This was first posted October 23, 2015. Finally, I’m getting to the Q&A’s!!! Carolyn: How did the plastic tags work for weaning Brandon’s calves? I was telling Joe about it yesterday, but have either missed the blog saying how it worked, or you haven’t mentioned it yet. Carolyn, you didn’t miss a thing! I had asked Brandon to…

Wordless Wednesday: Fall Colors
For a jigsaw puzzle of the fall colors in Lord’s Gulch, go HERE.
Slightly Sketchy
I spent a couple hours at the well again. As I arrived, much of the drilling rig equipment was being hauled away. The guys were busy covering up the trench close to the well, smoothing out the piles, and planning for more trench work. When there are three guys working in concert, it’s amazing how…
Well… Some More
Well… some more! Today we laid some pipe. Two thousand feet of it! Lorelei and Quinlan came along to help. I walked along just taking photos. Especially when they headed down the hill! It doesn’t quite reach the corral, but that’s ok, we have more pipe. In fact, we laid another pipeline next to this…
Well…
It was interesting to go to the new well today. We were curious what the temperature of the water was. It turns out it is 59* coming out of the ground. It produces 45 gallons a minute. The trench is almost to the well… Vernon does great work!
Another Burton Generation
Brandon, accompanied by Lorelei, had just stopped by to turn off my water temporarily. Lorelei had mentioned she had wanted to go shooting her .22. She is in the middle of taking hunter safety with her 6th grade class and is enjoying it tremendously. While I was giving them some eggs, I received a text…
Impressive
These guys are gone. They did hit water, thank goodness, which set in motion, this guy. Vernon is our trenching expert and he’s been working on prepping for a pipeline to the new corral. It looks mighty impressive and it’s just the trench! Just wait until various tanks go in!
Throwback Thursday: Hunting Cat, v.2.0
This was first posted 10 years ago, October 16, 2015. Having authors come visit Ten Sleep is one of the most enjoyable parts of my job! I enjoyed my time with Scott Werbelow two days ago and then this is what popped up in my history. Cat Urbigkit, you are missed and loved by those…
Wordless Wednesday: Cloud Basin
I’m standing on the Big Horn Mountains looking across to the Absaroka Mountains while the Big Horn Basin is full of whipped cream clouds! Everyone below had a grey, foggy, cold day while we were enjoying the sunshine! It doesn’t happen often but these inversions are pretty cool to experience! For a jigsaw puzzle of…
Hunter Fest
Tomorrow is opening day of hunting season, so that means today was Hunter Fest. Free lunch. Raffles and items for sale… And, of course, our special table… And our special guest… Scott Werbelow, author of “Son of a Poacher” series. (Book IV out soon!). Buy one or all, you won’t regret it!
Good Day
With friends visiting from the Midwest, it was on the schedule to go to my special place. The day was supposed to be nice, but clouds rolled in and turned the morning cold. It really didn’t look like a good day to travel up the mountain. Nevertheless, my side by side was full of friends….
