10 days 4778 miles 8 states 2 national parks Countless national forests Crossed the continental divide, 45th parallel, snake river, Columbia river, Missouri River, Mississippi River And most importantly knocked off my last two states west of the Mississippi. Southern Wisconsin to Billings MT, Billings to Spokane, Spokane to Ashford Wa (mount Rainer). Spokane to Cannon Beach Or. cannon beach to Oxford OR. Oxford to Sheridan WY, Sheridan to home I went thru Yellowstone Friday, I’ve never wanted to go to Yellowstone too many people, but it’s the off season so I thought I’d drive threw. We got stuck in an Yellowstone traffic jam aka a herd of bison. The amount of people who were pissed off by being inconvenienced was bothersome. A guy came up next to me in a Tahoe in the wrong lane and long story short he was very close to being pistol whipped, but he chose smartly told by his wife to stay in the truck. Cliff notes other than that I love the west, even the PNW. Don’t believe the news people are over this mask bullshit, I wore mine when it was mandated, just because. but many many others were fast and loose with it. I saw “let’s go Brandon” tagged stickered and so on in a lot of surprising places. my favorite man made type thing was “Main Street” down town western towns, they’re thriving, they’re historic and they’re beautiful and unchanged by big box stores. If you’re ever in Sheridan WY go down town and go to bison union coffee company! I stopped for gas in picabo ID and went inside to pee, it was a cool little stop they had a stickers so I grabbed two and looked around there was also a place to order sandwiches and a fly shop. I looked over all the little flies and then went to pay for my stickers. There was a lady whom I thought was the cashier but I quickly realized she was working the post office! This must have been the original post office and general store, all the P.O. Boxes looked 100 plus years old! View my photos at: https://nshep79.smugmug.com/PNW

born in the USA was my first musical tape of my own, I got it when I was 3 or 4 and played the FUCK outta it. I’ve always loved this song and this cover is great!!!

Or that’s where it just broke happy birthday brother

All by hand I like doing it that way lol

She paid me

Smoked 38# of pork shoulder today, my friends wife is throwing him a surprise party. she happen to catch me at the right time when she asked and recipes to make for it. She kinda goated me into making her some pork lol. I told her to ask her neighbor but he’s busy and I just happen to be making a ten pounder for my self if I could find 3 more 8-10#er’s I would do them for her. I barely had enough room but I knew they’d shirking and it all turned out great. started it at 10:45 pm last night and it took almost exactly 15 hours

I have a bore sight next to my chair to get them moving also a kids fishing pole with a mouse toy tide to it lol

They were fucked long before that, nascar is crap, 300 crashes in the last 50 Laps is stupid, not racing in the rain it’s weak and all left turns is poor skill. The same can be said for the nfl they’re both dying sports weather it’s woke culture or shitty rules.

I read this on Facebook last night, it was the first time reading it. It probably took me 5 min longer to read than it should have due to fighting and wiping the tears from my face

My buddy had some friends coming into town from the weekend. He opened up his pontoon to get it ready to take them out on the lake two weekends ago and coons got in it and tore all the seats apart 😳😳🤫

I think the kids call them shit posters now days

I can give you more

I spoke to soon 😏😏😏😏

So with the recent not invasion, the mysterious and magical yeti made some updates. havent got a chance to look around, but it looks like the photo issue has been fixed

I’m on call, worked most the after noon, Hopefully this is t a sign of what 40 has brought me

To bad you live in that cliff, you have the biggest inland water tank of all

My buddies have similar for when we burn the CRP on the farm, one is on the 3point and runs off the PTO. The other is a big round 500 gallon tank they run a gas generator and pumps off. hell I ran edge control with my quad and a 100 gal weed sprayer with an electric pump and that knocked down fire a lot better than I thought

Brisket tacos tonight (thawed out some) pickled red onions and made avocado cremá last night. Some cherry tomatoes from my buddies garden and some micro greens

I’ve always heard that too but thought it was a wives tail, but with as dry as it’s been I believe it

I forgot to mention, I got these peppers from my go to pepper guy at the market (garden was an epic fail this year). As I started seeding these peppers my eyes and nose were watering a touch. Didn’t put a lot of thought into it until about 45 sec after I finished the second one my tongue was on fire, brow was sweating and nose was snotting. I’ve never in my life had a jalapeño as hot as these 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 rene that sucks, mine came quick this winter, the supply chain is so fuckedup!!

Last night Texas Twinkies basically jalapeño poppers with brisket in the cream cheese

I mowed my lawn more in the past week than in the past two months. Duck season is gonna suck this year

I saw that fly at EAA a few years back

I’ve followed these guys in social media for a few years and they all amaze me, these pilots have balls the size of church bells! Spotter plane comes in ahead pops smoke and the tanker (a DC FUCKING 10) can drop water or retardant for up to a mile

Damn those look good!!
