An end to our winter storm...

Well the clouds are clearing, giving us a chance for a cold evening. I'm willing to bet it will be in the low 30's in the morning, if not colder. I've spent the past two afternoons getting ready for the cold season. It really took it's time getting here this year... I just wish I had stocked up on my firewood, like I had planned... So much for preparedness!

Always looking for a good MOD

Owning an S-10 Blazer I'm always on the lookout for good modifications. I saw this beauty the other day, but was on the clock
and could not get my cell phone out to take a pic. After work today I saw it in our parking lot and to my surprise it has a matching trailer... Sweet. I'm so doing this to mine.

Snow?

Yep, we had a nice dusting of snow last night, as soon as there was enough light, I snapped this quick pic of the local foot hills in town. Believe it or not, we had a lot of snow still on the ground at four this morning. Nice thing about this area, is the fun of watching it snow, seeing it on the cars and houses, and not having to deal with it on the ground all day, week, or months on end!

So as the big orange focuses on an early Christmas season (been decorating since September!) at least it feels like the right season now! Just saying...

Enjoy the weekend!

In other news...

Last week I received a package from my great aunt Mary. I wasn't expecting anything so this was a shock, I quickly opened the box and found this cool bottle holder! She sent it to me as a trophy for all the snakes I killed this year. (grand total was 13 snakes... All poisonous!) It will be proudly displayed on our bar... Thank you aunt Mary!

One hell of a dog...

Princess was our old girl. She's been with the wife and I since we were married. Four moves, two states. She barked at every loud noise (thunderstorms were not her favorite times) she hated the sound of gun fire, running and hiding every time we went target shooting. She would go on long walks with me when little one was still in a stroller. She was the mother figure for our other dogs. Always grooming them, she was the monarch of the pack. In her prime she weighed in at 97lbs! And was well over 70lbs today.
A great dog, and we felt as if she was one of the family. She'll be missed, but we are glad we had her in our life.

Well now we have four other pups running amuck around the ranch. Three labs (two mixed with wolf) and a healer mix.

Just one of those days...

This is going to be a short post. Our old lab, she's 12yrs old, is going to have to be put down. Her eye ruptured last night, and is bleeding pretty bad. We knew this day would happen, when she was diagnosed 4yrs ago with a soft-socket, and glaucoma. The vet told us without surgery she would only have a good 6 months, she's been a spry little pup the last few years, and has been a very happy puppy... May she rest in peace, with her friend who we lost last spring to a porcupine attack. Life in the sticks.
