19 Thursday morning. Windy this week.

Went down to Reverse and voted Friday.
Almost threw up on my ballot. Yuck.
Left alot blank.
Voted for library bonds in mom's honor and for Vet's bennies for those who served.

Dotti had emptied a closet and it was on her bed in the living room when I got home. An elk and buck hide included. Towels,shirts,etc.
She had fun. Did not wreck anything.

Today I went and got pain pills and hit hardware store to replace tools that walked and some screws.
Got a big steak to make Chile Colorado tomorrow. Dotti food.
Dotti and I had apple and string cheese and then she has been frisky all afternoon.

Laying beside the fire now. Checking to see when supper is now and then.
Snow in forecast for the week. Light, cold.
Good chile weather.

The newer systems have better numbers and wifi.
Beats a system that doesn't work and is a pain to get ahold of any help.

Guy's co. can't find a house he delivered to before.
And he'll get to mars, for what?
Lots of vehicles that can't drive the US roads. What a un-worthwhile venture. But it gets the big bucks....LOL.

28,snowing.
6-12" below 8500' they say.
Wood stacked on porch.
Water jugs filled.

Power went out for 6 hrs the other day with 4".............LOL
Got parts for generator,waiting.
Oh well.
Have the old gas one and gas & starting fluid.

Prior Preparation Prevents Poor Performance.

Better grind some beans...make some Chile Colorado.

Dotti snoozing on the couch. Been after the chipmunks.

Good Luck to the hunters heading out.

Buddy from WI is coming next month for cow. The 1 tag is all I got this year.
I'll have fresh elk hopefully.

New neighbors and alot of work in neighborhood has shifted their patterns. Stock trailer o'dark thirty...outfitter camps around.
They have been crossing at my gate lately.

Dotti spotted her 1st the other day. Young cow.
Hairs up and standing her ground. From the porch. LOL
Chicken.

A couple inches already.
Into Fri. ,red winter warnings up.
North Mtns and CO looks to get hammered.
40 will be a mess into TX. 25 too.

With elk, it doesn't take much to upset the apple cart. I went through similar situations last year and they never came down.

They are coming, but at night.
Gotta catch them leaving, dawn patrol.

Have options with the UW tag to post up on public, if they are leaving early still. Depending on wind direction that day.
Today would have been perfect.
6 inches of soft powder,dead calm. In the eye it looks like on TV.
18 degrees out.

Hunting weather.
