MojoHand; Good evening to you sir, thanks for the photos you've shared, I too have very much enjoyed them. You must have missed the big fire they had down there last year - it was a bad year in our part of the world. I say our, because Lake Chelan is only 3 hours south of us and the terrain is quite similar, but the valley wider than up here. This for instance is on the little hill behind our house looking south. Thanks again for sharing your photos and all the best to you in the upcoming weeks. Dwayne

Dwayne,
Have always enjoyed your photos of nature and family. Thank-you for posting them. You live in a beautiful area, for sure. Didn't realize you were that close to the border.
We did just miss the fires there last year. We were there the week after the Fourth of July. That winery I mentioned...the owner actually was out trying to douse flames across the highway from the winery. Luckily, they and most of Chelan, survived.
It ain't what you don't know that makes you an idiot...it's what you know for certain, that just ain't so...
Most people don't want to believe the truth~they want the truth to be what they believe.

MojoHand; Thanks for the reply and kind words sir.
Yes it was a bad, bad year for fires in the Okanagan last year on both sided of the medicine line.
My boss got evacuated 3 times and when the wind blew from the north we smoked out northern Washington as bad as they smoked us out when it switched.
Thanks again and all the best to you this spring.
Dwayne

BC30cal Nice pictures of branding and cow-calf herd. Branding at our close friend's ranch is in two weeks. It is one day of the year I really look forward to.

Kent; Good evening to you sir, I trust the day treated you acceptably well and your fine family even better. This thread needs a wee bump so if that's okay. One daughter talked her sister into this near Whistler This guy went by later on that day, so the other sister said that looked like fun As it turned out, it really and truly was.... This 3rd year production 10/22 and this pile of parts. Became this and she's smiling because she did all the work herself. Kootenay Lake moon. We'll see what else we can scare up yet sir, but all the best to you all until next time. Dwayne

Ha! I was hoping someone would bump this thread up, and you did it shore'nuff.
Don't know about you but my family makes me look better than I really am. I'm always concerned if someone meets me they will be disappointed.
Your family looks good on you... real good bud.

Kent; Thanks for the reply sir, it's good to hear your clan is doing well. Yes, it's been a different year for us for sure as both our girls are currently living 7 hours away on Vancouver Island, though one will be back home from university in a couple weeks and the other will be going on her next travel adventure in July. More random then Kent - tour of the Buck factory in Post Falls. Spendy cooking knife I traded into and really, really like No elk or deer came home that morning, but shaggy manes were what was for breakfast along with onions and eggs. Used to collect 22 ammo - right part of the bottom shelf is Canuck made by the way. Flash flood that eldest and I ran into one hunt. That's a cattle trail she's beside... Just a day we went up the tall hills to the west for a drive. Its a good thread for sure Kent, so perhaps someone else will saddle up for a bit too? All the best to you all again this spring sir. Dwayne

Pic from a motorcycle tour through Arizona back in '08 or so. Take note of the max speed...still not sure how that got there.
