The Hogsty

Afternoon. 55 degrees, 20+mph wind. We usually get a January thaw about this time, but there's nothing to thaw this year.

Tom, my friend, you and I have different ideas of fun. I get seasick just thinking about it.

Morning. 40 degrees. Not much air movement.

I saw Grand Canyon for the first and last time when I was eleven. Oddly enough, I don't remember much about it. What I do remember from that trip was the canyon at Blue Water Lake State Park in New Mexico, maybe because it was the first canyon I'd ever ...

Morning. Around 40 degrees and gentle 20 mph puffs of air.

Happy anniversary, Tom. This is my 48th winter in Wyoming. Those first winter road conditions in Laramie filled me with trepidation. Now they just sorta vaguely irritate me. The nerve of winter...

I suspect AI, but I'm a cynical writer.

Still... do you suppose they sell kits for Toyota Camrys?

Another dry day in the neighborhood. 40 degrees, 35 mph wind. It probably won't turn snowy until I have to drive to Washington in March. Yeah, it's a stupid time to cross Montana and Idaho, but babies don't generally take road conditions into account when they schedule their due dates. tsk. People ...

Morning. Forty degrees and twenty-five mile per hour wind. Sunny.

Thank you, Mike. I feel well this morning and am hoping to make up some literary ground I lost over the last week. Everyone in the family had the same crud at some point except Roy, and I'm hoping it will pass him by. When he gets ...

Morning. Still cold this morning at 34 degrees and 20 mph wind. No sign of melting snow or ice yet. Our prevailing wind is out of the southwest. When the wind swings around to the northeast, we know we're in for a humdinger of a storm.

I feel almost human this morning, but decided to skip the ...

Nothing like an expensive toy you can't play with.

Morning. 25 degrees, air moving a little, a nice layer of snow on the ground- at least enough for Roy to be headed out to move it off the walkways. I'm sitting around in my jammies, thinking about taking a nap though I've only been up for about an hour. I feel much better than yesterday, but I'm not ...

Afternoon. In the upper forties, overcast, and air movement at about 5 mph- not even worth mentioning. I'm just beginning to move around myself after a bad night followed by sleeping all morning. I can handle the fatigue, but I'd sure like to get rid of the headache.

Morning. 34 degrees, 40 mph wind, with gusts of 65+ rattling the eaves. I will not be driving down Outer Drive today.

Poor Brodie. We managed to loosen his collar under the cone and he has learned to maneuver better, but he hates it. Even with it on, he managed to tear the bandage off one hind ...

Morning. 35 degress, 35 mph wind. Nothing like having balance in one's life.

Took the six month old puppy down yesterday to get him neutered, chipped, and dew claws removed. Poor guy is in a cone of shame now, but he's getting used to maneuvering in it. He's the runt of the litter, half Bernese ...

Morning. 50 degrees, 23 mph wind, mostly sunny.

Oddly enough, Roy's madebiscuits and gravy last night for dinner, and I had just put down my breakfast bowl of leftovers for McDuff to finish off. Earlier this morning, I dropped Brodie off at the vet ('tis the seson to be neutered) so McD got the ...

Greetings, earthlings. 40 degrees and 30+mph wind. Clear and sunny. Looks like no chance of snow until after midweek.

Afternoon. Just a skosh under 50 degrees with steady 40 mph wind and higher gusts. Spent the morning at a meeting, came home, took a nap, and am not budging again today without a compelling reason.

Hang on a minute. Gotta go get my barn boots before anything else is added to this thread.

Morning. Looks damp. 45 degrees and not enough wind to mention. I don't even bother to braid my hair for anything under 15 mph.

It's my brother's 67th birthday. He hasn't been doing well (heart) but as far as I know, he's still around and is just ignoring the phone. He's not a big phone fan,

Men are so gross. Funny, but totally gross.

Hope it does well for you.

Happy New Year, gentlemen. Forty degrees here at the foot of the mountain wth winds whipping along at just under 30 mph. My daughter-in-law gave me bulbs for Christmas. First time I've planted bulbs in December.

Being a night person, staying up at least until midnight is what I do almost every ...

Happy New Year's Eve. Thirty degrees, sunny, wind barely worth mentioning at 15 mph.

Barring all unforeseen events, at midnight Roy and I will be standing on the front porch, facing east, watching the new year roll in as I've done almost every year since I was first allowed to stay up until ...

Morning. 25 degrees and maybe 15 mph wind. Air is warming up, though, so probably most of the white stuff will melt today.

We are on a major north-south interstate highway and things are still stupid expensive here, with the exception of gas which is about as reasonable as it has been in years ...

Morning. 25 degrees and around 15 mph wind. WYDOT 511 reports ice on Outer Drive, which is, of course, the only direct route to where I want to go this afternoon. Sigh. In this town, you can't get anywhere without going somewhere else first.

I will not be wearing shorts today or any other day.

Morning. 9 degrees with 20 mph wind and an inch or more of white stuff on the ground. I think I'lll stay inside again today.

Good morning, y'all. 40 degrees, 25 mph wind, and some leftover white stuff. I started hearing strange tapping noises about 10:00 last night. Turned out to be a steady fall of something between popcorn snow and hail. Still on the ground this morning, but melting.

Morning. 40 degrees and 15 mph wind. All over town, people are falling toward the southwest.

