After a visit with Daniel and Jaxon who were putting the discbine to bed for the winter… I had to put in my steps for the day, so off I went with my companions. One or more cats always accompany my traveling troop… She looks rather majestic, doesn’t she? **** Choctaw Trail of Tears Journey/199,658…
Throwback Thursday: Sky for Shingles, v.2.0
This was first published November 13, 2015. I tried to finish up my studio movie, surrendering my artistic attempt at including side by side pictures of before/durings/and afters. You get just a simple movie… as soon as it decides to load… which looks like early morning. Gah! So, let’s return to the past few days……
Wordless Wednesday: Light

Veteran’s Day Show
It’s Veteran’s Day but it’s also my sister’s birthday. I baked her a chocolate/coffee cake and we went down to eat supper and visit with my nephew who is here visiting. We were busy watching for deer and trying to figure out how the Jeep knows to dim or brighten the headlights on dirt roads……
Resume
Work on the pipelines continue. I was working the day they set the Man Cave over the “Christmas tree”, where all the pipes hook onto the well. Maybe that was good because it sounded nerve-wracking! They continued laying pipe down across the creek and again, I was at work. Then, I was around when Vernon…
Hero
Happy 13th birthday to Jaxon! I believe he liked his general Legos that may help him create more stop motion movies. There was the Ten Sleep football photo frame… Then… did you know you can order custom Lego figures? I put him in Pioneer blue with #20 on his “uniform”. An impish grin on his…
Inexpensive and Easy
I made a small update to the window in my bathroom. I preface this by announcing that I hate the windows in this house. They’re from 1952. Single pane. They slide down often. They don’t lock together. When I first came, they rattled in their panes until I caulked them. They’re horrible to clean from…
Trail of Tears Walk
I don’t know if you’ve seen them, “virtual walks”, where usually for a fee, you could “hike Yellowstone”, getting a “digital postcard” when you reach Old Faithful or the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. At the end, you’d get a medal. They have them for all over the world. All you do is add your…
Throwback Thursday: To the Rescue, v.2.0
By far, one of the most unique experiences I’ve ever had! This was first posted November 4, 2015. One of the best things about living out here is how different each day can be! Today started with a dog walk, typical, at least once again since hunting season is over. Today I chose to walk…
Wordless Wednesday: Gorgeous Country
For a jigsaw puzzle of our gorgeous country… go HERE.
Other Joints
From the well, various pipelines will feed assorted stock tanks. Vernon has been busy digging trenches. We showed up to lay some heavy pipe. I don’t do much, fetching, picking up, and timing. Vernon and Brandon put in a T in an existing strand of pipe and we started to add another piece. Daniel brings…
Redneck
Say you’re a redneck, without saying you’re a redneck. To prevent dirt from getting in the pipes leading away from the well, the guys have taped on old cans which may or may not have included a certain Banquet Beer. To be fair, there were Mountain Dew and lemonade cans as well…
