Early morning on the mountain on my long legged horse… Saddling at 5:30 was the plan, but saddling 8 kids’ horses is rather a chore and then tossing on our five saddles… the guys still ended up driving up the mountain with the sunrise glaring in their eyes. Not often do we have all the…
Pieces, Part Two
To continue my story from the other day… The frame was unloaded, trundled over to the rest of the disc mower, and the brackets and tires bolted on. There was more shifting, wiggling, pushing.

This was first posted August 28, 2011. I’m needing to finish up some details on my projects so I can count them as completed. The last thing needed in my bathroom is the decorative “chair rail” that I originally hoped to cover in fossils. Alas and alack! my fossil stash is too poor to use…

Lectric Bike First Impressions
Well, I took my new electric bike out for a spin. I thought I’d just run it around by my house… and I did… but there are plenty of ruts and rocks… so I headed out to the highway. I hadn’t grabbed a helmet since I was staying right here, but I did have the…
That Time of Year
It’s Longmire Days! I blasted over to Buffalo, Wyoming with a friend. She was picking up a mini red heeler puppy and we had a couple hours to wander around. First came the craft fair… Then a trip to Bucking Buffalo Supply Co./Longmire Headquarters. I made a quick trip in to the Jim Gatchell Museum…
#TBT: Expanding Family Portrait, v.2.0
This was first posted August 19, 2011. The other day, when Brandon finished his metal Centennial sign, we decided to take some photos.
