The Hogsty

Morning. 41 degrees, and look at that: it's raining. What a surprise.

Daughter and husband just left for the hospital for baby having. Hoping everything goes well for her.

My husband and kids all enjoyed eating raw stalks (sans leaves) of rhubard out in the garden. Just the thought sets my teeth ...

Morning. 52 degrees and (surprise!) raining.

Wilted salad at our house was salad greens, tomato, and crumbled bacon, lightly drizzled with melted bacon grease. No milk. We lived in beef country, not dairy. The first time (and last time) I saw milk used as salad dressing was when Roy's North Dakota ...

Bacon drippings improve almost anything. Did you ever have wilted salad?

48 degrees and precipitating that weird small-droplet stuff they have here. Have boots and raincoat, shall go outside later.

Morning. 50 degrees, raining, flood warning. At home, there's a red flag fire warning. Gonna be a long summer in Wyoming.

Thanks for the dvd suggestions. I'll try them all when I get home.

Three-quarters of my ancestors came from Ireland, either because they were native or because they stopped ...

Fifty degrees and raining on Harstine Island. 63 degrees in Natrona County, but is supposed to hit 80 by the weekend- in mid-March. Yep, move along, no climate change to be seen here.

I bought a small dvd player a while back but neither of my computers support it. Do either of y'all know if it ...

Morning. 43 degrees on Harstine Island, no wind, and some kind of wet stuff falling from a gray sky. White stuff is gone except in protected spots. My raincoat is, naturally, in the trunk of my car. I need to go for a walk today, wet stuff or no.

My sixteen-year-old grandson bowled a 300 game (or do I mean series?) yesterday. Three. Hundred. No pins left standing. By the time he bowled the last square, most of the people at the bowling alley stopped their own games to watch. The bowling alley owners gave him a card for a free dinner at a ...

Well, it's morning in Wyoming, anyway. Only 11:03 p.m. here in the PNW. Gorgeous drive along the north side of the Columbia River today, then a long wait in line on a sideroad after a landslide blocked both lanes of northbound I-5. I don't have a GPS or a detailed map, but cut off the freeway at the ...

Morning from Pocatello. 44 degrees and air movement not worth mentioning, unlike yesterday's trip across the southwestern quadrant of Wyoming. Holy cats. South Pass was especially envigorating.

I don't get much in the field anymore, but all the sheepherders I met back in the day were Mexican. Ran ...

Morning. Checking the weather and then I'm off to Pocatello. 45 degrees and a steady 50 mph wind that I'm going to be driving straight into. So much for gas mileage.

Tom, we'll do it one of these days, and if Mike can get up from AZ and Fearless Leader from Texas, we'll have a grand time. It's dumb ...

Morning. 27 degrees, air moving at less than 20 mph (translation for non-Wyoming people: still). A big winter storm moving into Montana and Idaho is fouling my plans for leaving for Washington on Sunday. Checked out the map, decided I can leave tomorrow morning, go south through Kemmerer then up to ...

Morning. Overcast, 66 degrees (SIXTY SIX), and looks like the wind has worn itself out for the time being. It's moving, but not much.

Javelinas ain't scared of no cactus spines- or much of anything else.

Morning. 52 degrees, 35 mph wind. Looks kinda clear, kinda not.

We had lunch with everyone in Yellowstone, then headed down the road to Clark. I recall folks talking about blowing snow/rain. But I've slept since them. You, Mr. Iron Butt, probably wouldn't notice a little thing like a summer ...

Morning. 48 degrees, sunny, wind around 40 mph.

My son cowboyed and worked for volunteer fire in Clark for several years. He said he watched one 100+ mph gust pick up a fifth-wheel horse trailer and set it down a few feet away. He and his family were living there when we had the rally in Red Lodge ...

Morning. 36 degrees, sunny, and the wind is howling.

Morning. Cloudy, 32 degrees, skiff of snow, and not much air movement.

Ha! Clever ostrich farmers. In the San Luis Valley of Colorado is a reptile rescue and bird sanctuary called Colorado Gators Reptile Park. Started out as a tilapia farm and opened to the public around 1990. Alligators and crocs ...

Morning. 50 degrees, sunny, 20 mph wind, more or less. Probably more. Wind is rarely less in Wyoming in March.

One wonders what makes a guy get up in the morning and say, "I think I'll belly flop onto a cactus today."

:-P A sunny morning in central Wyoming with 50 degrees and some gentle air movement.

That's interesting, Mike. I've eaten prickly pear fruit, but I'd have to be mighty hungry to snack on mesquite beans. Both proliferated around our house in Kingsville, TX.

In college, my graduate ecology class ...

Morning. 37 degrees, cloudy, no air movement. There are freaking jonquils blooming in the yard. In 48 years in Wyoming, I have never anything bloom this early.

Yeah, they're technically pronghorn, and buffalo are technically bison, but mostly people just say antelope/goats and buffalo.

Roy said ...

Morning. 48 degrees and a promise of rain, which I will believe when I see it.

We've had goats, the domestic kind. I'm not a big fan.

Morning, and a happy March to everyone. 54 degrees, air is moving gently, partly cloudy.

Mike, I am not even going to think about how your pygmy goat managed that particular feat.

I am, however, going to use the rattlesnake/goat analogy at some point. The antelope in question were two does. They ...

Morning. 42 degrees, wind about 20 mph, looks like it might be sunny out there. Sure doesn't seem much like the last day of February.

Are you talking about goat goats or speed goats? We once watched a couple of the former stomp the daylights out of a rattler.

Just noticed we're moving in on a two ...

