  • December 5, 2025 Good morning all. A beautiful 32 degrees at daylight! When the sun gets up, she will add six more degrees to the ‘ol thermometer for today’s high. Yesterday was kind of a rough day around here. Coffee, our Border collie, ate something she shouldn’t have and is going crazy at both ends.…

  • December 4, 2025 I don’t know about you, but it sure enough feels like full blown winter to me. Eight degrees at 4:30 this morning, the ‘ol furnace can’t seem to take a breath, he’s constantly running. The other day, I and some other fellers sorted and penned a little over a hundred head of…

  • December 3, 2025 The weather man says it is 28 degrees right now, the high will be around 29 with a stiff north/west wind. That puts the wind chill around 17 degrees for a high, much fun! Yesterday, I spent my day working a bull sale for a neighbor. The bulls looked really nice, the…

  • December 2, 2025 Will you look at that, it’s 23 degrees at 4:30 a.m.! With that as a starting point, we just might reach the predicted 41 for a high. The ‘ol bones will enjoy some warm. Yesterday morning, my dear friend Jowell was able to harvest a cow elk. What a blessing! We then…

  • December 1, 2025 Good morning! It’s 1 degree at 3:30 a.m., headed for 34 with a fresh coat of snow. It looks like December is ready to snort in a feller’s flank! I have a little sister who is five years younger than I am. Sis was sure enough a cute little varmint when she…

  • November 30, 2025 Yesterday’s storm blew its way through our area before noon. Skys cleared and the temperature dropped to a -5 last night. Looking at a high of 19 today with a little more snow today. But tomorrow is forecasted to reach 33! Tomorrow could be a great day if we get to see…

  • November 29, 2025 Wow, what a beautiful day! The wind in steady at 20mph, gusting at 46mph, the temp is 8 degrees and feels like negative 19. With an inch of snow, mostly in drifts, we need to attempt to find a bugle cow today. Some people just get to have all of the fun.…

  • November 28, 2025 The weather man is talking about being in the 40’s today, we’ll take it. Well, if you hosted Thanksgiving dinner yesterday, today you start dealing with leftovers. That can range from a sandwich or two, to trying to figure out what to do with a refrigerator stuffed to the top with leftovers.…

  • November 27, 2025 Good morning all! We are at 21, headed for 40 today. The gentle breeze shouldn’t blow anyone off the road today. I suppose the roads will be busy today with travelers, so stay safe out there please. Miss Deb and I are at home today. We bought a small turkey breast to…

  • November 26, 2025 Well, that beautiful fall has come to an end. It’s 11 degrees at 4:30 this morning. Breezy, snow flurries, and 37 for a high today. I sure wish I had a wood stove! I’m just a little excited this morning, my “adopted” little brother should be here tomorrow about one o’clock in…
