Just updates:

Greetings all, just a note to let those interested in the updates of the AZ Dickson's, at least in Tucson! We've had a great fall, nice rains, cooler temps. We made it through another summer and now we have 5-6 months of glory! YAY!

Sept and Oct 2018 in the books...went fast, were good months. The Los Charros ride was on of best ever, except poor old Justice's age is catching up to him and I'm thinking he's best being retired as a grandchild horse for those interested. 

In Tucson: Halloween party coming up Saturday: I'm going as a black plaque "doctor"; Lynn's going either as Black Plaque patient (ugh) or a steam punk girl, not sure which. 

 Sunday is a 24 hr call for Lynn so I'm thinking of making a trip to Phoenix for a grandchild fix...and maybe even see EJ and/or Ash!

  Fri the 2nd is a Mountain Oyster Club Anniv dinner, Saturday the 3rd maybe a trip down to the Empire Ranch in Sonoita to see western theme doin's there, then the 3rd I've got to get to the ranch. If Droughtbuster is in a good mood I'll take her up.

 That next week early is a trip to Kansas for appts with the feds for some stuff and some archery deer hunting, then home. I'll likely still be in Kansas for Veteran's Day; did anyone know that Veteran's Day actually started up from Emporia?

 Thanksgiving will be low key for us this year; Lynn works the Wed before, the Friday after, and the again all day Sunday. Bummer.

 The 5th of December we go to Las Vegas for our NFR fix.

 Then, anyone ready for Christmas???

Love to all,

Update..

Greetings all, 

Quick update;

Panama trip was just plain awesome.  Never would have figured would be so fun.  Of course having good friends as locals with private yacht didn't hurt anything. 

En route Wichita KS via Williams- Gateway in Phx. Destination Manhattan KS, 50th college fraternity reunion.  Unbelievable it's been that long!

 Photo from this am....poor bull died by combat, Atlas' south pasture,  along the road.  Richardson found it, gets the antlers,  Wolf people get the meat.  Estimate 5 yes old. Sad to see.

 Off to board!

Love to all,

Info re: Tucson Dicksons

Hello Family,

 It's been quite a time since I've written anything here, all to spare you from more junk.

 Anyway, it's been an unbelievable first half of 2018....skiing in Aspen and Winter Park of course, couple of trips back to Kansas including the reunion with Addie, successful turkey hunt with my cousins, Jim Shepherd bought his little winter home on a nice golf course here in Tucson, a wonderful summer week in Winter Park, a fun week in Carlsbad CA with Ash/Erica-Jeff and kids, and some time at the ranch.

   A "best vacation ever" was had with Inger in France when Lynn and I met up with Inger in Paris, drove down to Blois (on the beautiful Loire River) and took a week long horse ride down the Loire Valley sampling crazy good food, great wines, great horses, and of course the chateaus along the way. The next week was spent in Paris and what a fun time that was. 

  Had that little incident with the Bonanza in late May but it's all good again and we are back in the air gaining more confidence every flight!

  Anyway, Lynn and I tomorrow leave for an adventure in Panama.....we will be in the city of Panama for a day or two, then we leave for an adventure in the jungle in a little jungle village, then back to Panama City, then to a private yacht for several days sailing out among the San Blas Islands. We'll be with a bunch of Los Charros friends, one who's uncle owns the yacht (he is a past president of Panama...). Sounds like fun, eh? We'll have a good crew and cooking staff too.

  We will out of contact of all wi-fi and cell when in the back country and at sea so if anyone is looking for us and we can't get back to you, that's where we are. We will be back in contact around the 9th of September.

  Bon voyage,

Love to all, Dad/UR
