And a few more.....

PNWY.....I was actually reluctant to go with the John Deere lawn tractor because there are tons of bad reviews online. Mine has worked perfectly..... Ace.....the door on the left was salvaged after my BigFoot truck camper caught fire.....it was actually an XP member that suggested that I save...

halseyt.....here's one more valuable tip for you. I sure wish that someone had mentioned this to me. You'll be required to wear compression socks after your surgery, and these things need to be fitted individually. They are not one size fits all. I had 2 young, guy nurses that stuck mine on me...

PNWY.....I think that may be the plant. Earlier in tbe summer, Trapper had several of them lodged between her toes. I was able to remove them, yet 2 weeks later, the swelling persisted. I squezzed that area, and this sword like thing came out.....it was 100 % embedded in her skin. No wonder she...

ITTOG.....I'm curious, what were your surgeries like ? I'd like to know more. Did you use a walker ? Why cruthches as opposed to a cane / walking stick ? The narcotics that they gave me made me deathly ill. I puked my guys out. I stopped them Day One. The worse thing now is the compression socks...

PNWY & Arjan.....thanks guys.....dogs, dogs, dogs.....we love them..... ITTOG.....don't be sorry for me.....I'm lucky to be alive. My other hip is just fine & thank goodness for that, as I'm ready to move on. My surgery was "textbook" per the PA. It only took them 45 minutes to replace the hip...

ITTOG.....thanks.....I'm so fortunate to have this place.....the timing couldn't have been better. I never could have survived 2023 living in a truck camper..... tgil.....Scout is an incredibly beautiful Golden.....just unreal.....lucky you. So do me (us) a favor and post a trip report here...

I've been thinking lately about getting in that canal to cool off with my best friends.....absolutely I would do it if I still lived in the truck camper.....somehow life is different when you live in a house..... So for now I'll be content with the various trees along the canal that provide...

I doubt a walk goes by without spotting at least a single hawk.....or maybe two..... They seem to spend hours perched in those high places..... .....waiting to make a kill..... The thin woodlands that hide the canal within are filled with songbirds and nests can be found...

halseyt.....the dogs are pretty much loving life right now and you will see why in today's posts (I think)..... Ace.....thanks.....it feels so good to be out and about.....thinking alot these days about camping & exploring the mountain summits and in the forests as well.....wishing you a...

A few days ago we snagged a permit to gather more stone & we headed up into the National Forest for a day of hiking and stone gathering.....it was magical. And I wondered how that could be..... I guess I'm still in that phase just wondering why I was so unlucky, yet still, so lucky to be...

halseyt.....can't go wrong posting dog pictures.....thanks..... ITTOG.....I'm with you on the ducks and chickens but the birds that hang out at my place are simply amazing. I never before saw myself as a bird guy but being forced to slow down has changed that now.....I really love anything...

Ace..,...the adoption coordinator & transporter both told me that Bridger had peed in the house and that was the reason that the owners surrendered her. I try not to judge, so.....just happy that we crossed paths with her. It's amazing how quickly she has bonded with us.....she literally follows...

A quick update on Bridger..... She's doing great.....she's a wonderful dog..... Yesterday she had her first vet appointment and mostly things went as expected.....the vet put her on a medication to try to ease her pain from the arthritis..... It's amazing how quickly she fit into the...

Bridger.....that's what we named her.....the newest addition to our pack..... I first saw her on Petfinder several weeks ago and she immediately captured my heart.....truly was love at first sight..... Her owners of eight and one half years had dropped her off at the shelter in March after...

Our second detour of the day was into bear country..... Years ago I came here to climb a mountain with my oldest son.....after two Grizzly encounters along the trail, we decided to bag that climb.....what a day that was..... The drive into bear country was outstanding..... Eventually...

Regarding recovery time.....it all depends. I was a total knucklehead after my surgery and elected not to go cardio rehab. And I paid a price for that. At four weeks after surgery, I basically had regressed. Now I'm listening, going to rehab. & I'm finally feeling better. I'm not sure when...

I sure do miss the open roads.....the mountain summits.....and everything in between.....

The 168 Quaking Aspen that I've transplanted over the past several years are doing remarkably well, and land that was once horse pasture, is now becoming a small forest.....this spring I was able (just barely.....think heart surgery) to plant 200 Norway Spruce seedlings (16 to 24 inches in...

Took a slow walk around the property this morning.....and this is what I saw.....The Last Best Place.....Montana.....
