So sorry Murphysranch. Looks like at the very least, you are as prepared as you can be. Don't forget lots of water for pets and yourself, and any important meds.
Well, okaaaaaaay, but its seedcorns fault I'm hijacking the truck thread...
Exterior, 21' double doors
This is the state its in now - aluminum skin off, all rotten wood framing removed and replaced, all old electrical removed (it had previously caught the trailer on FIRE eek) and mostly...
I have begun to think the same of our 1955 Aljoa travel trailer restoration. And there is a particular part that I need that I CANNOT find, I have also begun to think I need a "parts trailer." I mean, we already have 2, what's one more? (I'm pretty sure that's how I ended up with 4 dogs at one...
We recently had foreign guests rent our little spot, and while chatting with them they asked if it was okay to drink the tap water. The first thing I thought was "what a strange question!" Then I paused and realized it was a perfectly plausible question for them. It totally reminded me how lucky...
Nice to see you, SweetMissDaisy! It felt like a hectic busy summer for me as well, and I didn't even have a garden! Lots of self-inflicted projects going on though, plus like you say the full time real job. I'm about to get a break though, in a week my Mom and I are meeting in California and...
Raining here too, pouring down actually. I'm trying not to be grumpy about the rain, saved our butts from fires incinerating the whole of western Montana, BUT i had a lot of things to do outside today! Guess its change of plans!
Haha, @Nyboy I'm the same way about "discussions" while I'm in the bathroom. You will NOT get an answer if you're talking to me from outside the closed bathroom door. Actually, I have a pretty firm rule that we be in the same room when speaking. Our place is small but I hate yelling from room...
We had tiny isolated showers yesterday & last night, then slightly longer showers today. This is the first day in over a week we've been able to see the surrounding mountains. At times the smoke was so thick here it was 1/4 mile visibility and driving around with headlights on in the daytime...
The bedroom door in my house (just my husband and I, upstairs) is necessary so we can lock the dang dog out when we're gone so she's not sleeping on the bed. Cause I'm mean like that ;)
hah, we share our home with strangers (lock out mother-in-law suite we rent on Airbnb) but I would HATE having to share it with family members, except on a really short term basis. As far as my husband, I really enjoy the days I have off when he's working ;) but we also enjoy our 2.5 days off...
Got out camping for a few nights despite the massive amount of smoke. Overnight we had a touch of rain and the sky was beautiful in the morning, just a hint of smoke.
Ok this wasn't true sunrise, but it was about 9 am, when the sun first appeared.
Cool, I like it! Overall really nice job with good pics. I know nothing about sheep, but I do have a comment about the phrasing on your home page. 2nd paragraph down, I'm not sure how to describe it but I would change the voice. Like, don't tell people why YOU got into babydoll sheep, describe...
We got rain last night, AND a dusting of snow on the peaks in Glacier. Soooooo much better here today, washed out all our smoke and put a bit of a damper on the fires. Hwy 2 on the south side of Glacier Natl park was closed due to fire activity for a few days, and has reopened. With that highway...
Ugh, I feel for the firefighters too! Can't imagine tramping around with lots of clothes and gear in a really hot environment all day, then heading back to camp in a tent, usually no showers. Just UGH.
Here in Montana, I often notice that they'll set up an evacuation place (like Thistle said, school or church) but that no one will really utilize it, or not many people. It just seems that most people have options of friends or family (or strangers) houses, which are more comfortable than a gym...
I just got some really nice garlic last week at our farmers market...wish I could remember what kind!! And some of my abused cloves I threw in the new bed last fall did grow too! Not all but some.
