
with CD burner and DVD drive, a work horse seven years old and full of files,
pictures, and programs, and compter telephone; the center behind the 15" flat monitor,
is a 'rat's nest' of wires, cables, switches, a router,
a modem to a satellite (with 500 k up and 2 mg. down);
and power strips; on the right behind the concordance is
computer No.2; a Dell with an 80 gig hardrive, 2.4 gHz speed, and pentium IV,
and Windows XP Pro operating system.
To the right and down is my cell phone on a yeggi antenna, and work table that I made;
I also made the drawers and the table the computers sit on.
Above the Gateway you can just see the bottom of a
Canon PIXMA MP 600 scanner/copier/printer;
I also have another smaller printer, a four drawer CD copier, a CD recorder,
and a Canon Power Shot S2 1S digital camera.
I will add two more computers for the folks coming here to help.
This is where I spend 10 to 12 hours every day.

Bookcase
This is a bookcase I made to hold my Bibles; I have about 50 Bibles, most of which
are stored in here, but they are not simply run-of-the-mill Bibles; these are the
best and most accurate Bibles ever published; I have several of the English Revised Version
published and dated in 1885; it is the forrunner of the American Standard Version which is
acclaimed as the 'most accurate version ever made'; I have several of the
'wide margin' ASV's that are so hard to find now.

A look at the back door...first storm

Steps up to the back deck...first storm

Another look at the back door; when you get up on the deck, you DO NOT stomp
your feet unless you want to be covered with 200 pounds of snow...first storm.

This is the way it looked a month after the first storm when we had four storms
one after the other leaving us about five feet of snow. The barrels are are frozen
solid; we can get water out of the big tank on the left late in the afternnoon when the sun
thaws it a bit.
