One of my son's favorite activities in the Yellowstone area

His favorite activity was riding 4-wheelers which he called vroom. He would come in saying "vroom" and me or grandpa would take him for a ride. I somehow managed to not get a picture of Trey on the 4-wheelers. At the bear and wolf center, he enjoyed the animals but they took second place to this... Sign in to see full entry.

Say hello to Muskrat Suzie and Muskrat Sam and their friends

Here are some pictures from Big Springs. The water is absolutely crystal clear and several freeloaders show up to get their piece of the action as people try to feed the fish. There were three muskrats swimming around getting their share of the food tossed off the bridge. Here are two of them. For... Sign in to see full entry.

A cute picture from our vacation

We went to my wife's parents place for our vacation. It's a wonderful place near Yellowstone that I enjoy going to because it's so peaceful. I always take a book along because it's the kind of place that just begs you to read and write. There is a place up there called Big Springs which is, ummm,... Sign in to see full entry.

We went to see some wolves and bears on our vacation (pictures)

We didn't see anything in Yellowstone except a few elk. It's too hot and we went in the middle of the day. We have found that the best time to see the buffalo is when the park first opens in May. For elk, we like to go in September when they can be heard bugling and you can watch the young bucks... Sign in to see full entry.

Pictures from our vacation

I went to bed early last night and found myself wide awake at 6:30 this morning. That's not like me. I usually don't go to bed early and I definitely don't get up early. I'm using the extra time today to try and catch up on some of my neglected blogs. We spent last week up near Yellowstone Park. We... Sign in to see full entry.

We came home to find an intruder in our house

My old chief said that there was a fine line between precaution and paranoia. He thought that I crossed the line at times and even though I am no longer a cop, old habits die hard. So it was last night when we came home. I scanned the front of my house as we pulled in the driveway. Everything looked... Sign in to see full entry.

I actually have a credit card story for you - Rizzo's interest

I had forgotten that I have a credit card that has yearly membership fee. As of today, it would be more appropriate to say that I had a credit card with a yearly fee. Allow me to insert a story here about credit cards. My brother and his family were out visiting a week ago and I went to lunch with... Sign in to see full entry.

Persistance pays off - I have decided to give a V1-a GGra a try

I think that any company that tries so damn hard to get through my email filter is worth trying. They must be rewarded for their persistance and imaginative thinking. For them to complete ignore the hatred of spam and the constant endeavor to stop their email from ever arriving is a sign of how... Sign in to see full entry.

This email made it past my filter today and I thought I would share the first paragraph with you. Many of you have probably received the same email. All of you have recieved some version of this email and some time. "Dear SuccessWarrior, It is my great pleasure to contact a reliable and God fearing... Sign in to see full entry.

How to make a Summertime Smoothy - a new recipe

List of ingredients: Cheesy garlic bread, pepperoni pizza, Oreo cookie ice cream, and grape snow cone. Take all of the above ingredients and combine them in one 2-year old boy. Agitate said boy on your knee in 100 degree weather at a ballpark while yelling "Charge" after each dun-du-dun-de-duh.... Sign in to see full entry.
