This was first written and posted December 18, 2009 First of all, here’s the photo of the young golden eagle from yesterday. My camera was left in the car and I was too lazy to walk out in the cold and retrieve it last night. I just hope he remains intimidated by all my…

#TBT: Out of Pocket, v.2.0
This post first appeared November 20, 2008. You ever heard the term, “She is out of pocket.”? Basically it means someone is unavailable, out of touch, gone, removed. That was me today… at least in one sense. We worked our heifers, so I had to cancel Lucas’ reading session at school. Waaah. Oh, well. On…
#TBT: “Ooohhh… Wyoming Wind, v.2.0”
This post was originally written November 14, 2008. Tucked away as we are, sheltered from traffic and people and other disturbances, it still comes as a shock when the infamous Wyoming Wind blows. Now I basically grew up in Casper, Wyoming (since I was 12), and it is famous for its wind. Gusts in the…
#TBT: Dirt, v.2.0
This was first posted November 10, 2008. What began as an invigorating hike morphed into one of those meandering strolls, like Lucas and I experienced here. But instead of Lucas being exhausted, it was me! I feel so good lately, I go out and try to do activities like I did before my PE incident. That…
#TBT: Ah, the Romantic Life…, v.2.0
This post was first published October 20, 2008. I’ve heard it many times. Heck, I used to believe it myself. How AWESOME your life must be… you live on a *RANCH*! Well, it is true MOST of the time… It is the small percentage of times when you are doing things like today, that most…
#TBT: Exertional Rhabdomyolysis, v.2.0
THIS WAS FIRST POSTED OCTOBER 3, 2008. HONESTLY, ONE OF THE WORST DAYS I EVER HAD. Sounds yucky, huh? Well, I can attest with my hand over my heart, tears in my eyes, and a sinking heart, that it is much more than yucky to witness. What is it? Basically it is when your dog…
#TBT: Here They Come… There They Go, v.2.0

#TBT: Gotta Go, v.2.0
This was first published September 15, 2008. Sometimes, just sometimes, when Vernon says he has to run to the other place for some odd quick job, I just gotta go. I gotta stop looking out my living room window. I gotta breathe some clean air that doesn’t smell of fried potatoes and laundry soap. I…
#TBT: Wildfire
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…
