I hope you all remember my cousin Robb… I choose to share his amazing adventures here because no one I know personally does this kind of stuff but my cous! I love him! He’s an amazing adventurer and pretty dog gone good photographer along the way! Here’s his newest installment! (ha… he’s an accountant when he’s…
Street View
I took OOPE pictures today… I took video yesterday… I received a new email from Cousin Robb for his Out of Scope segment… but! I have also been playing this evening showing my sister Google Street Views while chatting on my computer. If you didn’t know about this… you ought to check it out. I…
Snow Dogs
Today I took some video while we sorted and bunch weighed our steer calves. I managed to get some great stuff, but it needs some work. Instead of staying up until midnight, I decided to share a short clip from the other day. I had taken the dogs for a quick hike and this is…
Somedays…
Do you ever have those days where there is so much information going into your brain and rattling around that you know you won’t be able to sleep? Today is one of those days. Brandon and I went to a Range Management Workshop today, so we have lots of new terminology and ideas ricocheting around…
Floor
Well, it needs 4 more cut panels and the little pantry yet… but I think I’ll declare the floor done! It wasn’t that hard once we figured out seams and grout lines and centering and the 3 patterns we had to work with! We made mistakes that cost us time and extra panels, but we…
Bar Log Video
Here’s the video I promised. Yes, it is long and I’m sorry about that… but I hated to leave any step out! This sawmill was originally owned by Vernon’s great uncle who then sold it to the Mills Ranch about 45 years ago. My kids are thrilled to learn how to run it. They…
Bar Log
Up at the Mills Place is a sawmill. Ped and Gary, the Mills brothers, both enjoyed working this sawmill. Vernon had helped Ped a time or two, but had never run the saw. Now, Gary wants to keep the sawmill, so we don’t own it, but ever since we’ve bought the place, my boys have…
Roads
We made a flying trip to Billings today. I hadn’t planned to go because originally it was just Vernon and Victoria going to Cody to finish up the paperwork on her new car. But Vernon said since they would be halfway to Billings, why didn’t I go along and we’d figure out our cabinets. See,…
Meanwhile…
While I was going through my traumatic evening last night… plans did continue and we did have our bonfire. Remember the Cat that came through this fall? This was a smaller pile she had left behind. It took a little doing, but they managed to set it aflame. I finally gathered myself together and went out to the…
Starting on a Good Note
Starting on a Good Note! She’s back… Vernon woke me up this morning with the news that Dally was out in the yard. She seems OK… tired and hungry… we were up until midnight and the kids even later, so she had a long night of whatever! Vernon thought she was in heat, but if…
Ending the Year on a Bad Note
I painted today…from 10 am until 4:30 or so. Content with what I had accomplished, I left the house, braving the ice rink that is our parking area… Elsa was at my heels. Lucas was by the garage and quickly came at my request. Dally was nowhere to be found. It is now almost midnight,…
Struggles
Today the English Shepherd breed is having a major good news/bad news day. The good news is that today, a puppy miller/dog hoarder is being put out of business. She has 200 English Shepherds at her place outside of Billings, Montana. The bad news is that these dogs range from pups to 6 years old…
