Had to Go into Hamilton, WOW!
It was a long day at the ranch. Much of the time spent was waiting around for the cattle wrangling. There weren’t too many places one could evade the rays of the sun, but there were some. I made my way down the embankment towards the thicket of woods to find refuge from the sun. […]
A Moment of Reflection on What Happened in Texas
While everyone was working on the ranch, I snuck away and quietly made my way up creek. The news out of Texas was hard to swallow and I just needed to get away and reflect. As a father myself, I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around the emotions. There are no words to […]
First trout of the trip and a moose encounter.
Boy, the days sure are long here. At half past nine in the evening there’s still enough light to see. I’m sure by mid-June, during the summer solstice, it’ll still be light out by sometime after 10. Ha, I can sense some of you far northerners rolling your eyes and thinking, “10 aint noth’n. Come […]
I didn’t realize I had allergies this bad
I didn’t realize I had allergies this bad. When I arrived on Monday, I was feeling fine. As the day wore on, however, I noticed my sinuses were really starting to act up. The stuffiness, runny nose and sneezing was progressively getting worse. I tried to keep a positive attitude about it and shake it […]
We all have something odd we do
We all seem to have a bit of odd behavior, which to us seems like normal behavior. Many can go a lifetime without anyone finding out. For others, it’s behavior that is publicly overt. These quirks can be anywhere from amusing to off-putting. Myself? I’m no exception. Day break has come early. I detect the […]
Oh Yeah, I made it
3am came around rather quickly. And like always, I was up before the alarm clock. I paid particular attention to the inside of my place today. I looked around thinking, “Wow, this is the last time I’m going to see this place for a while.” I guess I had been thinking about this day for […]
Less than 24 hours before I leave
I wasn’t sure I’d be able to come back to my morning hangout spot in the woods, before I leave for Montana. I had too many things to do before my trip which kept me fifty some odd miles from home the last three days. It’s 2:50am here and not as cool as I expected, […]
My gear is ready to load
Ugggh! That was painful. I had something completely typed out and I lost it all. Save, save, save. I should know better by now. How frustrating. Okay, let’s try and recreate it. As I was saying, before my computer decided to hick up and lost everything I had typed, I feel like I have all […]
This is the last time I visit here
Provided I don’t have business that drives me into the city early in the morning, my ritual of coming to this place every morning is coming to an end, for several months anyway. In fact, it is conceivable this morning is my last. By this time next Monday, I’ll have hopefully landed safely, without incident, […]
