  • Refocus!

    March 1, 2026 30 degrees at 4 a.m., moving up to 54 before the day is over. It doesn’t look like very much sunshine today though. Thursday found Miss Deb and I in Casper, back to Lusk to meet with my young men’s group. Friday and Saturday we were in Rapid City. Hopefully we will…

  • “Nice hat!”

    February 27, 2026 Another beautiful windy day in Wyoming. A strong WNW wind will wear on people and critters alike on this beautiful 61 degree day. Maybe a person should wear a cap instead of the Stetson today? Growing up in ranch country, I soon realized that a western hat was the head covering of…

  • The sword of God!

    February 25, 2026 With only three days left in February, it looks as if all but the last one could be a tad tough. Strong winds today and tomorrow, with some snow today that will definitely come sideways. The temperature will be decent each day but will feel much cooler because of the wind. However,…

  • First step.

    February 24, 2026 Good morning friend! It’s a chinook! Webster defines chinook as, “a warm wind that descends the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains.” When I put ‘ol Coffee out the door at 4 a.m., most of the snow is gone and it is 45 degrees! True, the wind is matching that temp, and…

  • “And lo, I am with you always.”

    February 23, 2026 Good morning! I put Coffee out the door at 5 a.m. and noticed the air didn’t bite me anything like it had the last couple of days. As I looked at today’s weather, I noticed that it is 17 above right now, headed for 36 with 15-30 mph winds. A while back…

  • Give it away!

    February 22, 2026 Good morning. The thermometer rest at 0 at 3:30 a.m. 37degrees and cloudy with a tad bit of breeze today. But hang on to your hat, temps for this next week are in the high range and so is the wind! The prediction is for 30+ wind speed most days, and 60+…

  • Live it!

    February 21, 2026 Yesterday started below zero, today we are already at 5 above zero, headed for 31 with plenty of sunshine to melt some snow. As I sit here typing early in the morning, the world is under the canopy of darkness outside. Yet with great anticipation, I look forward to the sunrise that…

  • “A Pendulum swings like a pendulum do…”

    February 20, 2026 Boo! It’s -6 degrees outside at 3 a.m. Today’s high is to be 28, with partial sun. Tomorrow is above freezing with full sun, good-by snow. Last night I did a zoom meeting with seven of the young men I meet with each Thursday, one guy needed to attend a family gathering,…

  • “It’s crazy out there!”

    February 19, 2026 Well it’s winter out there. At 4 a.m. the temp is 6 degrees, climbing clear up to 12 for a high. The snow will continue most of the morning. With close to six inches on the ground right now, this will be our biggest snow fall so far this winter. It looks…

  • The necessity of application!

    February 18, 2026 20 degrees at 4 a.m., headed for 45. Praise the Lord, the wind has subsided some, only 31 mph gusts today. Yesterday was a bit tough with 70+ mph winds all day and most of the night. It looks a bunch like winter tomorrow with 12 for a high, -6 for a…
