We had a great Turkey day dinner with the neighbors yesterday. Great food, played DIrty Bingo and had some laughs.
Even though Advocatus Diaboli couldn’t join us, we thank them for cleaning up and allowing use the Greenroom! We hoped you all enjoyed your day in Albuquerque, again Thank you guys!!
Don’t worry we aren’t leaving Advocatus out. Advocatus Diaboli as you may notice is very secretive and doesn’t like people to know his and the bands identity. We feel VERY lucky we get to know them as a performer and a person. Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band will be having Thanksgiving dinner with us on Thursday.
It’s a chilly Monday morning. We are hoping to get some good sun today. Yesterday, we did get enough to charge up. Yesterday morning, Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band were able to get to do a little bit of rehearsal before we had to shut it down due to lack of sun. The PA in the studio is small but still pulls 3,000 watts. We did get enough sun to charge the batteries back up, so Brent was able to watch football last night.
Today, most of the neighbors are gathering together for a Turkey day potluck (though I don’t think anyone is bringing Turkey).
Good Sunday, we are working on day 2 of very little sun shine. Which means we can’t run any extra electricity. We can always start up a generator, but we try not to.
We really want to have the car back, it’s been almost 2 months and it still hasn’t been touched. The insurance hasn’t even approved the repairs. When we talk to the insurance company and the body shop it becomes a blaming game. The insurance is saying the bodyshop bit off more than they could chew and 2 months behind. But yet the insurance company hasn’t even approved the repairs.
We where told if we want the dents fixed it’s going to take months.
This is our first dealings with Progressive and I have to say we are not impressed at all..

Good Thursday morning! I had to check to make sure it really was Thursday. Why is it so hard to get projects started let alone finished? We have been busy with so many other things that we haven’t had a chance to start the projects we want to get done.
But it’ll all get done, maybe a little slower than what we had hoped for..
It’s nice have others here, we are really enjoying listening to Advocatus Diaboli rehearsal, helping them out. I can now let you in.. it’s official Advocatus has bought themselves a little place adjoining our place.
So they are here to stay! A few flew back to pack up their belongings, and should be heading back by the end of Dec.
It feels good to have people you’ve only seen in concert to become such close friends. We hope they do good things here in New Mexico.
If you’d like to see Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band they will be playing here at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun and soon coming to a bar, club, event near you!!

We are so greatful that Advocatus Diaboli treated us and the neighbor in the apportuntity in seeing the Metalachi: The World’s First and Only Heavy Metal Mariachi Band in Sante Fe. If you haven’t heard or seen them, I highly recommend it!
Since we took yesterday off, today we had to get some work done here at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun .
We cleaned up around the wood pile, we had some campers leave us some kindling that had been boxed up, but the boxed fell apart, leaving a mess.
While Brent was cleaning and burning, I worked on raking around the firepit, the pricklypear garden, walking sticks, yucca and the stump. We just started raking the yucca, making a hole around them to get rid of weeds and to capture more water. I haven’t finished them all yet, but slowly getting them.
It’s already Monday, hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! We spent the weekend helping Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band get ready for some upcoming shows.
I have never been involved in setting up a show, watching Advocatus Diaboli and Brent Colquhoun work together and seeing g the talent, and seeing what they can achieve together is just so exciting! I look forward to seeing the next show, no matter where it’s played!!
Advocatus and Brent are working on a venue change (so it’s not weather dependent) for the Dec show. We will post more information once we know more!

It’s a cool, frosty 29 degrees out here in the desert this Sunday morning. While waiting on the coffee to percolate. This morning we got to hear Dreugan cry because Amigo took his spot on the couch.
After the dogs figured out the couch, we get to enjoy Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band having an early morning rehearsal. Which we really enjoy hearing! We’ll be out and join in with them in a little bit, but for now we are enjoying the music and morning coffee.
Sometimes i feel we need a bigger bed.. Dreugan has to sleep touching me. It can get tight in bed with a 100 plus pound dog laying at the end of the bed. Sometimes like in the photo he likes to stretch out. Amigo will come and lay with us usually a couple times throughout the night, usually to wake me up to let them out. Nothing like being woke up to a 80 lb dog standing on top of you to make sure you’re awake.. I move he rushes off the bed towards the door, if I don’t get up by time he gets back he pounces me..
Most of the time I love the dogs, but I question that love, when I get pounced, especially in the ribs… 😕 🤔
