The Hogsty

Morning. Heavy rain last night beat the petals off a lot of the poppies but it was good for everything else. Prairies aren't nearly as green as we'd hope for this time of year; grass is aready heading out. This morning is overcast, 52 degrees with a high of 7 expected.

I'm glad to be home and ...

Evening. Left Natrona County around 8 a.m. yesterday, arrived in Missoula around 6:00 p.m. Left Missoula about 8 this morning and got home around 6. I am tired, I have a headache, and after making a side trip to Bozeman, I have concluded that someone took a scoop out of the most trendy, pretentious ...

Thanks, Mike, both for reading it and for recommending it. My agent says sales are "right where you want them to be." I hope he's right.

Currently a pleasant 60, but going up to the 80s later. Missoula and Billings are both supposed to be around 90. We're going to burn up this year.

Off to ...

Morning. Sunny, 65 degrees, high of 78 predicted, and still air.

Revised manuscript is winging its way through the cyberverse to the publisher. Addendum will follow early next week. All I got to say is, YAY. This is gardening weather, not writing weather.

Afternoon.

Made it through the day, blood draw to dentist visit. Too little sleep two nights running, so it was a bit of a challenge. Day started out chilly with fog, but is pretty right now.

I approve of pale tints of violet. That's been my fallback color for years.

The site's one year anniversary slipped by without me noticing it.

Happy anniversary, y'all, with thanks to the guy who makes it possible.

Morning. Woke up to a very nice rain. Currently 56 degrees and not supposed to get much warmer

Dental issues have improved, thank you, though after the last two weeks, I'm almost afraid to admit it. Had a very production evening writing, the kind of productive where one glances at the clock and ...

Morning. Kinda cloudy and kinda not. 48 degrees, air not overly enthusuastic (yet), high of 72 predicted.

My brother lives roughly a mile from the border in a very nice neighborhood. When I visited 17 years ago, he casually pointed out the local druglord's house. We lived in Brownsville when I was ...

Morning. Overcast, but maybe clearing to the east. 48 degrees with a predicted high of 71. Air is stirring gently. I bought herbs and carnations for the garden, so hope to get to plant today.

<r>Morning. As of today, I have been in Wyoming 47 years. 
 
49 degrees and cloudy, small chance of rain. Thunderstorms last night dropped over half an inch. 
 
You're a good guy, Tom. 
 
My great step forward is a day and a half without pain meds, though I keep the heating ...

Morning. 53 and cloudy with some small chance of rain. High of 62 predicted.

Root canal. Ugh. Happy to hear that might be an end to the process for a while.

I'm glad you're enjoying the book. Thanks for telling me.

Morning. Sunny, 51 degrees, still, going for a high of 72. Hard to get nicer than that.

That was a hard removal, Tom! That's what's so frustrating about mine: it was simple as could be. Doc told me he suspected my other molars are shifting since they aren't blocked in by the one that is gone. That ...

Morning. Sunny, still, 42 degrees, going for a perfect high of 71. I'm going for a dog walk aong the river at 9:30 and the dentist at 1. I am hoping he is not going to tell me this pain is something I'm "just going to have to live with." It is affecting everything I do and I am very tired of it.

Morning. 44, mostly sunny, going for a high of 62.

Ten days out from tooth extraction and that whole side of my mouth still hurts significantly. I'm very much hoping it stops soon because without madication, it is bad enough to distract me from whatever I'm doing. Dentist appointment tomorrow and I ...

Morning. Sunny, 48, 15 mph wind, predicted high of 62 and thunderstorms this afternoon.

Morning. According to the household rain gauge watcher, we've had .40 inches of rain so far this morning. We can use some more. This has been a drier spring than we like to see. 38 degrees with a high of 48 predicted.

Morning. 52 degrees with a mix of clouds and clear skies. Wind is becoming increasingly enthusiastic. After behaving itself for several weeks, my laptop has decided to once again intermitably ignore a dozen or so keys. Using a combination of keyboard and onine keyboard isn't efficient, which means I ...

Amen, brother.

Morning. 57 degrees and sunny. High of 68 predicted.

This is day five and my jaw still hurts. I've used more painpills in a week than I normally use in six months, even with arthritis, and I am TIRED ...

Sure seems like it this week.

Morning. Sun shining through clouds. 50 degrees going for a high of 63. I'm off to the dentist in about half a hour. All was fine until the extraction site woke me up with a wallop of pain about 3:00 this morning. I'd rather not do this all weekend if I don't have to.

Morning. 47 degrees and a good stiff wind at 27 mph. Got a feeling I'd better break out some cold weather gear for the dog walk later this morning.

Good luck with the pipe, Tom. Our house is iron age, too. Had a pipe crack years ago, but it was uncovered in the basement ceiling. Made it kinda like ...

Well, after getting a tooth pried out of one's head, there's nothing like having pals who understand it on a personal level. Roy had an implant for a molar about a year ago. He has been happy with it. I can't really whine much. A few decades ago, I worked as an opertory assistant for oral surgeons ...

