Wildfire… Nah. Unfortunately, not the Michael Martin Murphey song. As I drove to work this morning, the smoke from the Fishhawk Fire outside of Cody was rolling in. Cody is 2.5 hours away from me… so no worries here… It reminded me of our biggest, closest wildfire we had waaaaaay back when my kids were…

Salt
Just *this close* to being done with the table… but not quite! So on to other things… I never showed you the finished salt shed… in its permanent location on cement. It looks pretty sweet! It doesn’t take long to load 300 pounds of salt and mineral to take around to the cows. Just stay…
Done. Or Not.
I’ve been building a table. I’ve shown you pics in “Project” and “Unfazed”. I’ve continued… trying to figure out five steps ahead of myself as well as upside down and backward. I’m not exaggerating. I had to figure out how to get my legs attached and put on the apron and level the top, all…
Mystery Smoke
The dogs and I piled in with Vernon to head to the mountain this afternoon. I was just to an exciting point with my table, but decided to abandon the 90 degree heat for something cooler! We had to get clear to the top before we hit some cooler air. There’s stories to tell of…
Secret
I’m just about to finish a secret project… it’s been taking a fair amount of time. However, it’s for a friend, so until it’s completed, packaged, shipped, and arrives… I can’t fully share. It’s so hard to keep it a secret, just because I love sharing the step by step photos, but I think you’re…
Moving on the Mountain
The distinctive clang of the horse trailer gate signaled another day of cowboying in the Big Horns. Four horses were unloaded. However, one of them wasn’t Panama. Instead I had volunteered for babysitting duty. As you know, it’s rough country from my other posts about this same gather. I have a knee that’s acting up,…
#TBT : Oh, Daddy, v.2.0
This entry was first published September 9, 2008. FINALLY! the rain and cold has left us and seemingly the first nice day we’ve had since Labor Day Monday was yesterday. We’ve received almost 2″ of moisture since then, so we shouldn’t complain, but I do miss sunshine! Itching to get out and about, the dogs…

Swallowing Stones
We took the time to stop and look into some history. While Vernon had known there was a tiny community in this area once, we didn’t know where certain foundations remained. A relative shared with us where the school house foundation was and, unbelievably, we walked right to it! Great directions, L.! Thanks! You can…
Unfazed
Getting as close to the action as he can. I can honestly tell you that power tools do not faze this little guy! Please ignore the rest of my chaotic life…
Cowdog Thang
Still working on my table… There’s not a lot to show you… except sawdust. Lots of sawdust. Sanding and sanding and sanding. It’s only 19″ x 45″… but the legs need some heavy duty sanding since my table saw blade evidently is a little off… I will post when there’s more to see! As I…
