Wind, sand storm in the Desert. Plateau Hame De Colquhoun

Yesterday we had 55 mph gusts, 30 mph sustained winds. Having dealt with winds many times, we have learned how to better deal with it. We try to make sure everything is anchored down, or protected.  We were lucky we didn’t get too much damage. We did lose the cover for the dog food bin, water and sand got into the bag. We had the bin protected from the southern winds, but when the squall hit the winds and changed directions instead of south, it changed to the west.

I was on the phone with my Mom Linda Rone  at the time I saw the lid fly by, but we couldn’t go out and grab it out of fear that when we opened the RV door the RV would fill up with sand. So we waited for the winds to settle a little to go out and try to save the dog food.

While talking on the phone just before the dogfood lid, I had seen a deflated balloon fly by that read “Happy Birthday”. We have no idea where this balloon came from.

We did have a few smaller items fly off, but nothing we hadn’t recovered. I had a big tote full of vendor supplies (about 50 lbs or more) stored under the Greenroom, that the wind caught and moved to the middle of the yard.

Snowy Day here at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun

This winter we finally got a little bit of snow! It’s very pretty, but we are glad it only lasts a day or so.

This morning I let the dogs out, thinking they wouldn’t stay out to long.. But nope the boys (Dreugan and Amigo) don’t want to come in, not even for breakfast. Weillow (Our 12 year old) on the other hand couldn’t get back in fast enough.

So now I sit here, work on a few Plateau Hame De Colquhoun things, drink some coffee and wait for the boys to let me know when they want in.

Today is one those days we are winging it on what we do. We want to go to Albuquerque and pickup few things for JAFO Productions and would also like to return a Masters propane heater we bought at Tractor Supply Co. .

We wanted a heater with a more Btu for the RV, and use the Buddy heater in the Greenroom or the Studio when we are in them. So we bought a 18,000 btu Masters, but it isn’t working right. It will ignite but after 15 minutes it shut off, then nothing.. We’ve changed tanks, tried it in different locations, blew it out. It Ignited and ran for a couple hours, then shut off, now won’t light. Even letting it sit for 12 hours . We are thinking the Thermocoupler is bad. If it was something we had for awhile we’d fix it, but we haven’t even been able to use it.

Plateau Hame De Colquhoun Ghost?

I have to share this video I recorded as it’s just  cool. Brent Colquhoun  and Amigo the dog (who was 6 months old yesterday Jan 20th) making his nightly rounds checking things out here at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun . Brent is wearing all black, so he looks like a ghost.

Dreugan is the vocal dog that lives at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun.

Dreugan, Weillow and Amigo all live with us here at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun. Dreugan is a 100 lb 2 year old Huskweiler that lives to talk. Amigo is our 6 month old Lab mix, he’s our thief he loves to steal socks and keeps stealing Dreugan’s toys and hiding them.

Dreugan has to stay tied while outside not because he takes off (though sometimes he scares campers) but because every time we allow him to run the yard he gets sick. We do let him off but we try to monitor him. He loves chasing lizards, yucca roots (we know yucca root isn’t the issue as him and Amigo’s favorite toy is a yucca root), we are thinking the issue is the lizards. He does have allergies so could be many things, but when he stays tied he doesn’t get sick as often. Plus he is very vocal (husky side) his looks and size tend to intimidate people.