Morning. 49 degrees and cloudy, going for a high of 78. Temperatures are supposed to drop back into the 60s tomorrow with rain on the weekend.

No walk for me this morning. Gotta have my remaining wisdom tooth extracted. Too bad. I'm dumb enough already.

Good morning. Plenty of air movement today at 20 mph and increasing. Already 71 degrees headed for a high of 85. Today is work on book revisions and fertilize the roses day. Tom, I was in Thermop yesterday to pick up my grandson, so I waved in what I assume to be your general direction. Did you feel ...

Morning. My son just called and announced "it's mother's day or some kind of thing, so I'm doing my due diligence. Happy mother's day."

How's the dog puppy doing?

Morning. Sunny, 57 degrees, going for a high of 82.The air is not moving.

Mike, I'm sorry to hear about your friend. That is such a hard thing. Roy is down in Colorado this weekend visiting a friend whose time on earth is similarly limited.

And people wonder about the advantages of not living in Texas...

Where my daughter lives, there are NO venomous snakes. None. Roy grew up in a place with no venomous snakes. Can you imagine?

Hello to Cloudriders. We enjoyed our time with y'all in Texas too many years ago now.

Morning. Sunny, 39 degrees, headed for a high of 74. Air is moving, but gently.

Morning. Still overcast but supposed to clear up. 50 degrees right now, supposed to be in the mid-70s by tomorrow.

Morning. 33 degrees and I can't tell if I'm seeing fine rain or very fine snow. I'm not inclined to go out and see. Snowed last night, but the ground was warm enough that only a skiff is left on the grass. Road is a godawful muddy mess. I suspect this will put an end to the tree blooms, but they ...

Morning, y'all. 47 degrees and no indication of rain, though we've been handed a 90% chance with rain changing to snow this evening. This is Kill All the Tree Blossoms time of year. I suppose it is Earl the Wyoming Weather God's version of Russian Roulette with Mother Earth's spring.

Morning. Sunny, 64 degrees. Beautiful spring day, and I'm headed out to prune winter kill off roses and pull a few weeds. It's good to be home after being gone so long.

Morning. Got home yesterday evening. I don't spring back from two-day drives quite like I used to. Woke up feeling like I need a nap.

Today is supposed to be 76 degrees, sunny, no wind, and my spring garden is in full bloom. Unfortunately, I have to spend four hours inside at a book event this ...

So you're in a pickle?

Got home about an hour ago. Bulbs are in full bloom, Roy cleaned the house and installed a new dishwasher before he left for Colorado this morning. He'll be home Tuesday. We haven't been apart this long in decades, if ever.

Happy May Day. Sunny and 43, going for a high of 77. Leaving for home in about an hour. Between book tour and granddaughter visit, I've only been home two or three days since March 24. I wonder if anyone will remember me.

Ugh. These philosophical questions before noon...

Last day in PNW. Partly cloudy, high of 66 degrees. Naturally, tomorrow will be 79 degrees and clear. Sigh.

Raining here, too, and 51 degrees. Postponed driving home until Thursday since my daughter is working from home on Wednesday.

Morning. Overcast and rain predicted tonight. 48 degrees going for a high of 58. So far it looks like the weather will be cooperative on my way home on Wednesday and Thursday. Was hoping for another good beach day, but we'll see.

Good morning. Cloudy. 49 degrees, with a high in the 60s. Looks like the really nice weather won't be back until the day I leave, but it has been pretty perfect the whole three weeks. Going into Tacoma today to meet my niece for lunch.

Morning. 50 degrees and cloudy. High of 67 predicted, but little chance of rain. I seem to have brought dry weather with me. Hope it lasts on the way home this week.

Morning. 49 degrees on Harstine Island with a high of 78 predicted. Clear skies. Back to the beach today. Five more days of deep spring before heading home to the seasonal struggle to break out of winter.

Afternoon! It's a beautiful day in the PNW. Got home a while ago from our son-in-law's LE academy graduation in Vancouver. He graduated 3rd in the class in tactical and firearms. That in itself is a huge accomplishment, but especially for someone who never handled weaponry before the academy. We are ...

Morning. 50 degrees with a predicted high of 69. We're headed to Vancouver this afternoon for my son-in-law's law enforcement academy graduation tomorrow morning.

Morning. Clear, 35 degrees, high of 62 predicted.

I found a sand dollar, some sea glass, and lots of vocanic rocks, oyster, and clam shells. It's a pretty beach with a view of Mt Rainier on a clear day. Downed trees at the foot of the cliff are water-smoothed and/or covered in barnacles, which is ...

Morning. Partly cloudy and 43 degrees (no, really). I will walk down to the beach later, though I'll miss low tide and might have to groove with the universe from higher up on the ciff. High tide can come right to the base of the cliff.

Have a great trip!

Morning. Cloudy, 44 degrees, high of 58, maybe some rain.
