Throwback Thursday – Big Red
I got a phone call the other night from Ike, the fellow who ended up with my big bore KLR rig. He had some questions about the tail-light wiring. Unfortunately, I couldn't help him; the tail-light was something Larryboy installed before I swapped bikes with him. It...
Dugout Project Update
A long period of neglect followed Robert’s visit last August to help me start the canoe project. Mushrooms sprouted from the ends of the log (Pholiota populnea, pretty, but unfortunately inedible). I feared the log would turn out to be rotten. ...
Leap Year Campout in the Lava Bed
The forecast Friday was for passably fair weather. 50 degree Fahrenheit temps, 3 mph winds, maybe a little rain and lower temperatures with a little snow or hail late Saturday afternoon. It didn't work out that way. Russ...
Up the Creek
Wrayal and I took the dogs on a short detour along a seasonal stream on our way to The Big Lava Bed. https://vimeo.com/395965751
Lunch At The Big Lava Bed
It's been an odd winter; cold weather and heavy dumps of snow have alternated with prolonged warm spells and clear blue skies. At the beginning of January Andy and I were able to ride all the way up to South Prairie, about fourteen miles into the Gifford Pinchot...
Good Morning
4/23/26 6:45 42F (5.5C) A hint of a breeze stirs the leaves beneath a blue sky delicately laced with clouds. Birds are singing, dashing and gliding between the trees. Up on Willow Flat an orchard sprayer drones. Dogs are barking. The sun yawns and...

4/22/26 5:30 51F (10.5C) Light rain, breezy. There is a dark glow illuminating the gloom. A cacophony of birds fills the damp pewter dark of predawn with whistles and trills, chirps and fragments of melody. The jungle awakens. ...
Good Morning
4/21/26 6:30 51F (10.5C) Faint breeze, partly cloudy with rain predicted for later today. The baby chicks are in feathers and growing fast, the rabbits are putting on weight. I got some seeds in the ground yesterday, corn and pumpkin. We have starts...
Good Afternoon
4/21/26 65F Calm, overcast and humid. It sprinkled a little this morning, but not enough to prevent me from mowing. After lunch I returned the keg. Since I was in the neighborhood, I dropped by the range to burn up some black powder. While there, some hungry deer...
Good Morning
4/20/26 7:00 49F (9.4C) Windless, overcast. It is a dull, gray morning. A dove coos monotonously. The birds seem to bicker, their low, trilling chatter discordant and without melody. Even Walter's barking lacks enthusiasm. Good morning? ...
