Cheyenne again

Howdy-

I figure since we are here in Cheyenne it would be appropriate to start off with something like "Howdy," whatever. Today was good, it didn't rain, snow or sleet today like it has in years past. We actually finished early enough so that I could shoot some of the "roping lifestyle." Basically guys sitting on their horses waiting to rope. There was an add-on roping this afternoon which gave me that opportunity. This is the only shot I thought worthy to post.

We ate at the best place on earth, Sanford's Grub & Pub, freaking' awesome!!! After we walked the pups around the lake across the street, funny thing, as we were walking we spotted about 10-12 guys ranging in age from 10years to about 17 having some kind of light saber war. For all you Star Wars enthusiasts you know what that is. I wish I had a video camera, I think a couple of these guys had capes...gives new meaning to the term "Geek Squad." It was quite entertaining.

Well off to bed, long day tomorrow. Hope everyone has a restful Labor Day Weekend.

Ciao,

A different side of Cheyenne

Evening-

Today was great...got the tedious stuff out of the way early, then Steph and I ventured out to the local Botanical Gardens, located across the street from the Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo grounds. I was very impressed...lots of very interesting plants, herbs and flowers...plus I got to spend some quality time with Steph. We start tomorrow, not looking forward to it, but it pays the bills. Enjoy the photos...I had to edit out alot. The entrance to the gardens had an arch made of horseshoes that were welded together...very cool.

Until tomorrow...adu.

Great Balls of Fire

Greetings from Kempner-

Well now that the Olympics are over finally I might get some sleep. I was thinking that thought last night anyway until the phone rang and the voice on the other end asking if I wouldn't mind shooting a fire...A FIRE...does a bear @#*! in the woods? No big thing, just a structure fire about two miles from Hacienda Del Loco Lobos. It's amazing how fire will level a manufactured home...I mean the "home" is basically wood and plastic, no wonder the thing melts.

We are off to Big Sky country tomorrow evening, Cheyenne Wyoming, for the holiday weekend. Hey speaking of the Olympics, how about the Women's soccer squad bringing home the Gold!!! Hey Selfy, what happened to the U.S. Guys?? Just curious, I hope you had an awesome experience.

Everything is good here, just working alot, the in-laws are coming for a visit on the 6th, should be a good time.

Take care everyone and we will talk to you soon....Good times, Good times.

A different kind of roadtrip.

Hello all-

I know it's been a few weeks since this has been updated, so here you go. Last Wednesday we set off to Hereford,Texas for the Spicer Gripp Memorial Roping...good times. Unlike any other road trip, this one was a tad bit different...let me explain.

Wednesday morning 7a.m....ready to go, all packed and doing the last walk through the house making sure everything was a go. Our eldest feline "Bratt" decided to have a MASSIVE seizure as we were walking out the door. Since she had an "episode" the night before and had been in declining health for the past several months, I had to make "the call" to end her life. We acquired her before Steph and I were married while I worked as a vet tech in Dallas, so we figured her age was about 17 years, damn good life for a cat. I think this cat was probably on her 15th life so I think the right decision was made, very, very sad. We will miss her.

9:30 a.m...we finally get on the road and head north, all is well considering, until we get to Hwy 183 and I-20 a town called Cisco. We make a left onto the frontage road and Steph discovered "Shit ,we have a flat!" Come to find out that we have a "flat" on the rear left tire on the trailer. I use the term flat sarcastically because as you can see not much of the tire was left. We eventually arrived in Hereford with about 30 minutes to spare, all ends well. Had a great weekend, ate and drank too much, but overall had a good time and got some great images.

Since the weekend is upon us, have a great one and be safe. Love to all.
