  • January 15, 2026 Tie down and hang on. It’s 40 degrees at 5 a.m., headed for 51. By this time tomorrow it’s supposed to be 16 degrees, headed for 27 with 74 mph wind gusts! If a feller needs to get something done outside today, he best get after it, the wind gust are only…

  • January 14, 2026 Well, it’s 30 degrees here in Lusk right now, headed for a high of 53, with only 30 mph wind gusts. But for the next three days the wind is supposed to blow. Sounds like more dust and dry. Allow me to work with this pressure idea for one more day, please.…

  • January 13, 2026 It’s 4 a.m. with 34 degrees outside, headed for 54. The weather man is saying, “Very windy, rather cloudy with a little rain.” It sounds like a great day to work on Sunday School lesson and sermon. Yesterday, we talked how Frank responded to pressure in a negative way. All horses, and…

  • January 12, 2026 It was 25 degrees at 3 a.m., with the possibility of reaching 57 for a high today. I know, you can’t believe it, but it is true, the wind is going to blow, but only with 40 mph gusts. More of a breeze than a wind. Today, I would like to introduce…

  • January 11, 2026 Today, please allow me to begin our visit by asking a question: “Do you know the one true God of the Bible?” It would seem that in one way or another we all have at least one god in our life. Too often our god is one we have developed based upon…

  • January 10, 2026 27 degrees at 4 a.m., headed for 43, with same mph. on the wind. Sure glad we get to stick around town today. We plan to go root for the Tigers basketball teams this afternoon, and then hunker down. A while back I talked about digging a new outhouse hole for a…

  • December 9, 2026 Cold, snow and wind – sounds like winter. For some reason, the older I get, the colder cold gets! For the last few years, around this time, Miss Deb and I have hooked onto our camper and headed south to see our kids and grandkids in Florida. It is always good to…

  • December 8, 2026 At 5:30 this morning the temp is 24 degrees, hoping to raise that to 34 this afternoon, with a possible snow flurry. Right now, the wind is quiet, and it’s not supposed to scream today, we’ll take it! Yesterday, Miss Deb taught in Guernsey, I studied for Sunday. This next Sunday I…

  • December 6, 2026 Well it looks like today will be another day of the wind speed and the temperature matching. On such days, I wish the temperature wasn’t going to be so nice. I spent the last two days of December looking for a bugle cow because my license expired the end of the month.…

  • December 5, 2026 4 a.m. and 42 degrees, our weather is broken. This is January, we should be seeing temps with a minus in front of them and the ground covered with several inches of snow. I’m not complaining about the temps though, I sure enough enjoy wearing a vest rather than a parka, but…
