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.

First time I’ve ever seen Hughesnet and fast used in the same sentence
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.

Hank, are you hunting your place this year?
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.

Get one hank. mtmuley
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.

HT couple in nearby unit,she has late bull tag Sat. I pinned a big boy hiding for her if they head this way. Been there 2 days. Under a lone pinion.
2 ft or more in hills above their place now. Roads bad.
I'll check back on that bull manana.

16 here.
Got about 6 inches. More or less.
Snow still drifting in the air.
Dotti got her 1st kill. Bunny.
Played with it all afternoon. Tried to bring it in when I went for wood. Nada.
Rio would have eaten it.
Made Chile Con Carne. NM style. In fridge to rest a night.
Pot of pintos and rice with it tonight.
Called my rancher buddy to see if we could cross his place to look for the bull. He said I could and that was public lease.
When I told him where it was he said I'll meet you.
Bull was dead from my glasses. Lester called a wrangler and half hour later he rode up to it. Dead.
We drove over to meet cowboy dragging it behind a quad back to the ranch.
2 arrows and 2 bullet holes in guts. Fresh bullet holes. Meat shot. Even the BS.
Wrangler said looked like it was shot in the morning and died there in the open. Arrows older.
Half mile from road.
We could have hunted it he said.
Pissed we are. We all hate the poachers.
I guessed 370+,wrangler 380,Lester said 390.
Talked to him this morning.
393 green. 7x7. Huge basket,weak backs.(LOL). Mass. 50" wide and 55" long.
I'm on list for beef burger.
Life is good.
For some.
Lester has plans for the poacher...

7x7 poached. Ugly deal. Glad it was not completely wasted.
Burger meat is fantastic for your chili con carne.
Dotti found her hunter self!
Aside from the poacher, life is good. Your posts always place perspective on the bullseye.
