This morning while feeding the steers. Damn. I'd pay good money for a snow right about now... Just came in to cool off some. Humid and 91 degrees outside.

Good amount of snow here in the Rock this morning too. Yeah, chains required over South Pass. I was going to go try fishing the Sweetwater River tomorrow. I'll bet it is over its banks, and the county roads getting to the good holes would be a mess.

I'll bet it is over its banks, and the county roads getting to the good holes would be a mess. Mud to the axles and snow drifts over the roads. Supposed to be still snowing, blowing and rain. Other than that, should be a wonderful trip. Here's what they look like in case you've forgotten, Sweetwater trout, last summer: Looking Northwest up the Sweetwater country from Oregon Buttes.

[URL=http://s121.photobucket.com/user/CharlieB401/media/My%20Knives/006-7.jpg.html] [/URL These remind me of the top drawer of my Dad's desk, the bowl on top of his dresser where pockets were emptied, his tool and tackle boxes, the glove box in the car, ... He always had a Schrade pocket knife handy. Yep.....they were the gold standard "back in the day"... I have a cigar box full of the latest greatest more expensive pocket knives but I still carry an old Schrade 99% of the time..... It's a shame what they've turned into these days though.... Not to change the subject but that picture turned out kinda weird.... If you scroll it up and down rather quickly the knives apear to be opening and closing....least it does on my computer.... You have to right click the courser on the right side of the screen and move it manually (if that makes sense).....it's a pretty cool illusion if you can make sense of my directions...

If you have a pair of healers do they get along?

If you have a pair of healers do they get along? I don't think they are much different from other breeds in that respect. I had 3 for a couple years. One was a grouchy old male, losing his hearing, long in the tooth, pretty quick to throw down with other dogs. I was concerned when I brought an 8 week old heeler into the house. That puppy pestered him relentlessly. He would scold the pup, give her a sharp bark and growl, but he would never actually hurt her. Many times I thought she deserved it because she was a major nuisance.

What lake is that? Are you upstream from the dam or downstream? That's probably a dumb question, I guess you're above the dam and it's just low.

This had been our traditional spring fish camp lake for 30 years. Through an older generation that that has gone and now the young tag'alongs are the last generation... with tag'alongs coming up.
It went dry 5 years ago, lost all the fish but carp and cats in the mud holes, at least what could be shocked. The lake was dead and we've had to move spring fish camp to another, less accommodating for large groups, lake.
Literally broke my heart, with all the memories and family/friend history.
My buddy was in the area and decided to go see how much water was in the lake, an old couple was pulling their boat out of the abandoned boat launch. They hadn't been to the lake in years and didn't know it went dry.
They had 40 crappie in their ice chest.
When my buddy got to cell service he called me all excited. We canceled what we had going yesterday and hauled ass up. We caught 23 keeper crappie and a ton of 8 to 10" bass. The crappie were in size groups of small to medium. So they have been spawning at least 3 years. Some obviously survived 5 years ago.
The lake is still way down, and no one knows it has fish, but my wife and I were just saying not long ago, we would never see that lake have crappie in our lifetime again.
Yesterday was a truly happy day for us... an old friend yet lives.

The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.
