Morning everyone . . . :coffee:

58° and might have to fire up the A/C today with a predicted high of 85°

During that trip to Oklahoma we also had fresh poke greens. Have had okra boiled, fried and pickled. Grandfather grew some in his garden one year and saw how fast it grew and waited until they ...

Morning all . . . :coffee:

47° and air isn't moving.

Yes I've had wilted salad, isn't it some leaf lettuce with some onion, bacon diced and milk heated and poured over it? I would have to look in my grandmothers cookbook published in '41 with a preface footnote saying some items that recipes call ...

Morning all . . . :coffee:

47° now, got up to 81° yesterday and supposed to get there or a bit more today and the next few.

When I was around 16, we took a family vacation to Oklahoma and one of our relatives cooked cabbage in bacon grease until it was just limp, best tasting cabbage I ever ate ...

Morning all . . . :coffee:

43° guess I won't be needing my sweat pants to go to the gym this morning.

Well as requested I cooked the corned beef in the crock minus the step of adding cabbage. Next thing I know, "this is too tough, did I cook it long enough". Yes I cooked it for the five hours on ...

Morning all . . . :coffee:

28° going up to 72'ish today

Yes is kind of hard to find a DVD / Blu ray player anymore. I think the last one I bought was a small Samsung one off line some years back that also could stream streaming channels to the TV before we got a smarter smart TV. I still have a ...

Morning all . . . :coffee:

13° and clear the air is still. The sun came out yesterday and any exposed ground melted off during the day. Guess I'll put the flag back out today as the high winds are pretty much over in my area.

When I went on my rides to ES or other group rides I always suffered ...

Morning everyone . . . :coffee:

15° the wind moved very quickly yesterday then the snow started around four, and our possible half inch accumulation turned into more like two to three inches. The wind continued while snowing and my truck has a drift overhang "nose". Supposed to be a high of 72° on ...

Morning all . . . :coffee:

Happy Pi day

26° air is just moving the flag, supposed to be extra swift again today.

I guess a few days ago they measured the wind speed up at Red Canyon in the high nineties or low hundreds.

There has been a few times when we were pulling the cargo trailer, when I ...

Morning everybody . . . :coffee:

27° and the air is resting over this way. Was pretty swift over towards the SE portion of the state yesterday. Semi trucks were napping from what I heard about. (As in lots of blow overs)

Really strange there are not more Basque restaurants here in Wyoming, from ...

Safe travels India.

I sure wish we would go out for breakfast or someplace.

Hopefully we get some more rain or snow in these parts later this week.

Morning all . . . :coffee:

22° and teasing us with a prediction of snow later today. The air is currently still and not violently moving about like yesterday.

Maybe there was a slight snow shower up on top of the Beartooth while we were still in the park during a slight rain shower. That really ...

Morning everyone . . . :coffee:

55° ? and the air is starting to move.

I forgot about AZ not going along with the time change. Wendover NV is the border casino town that SLC residents come to every weekend to pay their "NV taxes" (gamble). Used to be the pacific to mountain time zone change was at ...

Morning all . . . :coffee:

27° and the air here is currently still.

Yay, it's adjust your clocks ahead one hour, I've gotten the kitchen digital ones so far in the half darkness of the house until others arise. Later adjustments and fresh batteries in all the wall hangers.

Some sort of info news ...

Morning everyone . . . :coffee:

19° yeah, once the sun came up yesterday there was a trace of snow in the grass that didn't last much longer.

There were so many tourist "traps" along the roads and highways. I think some still exist here and there. There was the Double Arrow one I think somewhere ...

Morning everyone . . . :coffee:

36° and the air is moving pretty good, got a spritz last evening and the ground is damp again this morning.

Dad would always find a way for a small barrel cactus to follow him home whenever he went to see his mom or went to check the property at Dolan springs, they ...

Yeah I have tulips popping out of the ground in the back.

I had stopped for lunch at the Blue Springs Cafe in Illinois in 2017 on my return from the ride to Chambersburg Pennsylvania and the total eclipse was happening. Also toured ...

Oh yeah, speed goats is the colloquial term in these here parts for pronghorns, or also known as pronghorn antelope. I guess some insist ...

Morning all . . .

37° and predicting rain this evening.

Billy goats do have a habit of applying their own cologne, I guess it makes them sexy to the lady goats. Goat eyes really freak me out, something about the pupil shape and the way they stare at you.

Morning everyone . . . :coffee:

30° and still air.

It was a joke about how difficult a job was, like trying to stuff a rattle snake into a live goat. I could imagine a speed goat or speed goats doing a stomp down on a rattle snake. Would probably look pretty funny to see that from a distance ...

