Not A Bad Weekend
I had Friday off. Robert came up and we worked on the dugout canoe. Rob went home Saturday. Before he did, we rode the Triumph up the hill and hiked down to the Big Rock for a beer. On our way back, we collected some ironwood for future cooking projects. ...
Dugout Canoe Project
I got a notion to try my hand at making a dugout canoe. A neighbor up the road gave me a cottonwood log and even helped me load it. Joel loaned me a trailer and Mike helped me retrieve the log last month. It's been sitting in my driveway ever since. ...
Three Bros in a Tipi
I just got home from a camping trip with my brothers. Don't tell them, but I love those guys. David and Andy are both younger than me. We used to fight all the time but somehow, we grew out of it. The three of us get along well now. In fact, I don’t know anyone...

Good Morning
3/2/26 5:00 34F (1C) Clear and calm. The moon, waxing to full, round and bright against the dark sky, hangs above the west ridge between Willow Flat and Middle Mountain. Early tomorrow morning there will be a lunar eclipse. As the nieghbors begin to...
Good Morning
3/1/26 6:30 35F (1.6C) Calm with broken overcast. The sky is incompletely hidden behind ragged white tufts. The clouds look like stuffing pulled from a dog's toy. Dawn was beginning to lighten the sky. I rolled over to check the clock just as the...
