43 degrees this morning and the bacon is sizzling at Raynolds Pass, MT.

I always wanted an outdoor job, looking at the forecast I'm questioning that decision. It was 104 here yesterday and I was sweating profusely while working on a combine. If I'm never seen on HT again, it means a combine breaks this coming Tuesday and I melted.

I thought of you (and this week’s forecast) as I drove through southcentral Washington last week.

BTW - I think farmers should be required to put up big signs that identify each crop. There were several that stumped me. One turned out to be carrots grown for seed.

New trail has opened thanks to efforts by RMEF. Falls Creek Falls is worth the short hike.

Drove past a barn the other day that someone had painted a Redman logo on. View attachment 186766

Growing up in southeastern OH, there were lots of barns with an entire side painted in Mail Pouch logo. My neighbor was one of the last people painting them, and he estimated that he’d done at least a thousand of them. Thx for bringing back the memory @geetar!

I don’t chew myself but I love those old painted advertisements. This is just east of Charlotte in Midland, NC area.

Didn’t know if it was worthy of its own marmot thread.

This is awesome! Your lady has her a real man. Coming home with a dead marmot and a bouquet of flowers.

First time we ever caught a black seabass was yesterday. We revived and released it, of course

Red Winged Black Birds

I’ve posted other photos of these bears, but they were fun to watch. I wish I had a better camera, I didn’t feel like getting any closer than I already was.

Just finished scouting my elk unit in NW CO. Surprisingly, everything was pretty green.

I ain’t normally a birder but I admit I like the sound hundreds of red winged blackbirds make. Reminds me of fishing with my Dad at lake casitas in the 1960s and 70s. It’s a mesmerizing sound.

My neighborhood a week ago.

When the crops come up and everything’s alive it’s tolerable.

Red wing blackbirds are a sweet corn growers worst nightmare.
flocks of them go from field to field each one perching on a ear of corn and with their claws tear open the end peck out a couple kernels and move to the next one. Once tore open ants take over and you end up with a none salable ear. A lot of people use noise cannons. I always like to see them in the spring means winter is about over but other than that they SUCK !!!!