Morning all . . .

27° and slight air movement.

Sounds like Vegas was a great time. And the visit went well.

So going to write an article on how to get a live rattle snake introduced to a goat?

52°, 52°? and the air is stirring about.

Good luck on the DMV adventure today. IIRC ours here is only open Tuesdays, as I guess they have a small crew that visits between, Worland, Basin, Greybull and maybe Meeteetse. Last time I got my veteran marking on mine, just had ...

One year something happened with the TI, so we got a room at the Venetian. But boy was it a PIA to get from parking the the desk and then back to the room. Then for our next trip we tried the Palazzo, same room set up, owned by the same company, but if we turned off ...

I think there is one here in town a couple streets over from me.
When I was working at Gates Rubber in Denver, one of the guys on my shift had a basement home up in the mountains outside of town.

I remember going everywhere with a small folding Gerber knife, including getting past the metal detector at the airport, I would just toss it in the little tray with my keys and wallet and they would pass it around to me after going through the archway.

Yeah I ...

Now how many people were dumping warmed sea water back into the bay and just where did the money go?

Morning all . . . :coffee:

Hope your mission at the SS office was fruitful. Had to go to the one in Denver some years ago, with the daughter, to try and get a replacement for the grandson, because the sperm doner had lost the grandson's SS card, we sat there for ...

Morning all . . . :coffee:

5° and the snow showed up last evening and now we have a good 4 - 5 inches from what I can estimate looking at what is on the roof of the building in the back.

And just where is the SS office located here in Wyoming? Is it a small satellite office of a full blown ...

Morning everyone . . . :coffee:

31° and the air is currently still.

When I applied for my Wyoming CFP, using my DD 214, the Navy had misspelled my middle name, so we had to get around that little detail.
Then I had to renew it last year and silly me, I thought it expired on my birthdate, not on ...

Oh yeah, today is the start of the year of the horse in the lunar new year.

Morning everyone . . .

49° and the air is moving swiftly here.

Have to order up our tax software for our taxes.

Got some of the trailer unloaded, many of the boxes have gotten soft from repeated stacking and moving I will have to go through many and either discard things or repack in the plastic containers. Yay . . .

Morning all . . .

23°

Maybe today I get the gumption to start unloading the cargo trailer. Contractor for the driveway job never reached out to me this last week about the front porch deck and driveway job like he said he was going to do.

Morning all . . . :coffee:

Yeah, that's it, fainting goats...

The wife grew up in Denver, her dad always told her if she got lost driving downtown to remember that the mountains were to the West. Well when we lived in Sacatomatoes, there was a couple of times she was ...

On one of my return trips from ES I was riding up to I 70 in Kansas and whatever road I was on was a slightly rolling hills (?) area with a scattering of trees, there was a pasture of goats coming up, maybe they were pygmy goats, but I ...

24° and maybe up to the low fifties today.

Well I retraced my steps of going to Ingram TX back during the pandemic, and it was Sweetwater TX I stayed one night on that trip. But if the weather holds during the end of April I think I will swing into Nebraska before ...

Morning everyone . . .

We need to sit down and do our advanced directive thing and then set up a will of some sort, is that what they call a living well?

Yes I saw on book of face that Ms T is selling her Street Glide.

But she says she will be at this years Cloud Riders in Ingram TX. I'm thinking of going if the weather is mostly decent between here and there. Last time I trailered the bike, this time I would love to do one last long ride before I ...

Morning all . . .

27° and we did get some rain yesterday afternoon with some big sloppy snowflakes just before it stopped. Now the predictions of rain/ snow, snow/ rain are gone from the forecast today.

29° and the air is barely stirring. Looks like they are predicting rain/snow or snow / rain mix coming in on Monday?

The mission yesterday went to plan. Now all I have to do is install the batteries in the UPS, and it will be operating once again.

Great, NBF strikes again. :dance:

Looks like little lowers on it also.

Yeah I was riding my '06 RG across somewhere in Kansas from ES, and at one gas stop I had bought some shelled sunflower seeds and put them in my tee shirt pocket to eat while I was riding. Well a couple slipped out of my hand ...

Morning everyone . . . :coffee:

Haircut day in Worland, strange we don't have a barbershop here in town, we did for a bit when I first moved here. First time I tried going to it they never opened that day. I used to go to Mainstreet Barber in Gardnerville NV while I was still going ...

Driving Wind River Canyon yesterday there was a random flake or two hitting the windshield, and at one area you could see that it must have snowed enough to settle in the deer paths on the hillside making random white lines.