Headed out to the ranch in a couple of hours for family Christmas. Firefighter son worked a three-day shift over the regular holiday.

Merry Christmas back atcha. We're having our family celebration today.

Morning. 50 degrees and steady 45 mph wind. Santa must've bucked a heckuva headwind coming into Wyoming last night.

Neil Diamond was the first concert I ever went to back in the seventies. Bom, bom, bom.

Morning. 54 degrees, 30 mph wind, and dry as a bone.

I love the idea of Maine Street.

Afternoon. 54 degrees and 24 mph wind. Another perfect October day.

Mike, I have not forgotten you rising to my defense many years ago and I will cheerfully defend your right to be as mushy as you like.

My grandson turned 16 today. Seems like it was only a few days ago that his father was 16.

Morning. 55 degrees, 40 mph wind with higher gusts. Better batten down the braid when I head out later today.

Happy birthday, Mike.

Happy Midwinter. To quote my husband: Summer's coming. Currently 40 degrees, 20+ mph winds, overcast. Supposed to be near 60 on Christmas Day. Who needs Arizona?

Good morning. 25 degrees and just enough snow last night to make it look romantically winter. Of course,the romance will only last if a) the wind doen't pick up, and b) I don't have to leave home today.

I don't know if Brodie paws the collar off himself or if it comes off while he and McDuff are ...

Morning. 49 degrees and 35 mph wind with higher gusts. Rain and/or snow predicted for tonight, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Our 6 month old Bernese/black mountain cur puppy, just ate his second collar. I'm off to see if I can find one made from kevlar.

Morning. 24 degrees, no wind to speak of. Just enough rain yesterday to get the ground damp but not enough to sink in. Feels like it has been a dry year.

Morning. 52 degrees, wind steady at around 45 mph. Chance of rain, which explains why so many parts of me are protesting this morning.

Riding in 103 degree weather is not my idea of a good time, but good on you tough ones. I was last in Tombstone about 1983. All I really remember is this huge rose ...

Morning, gentlemen. 51 degrees, steady 30 mph wind with much higher gusts. Sunny overhead with clouds to the east.

Only problem I see with your friend's revenge is it may boomerang since the chronic borrower will, upon discovering the demise of his spray can, need to borrow your friend's again.

Morning. 42 degrees and 20+ mph wind with sunshine.

Facing a long computer day. Currently trying to write the description for a workshop I'm giving at a writers conference in June and the brain is not readily kicking into gear. Title: BEYOND THE REVENGE NOVEL: Incorporating personal experience and ...

Morning. 42 degrees, 27 mph wind, sunny. Got my presentations at the college out of the way and kept most of the rest of the moth open for writing. Today I'm taking my grandson to the ranch store to buy him a new pair of cowboy boots, which is his requested Christmas gift. His birthday is a couple ...

Morning. 42 degrees and wind below 20 mph. Overcast.

Morning. Overcast, 26 degrees, wind 15 mph. Possible rain. I'll believe it when I see it.

Periodic reassessment is a good Idea. We bought the neighboring lot and I keep intending to call the estate attorney to see about adding it to the will. Ours is pretty simple.

Morning. 49 degrees with a steady 35 mph wind accentuated with impressive gusts that make it feel much colder. Roy just came in to get an extra coat for working outside.

Looks like the private equity firm that bought the company from Robert Redford drove it into the ground. Debts all around ...

Morning. 38 degrees, wind whipping along, what snow fell last night is melting. Busy day today: eye doctor, program at the college (I'm giving it or I wouldn't go), and a meeting tonight.

A couple of days ago, Roy thanked me for buying him exactly what he wanted for Christmas. Some kind of tool, I ...

Morning. Never let it be said that Wyoming weather is not balanced. 45 degrees and steady 45 mph wind on our ridge right now, with more impressive gusts to shiver our timbers occasionally. Cloudy, possible snow this evening.

Morning. 33 degrees, 23 mph wind, sunny, but supposed to turn to rain and snow tomorrow.

80 degrees. Goodness. I suppose it is safe to assume you don't live in Flagstaff?

Morning. Sunny, 28 degrees, 20 mph wind.

Over the last ten or fifteen years, mention of Pearl Harbor Day has drifted away, let alone observation. I suppose once the generation of WWII children drift away, that memory will become irrelevent except in history books.

Morning. 30 degrees, cloudy, not much for air movement. Glad to hear your skin is in good shape, Mike.

Birds did that with pyrocantha berries in central California. My mom used to set the cat in the window to frighten them away from the bush. Huh. Hadn't thought about that in a few decades.

Morning, y'all. 30 degrees, air movement pretty slow, though that's supposed to change later today. Overcast, spitting bits of snow.

Thanks, Tom. It was a pleasant surprise. I didn't expect to see any until sometime next year.

Did the pigs ever ger drunk on windfall apples that had fermented? That ...

Thanks, Mike.

Just for the record, I hate pigs and have not a single qualm about having them turned into bacon. Well, okay. Maybe a little qualm, but I was ready to do it myself yesterday. Went out to my son's place to feed animals, and one of the porkers pushed through the gate when I went to fill ...

Morning. 21 degrees, but with a 25 mph wind, it feel a lot colder.

Got my royalty statement last night which shows more income from writing this year than I used to make at either the museum or the law firm. I also have an article in Wyoming Wildlife this month, but I haven't see it yet.
