And, thankfully, tonight it’s NOT smoke…
Skyline Rainbow
Again. Smoke. Right by Rome Hill Road… and the boys take off. Vernon stays at home, just in case. Half an hour later… smoke about two miles away. Off he goes. The boys get alerted they might need to leave the other fire, where there are other tankers and fighters and come back closer to…
Big Trails Dispatch
Unfortunately, I had the chance to be Big Trails Dispatch once again. A small lightning storm blew through just after supper, with a few nice CRAAAAACKS on top of us. When the phone rings about two minutes later… your first response is “craaaaaaap”. (Sorry about the vulgarity there…) The guys soon rolled on to the…
Shiver
Another favorite. “Ernest Greet and Shiver” What a horse Shiver was! and doesn’t it make you wonder… how’d he get that name?
Cool
I feel like I didn’t accomplish much today… They weren’t very physical, I guess! I started to scan some of the old family photos… after figuring out the best way to do it, it went fairly fast. Scanning at a higher dpi slowed the process down extensively, so I didn’t. I imagine I may regret…

Boysen Dam
For any Wyoming history buffs out there… Here are two photos I found interesting. Boysen Dam is south of Thermopolis, Wyoming. Construction began in 1946.

Old Photos
Gah! I’m SO disgusted with myself! I wanted to enter some photos in Casper’s Wild West Photo Fest like I did a couple of years ago… and I kept thinking the entries were due the last of August. I looked at the form today, and the deadline was yesterday. I AM SO MAD AT MYSELF! …
For Now
Been working on this one a while. I’m not completely sure I’m finished, but… for now…
Wordless Wednesday – “National Dog Day”
“There’s a National Dog Day????? Well, pllllll! What am I? Chopped … Oh, wait… Forget I said anything.”
