Trees? Sure you're not in Idaho?

Slow burn.


Like a candle.

Made in China :-((

Sunburst Montana, north of Shelby.

Holy Sunburst not!

Yes,

and while I'm not 100% sure, I do believe needlepoint involves a needle and thread (yarn?) . Depending on what is being needlepointed, perhaps some thick fabric, one might just need a thimble.

In Rosey's case, one to fit him (and Jim maybe? ) could serve double duty as a shotglass too.

And, if his needlepoint didn't involve thimbles, I'm sure Rosey would still be proud of Mr. Conrad for engaging in the manly art of stitchery.


Conrad at least has changed his avatar so as not to be accused of being less manly, especially when combined with mentioning his taking up sewing. He's a brave man for letting us in on his clothing repair hobby.

While perhaps the emergency title is not warranted, I'm glad our Western storms are finally getting some due respect by "the Media".

So many years one would here about the "severe weather warnings" in the Midwest, or tropical storm/hurricane warnings on the Gulf and East coast. Yet hardly ever a word about the huge storms coming down out of the Gulf of Alaska every year, with hurricane force winds on the PNW coast and over the passes in the mountains, storms that cover all or part of 6-7 states, drop temperatures multiple tens of degrees, drop feet of snow and rain, and generally wreak havoc.

Bias abounded, might even call it "Coastist". As if we Westerners didn't amount to much, because after all, what's the storm hurting? Some forests and few cows maybe?

Jesus...5'?

I just got a call from Garfield county in MT, "Come on out for antelope and stay in my flooded basement."

Billings is a big town, hope it's not bad there.

Just drove through my 1st blizzard of the year, Sideways snow, 50 yards of visibility and a semi passing @ 1mph faster than the other semi. On a 2 lane road. I don't think it was 'Boomer. This was south of Wells, Nv.

JC, my FIL was a coal miner from Yorkshire and had the largest hands I have ever seen. He used a shot glass for a thimble, a true multi tasker.

Sam, good luck w/ that jacket. I once spent too much money on a Barbour Jacket for MC racing, it was horrible and I gave it away.

Kingston, it rains in China too.

To all; a good cowboy hat works great when peeing in a snowstorm!

To be completely honest I've been inside the house pretty much all weekend.

Kinda nice actually.


ZERO guilt about being a lazy ass......

Just wait until retirement.

It goes from zero guilt to negative guilt some days......................






on other days I actually think I should have accomplished "something"

Geno

PS, break in the clouds now, I think I'm going out to do something.

I chased the census woman off the place at 2000 hours last night.


All I have done.....cept a little sewing and cooking.....

I’m looking forward to the low getting under 70. It’s been a long hot summer!

Geno, some of the best help around is retired guys!

They generally don't wreck equipment and show up on time.

It works quite well when you let them work on their schedule, they aren't looking to do any overtime.......grin







Jim, you had more company than we did!

Pork roast and squash in the oven.



Current survival methods...

Got another inch of rain up here no snow yet. Been a nightmare harvest. Rain every week. Have the biggest durum crop There has ever been but basically all sprouted and feed quality. Been quite the year. Have 2000 acres yet to cut. Ugliest grain Ive ever seen

Colt, it makes me sick.


The only guys I know that are done cutting farm south of the river(Missouri).



It's a major wreck north of here.



I'm more worried now about haying than the little bit of wheat we have left to cut.

Still nothing here. 40 degrees. The mountains are looking fairly snowy with most of the snow on the eastern slope. Wind is down a bit so I think I'll walk out and see what the elk think of it. GD
