By MICHAEL MOSS
Eight years ago, federal officials were struggling to remove potentially 
deadly E. coli from hamburgers when an entrepreneurial company from South 
Dakota came up with a novel idea: injecting beef with ammonia.
The company, Beef Products Inc.,

Seems to be little activity here so I thought I would give an update.

I managed to make it to the Ozarks in early September.  I started
clearing a space and made arrangements to have a shop built.  The
weather slowed clearing and put off the shop building until next year.
The area is mostly cleared and partially graded.

In early November I left the Ozarks to spend a month with my son in
Asheville, NC.  I was late getting out as the rains filled the creek.
We had to dig a drain to get the creek low enough for me to pull the
trailer out.

I spent a month in Asheville and left there in early December.  My wife
and grandson flew in for Thanksgiving and a good time with too many eats
were had by all.  I was delayed several days in leaving Asheville
because of rains and resulting mud.

I returned to the Ozarks for a bit.  The major excitement was having the
trailer brakes fail on a very steep gravel hill.  I got down the hill
only by having a friend chain his pickup to the back of the trailer and
we went down very slowly.  I was there for just over a week, time for
several dinners with friends and to winterize the trailer then I headed
back to Southern California.

I arrived in Southern California a few days before xmas and have been
busy since.  My son in LA has been putting together a race motorcycle in
the garage and we made a visit to my mother in Sunnyvale in the bay area.

Plans are changing rapidly.  My wife has submitted her retirement papers
at the school.  She has had it with the silly politics and budget
problems at the schools and no longer wants to deal with them.
California is facing another $20+B budget short fall with a completely
dysfunctional government.  Schools will get hit hard so they are
offering early retirement inducements.

I still plan on moving to the Ozarks but now have more people to consider.