Morning, gentlemen. 44 degrees. Wind is blowing, sun is shining, supposed to reach 44 later today. Yesterday was my husband's 77th birthday. I got him the Complete Calvin and Hobbs Collection. It arrived just as we were leaving the house to go out to my son's place for dinner. Perfect timing ...

Morning. 43 degrees, sunny, and the air is moving right along. Had a pretty good little spate of hail yesterday, followed by a few drops of rain, but nothing very useful.

Morning. 51 degrees, 45 mph wind.

Poor fellow, forced to stir the sauce himself. I hope he recovered from the trauma.

Morning. Currently 46 degrees. The air is quite enthusiastic and supposed to get more so later today.

I finally got my license renewed yesterday. Called to cancel todays appointment, but "press 5 for all other questions" only resulted in the automated voice repeating the menu. Phhtt.

Morning. 43 degrees and a bit gloomy. Wind is supposed to pick up later.

Back to the DMV today for the third damn time to get my drivers license.

Las Vegas is not on my list of vacation choices. Crowds and noise freak me out. I've stopped there for gas and that's all the exploring I ever did. My ...

Is this where the discussion of the Cokeville basement house came up? Just in case, here's an article from Cowboy State Daily:

Morning. 22 degrees and sunny. Suppose to 44 degrees later. Good-bye, snow.

May you and your lady enjoy yourselves enormously, Mike.

Morning. 10 degrees, still, and sunny.

Whenever I went to Colorado, I unloaded my gun and put it in the trunk. Usally dropped the ammo in the console by the driver's seat. On one trip, I went with my daughter to the courthouse in Boulder, which is kinda like California on steroids. She was still a ...

Morning, gentlemen. It was -6 when my husband got up around 6:30. I slept until the temperature was a more reasonable 0 degrees.

I was the only person at the SS office- in and out in about fifteen minutes including the time it took me to go back and lock my handgun in the glove compartment of the ...

Morning. 0 degrees, about four inches of snow on the ground. I wouldn't leave the house if I could help it, but I have an appointment at 11.
I'm not in such a howlingly hostile mood as yesterday, but the day is young.

Is it a small satellite office of a full blown building of government ...

Must be nice. I have to go down to the SS office with my birth certificate and marriage license to alleviate the situation. I hope it alleviates the situation.

This state is so red it drips blood and the little idiot who is our secretary of state is doing his best to exert absolute control over ...

Morning. 35 degrees, overcast, and just enough breeze to make it feel colder.

I have an appointment at 8 to try and straighten out the problem. I hope this doesn't turn into a goat rope.

Morning. Long, stupid, idiotic morning at the DMV. Couldn't renew my license because of a spelling discrepancy between my name on the driver's license and the name on my social security card. Have to go back tomorrow and talk to a supervisor. This has not mattered in fifty-four years. I do not know ...

Morning. 44, sunny, enough wind to blow one's hair around and ensure looking messy upon arrival anywhere. Today is off to the tax accountant day to find out the damages of working hard yet not being a billionaire.

Morning. Windy, overcast, 48 degrees. This afternoon I have to get my business account ready for the tax accountant with whom we have an appointment tomorrow. It's mostly in order, but not quite. Sigh. "Not quite" tends to turn into a couple of hours before I realize it.

Happy Valentine's Day. 44 degrees, sunny, 25 mph wind. Our mountain is south of town. Makes giving directions easy for those of us who are right-left challenged.

Morning. Kinda overcast, 39 degrees.

One cloudy too-early morning, I got turned around at Salida and went north instead of west. I don't like to retrace routes, so I turned off on State 24 which roughly parallels I-25. I intended to drop back down to I-25 via the next farm road, but ended up taking ...

Morning. Sunny and 40 degrees with respectable wind movement.

Upon legalizing marijuana, Colorado's population exploded. I-25 traffic was always challenging, but now: uff da. 287 was doable until the truckers figured out it was a good way to avoid sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the freeway ...

Cloudy, 28 degrees, no wind, but 40 mph gusts expected later.

We made our will a couple of years ago. Before that, I had a holograph will, which is legal in Wyoming, but a real live estate attorney is better. In our case, we used the attorney I'd worked down the hall from for eleven years. He's ...

I wish I could pick it up in my backyard, but I doubt that's gonna happen.

It was a grand adventure to ride with that many people, even in Dinero's puttering along group. To the end of the universe, my friend.

Morning. 27 degrees, overcast, and some weak sunshine leaking through the haze. It tried to snow last night, but got discouraaged. Only managed to ice over my windshield.

We trailered our bikes to T's place in Big Spring the year we went, mainly because we were concerned with hitting a spring blizzard on the way home. We rode over to see my aunt in Waco, stopped in Kileen to ride with some folks, then went down to Cloud Riders. Turned out that we got colder riding ...

Live like the ride ain't ever gonna end.

Everything is set up and costs us about $60 a month. No contract. No mini dish, which would be cool. We live on a ridge with few trees (most of the ones in the area are in my yard) and they found a line of sight to the main tower.

Afternoon. Cloudy, 52 degrees, and the wind isn't doing much right now: maybe 15 or 20 mph. It's supposed to pick up considerably later on with gusts up to 55 mph. The internet guys are out trying to figure out where to put the radio receiver. We need a clear line of sght to the tower and there's ...

I saw that, too. Maybe Tom mentioned it? T's about the age I was when I had to give up riding. The spirit is still willing, but the joints are weak.

Morning. 51 degrees and if the air is moving around, it's not doing much. Return to winter predicted here, to, and my joints agree.

Eh, too bad about the batteries. Some consistency in such things would be welcome.
