Placemats and Thanksgiving
A couple months ago we finally bought a new dining table. It’s not that the old one was in disrepair, but it was time to replace it. The table has dark wood on the top and a white base, with six matching chairs. This is all a backstory, leading up to the reason for this thread… While in Montana, we stopped at an old antique shop, that also had a crazy woman boutique place attached to the shop. The husbands words, not mine, plus that was the name of her boutique. I don’t actually know if she is crazy, or not, but probably. Anyway, back to the reason for this…

I Saw a Moose!
On our way to Great Falls, we stopped in a small town for a bathroom and refreshments. It was a bar, that was also the convenience store. They had beer on tap, a soda pop cooler and small bags of chips, and an old man that wondered where we were heading. I, of course, was more than happy to have a conversation with the old stranger. I told him we were going to spend a few days in the Great Falls area and he said we should make the drive up to Glacier National Park and drive the “Going to the Sun Road” and also added that we’d see plenty…

Glacier National Park
I have had a love for Montana since I was a kid, as I am sure I have mentioned a few times before. I read a book that just captivated me with the descriptions of the mountains, the streams, snow filled winters and spring rainstorms. My imagination took off in what I could only picture as mountains of paradises. Some think of paradise as a beach with bountiful fruit trees in every yard and days filled with no worries and fishing for dinner, but for me, it’s the mountains with snowy peaks and spring fed streams with glacier lakes. In my quest to one day experience Montana, I had always…

Taking 1st Place on VNALive
You guys truly do amaze me; thank you so much for all of the support you continue to give me. It was a rocky start to the year with some glitches on their system, when it came to voting. However, you never wavered in showing up to vote, despite the many frustrations over the course of 2021. We placed 3rd for June and July and took 1st place for the month of August! Thank you, thank you!

Wyoming Rainstorms
We’re traveling through the beautiful state of Wyoming and have enjoyed a few storms; one of which moved through Casper in the middle of the night. I have missed the Texas storms and this was refreshing. Everything is green and lush. Rain is life! We were only in Casper for 2 nights and one day, moving onto Montana but not before heading east to see the Devil’s Tower. It is an incredible sight and I’m glad we went out of our way to see such a phenomenal rock that they are still trying to figure out. Of course, some speculate that aliens had something to do with it, even giving…

Wyoming and Beyond
We’ve been trying to get away for a few months now, and wasn’t sure we’d be able to until the spring, so this trip was a quick planned vacation. We knew we wanted to see more of Montana, though; I decided to send us on a big loop from Nevada across Utah and into Wyoming for the first leg. It’s been beautiful with wide open spaces, big red rock formations, over mountain passes and across the continental divide three times. The views are breathtaking, the skies are blue and clouds are white, fluffy figurines across wide open spaces. It’s refreshing to be away from the smoke filled Nevada skies for…

Changes Are Good
You’ve probably noticed that the site has taken on a completely different look and feel, as well as the blog. On September 1st I became an independent site, and I think it’s time to post the details here, for those of you that have not received an email (current member’s) or my September newsletter. I have always owned my site, but it has been hosted on a network based platform; after much consideration over the last couple years, I have decided to branch out on my own, separating myself from any network. My site will go on as it always has, with Friday updates and twice weekly member shows. Master…

Butterfinger, What?
A few weeks ago I had half of a butterfinger; the next day MtnMan had the other half. We both decided that something has changed because it’s not the same good butterfinger flavor it once was. According to Gregg with 2 g’s, they changed the recipe, which explains why it is no longer a good candybar. My first assumption was that they went “healthier” because it is not as good as it once was. Okay, I admit, the assumption was more in liking to judgement and I was judging the candy maker hard. I mean, it’s a fucking candybar for fucks sake, that in itself, is unhealthy. Seriously, what candybar…

A Rant that Has been Brewing
Holy fuck. This week can suck it! What the fuck is wrong with some people? Seriously, some people do not deserve the pleasure of socializing on the internet. “wow! I’m going broke jerking off to you!” (he took me private once, for 3 minutes, and I see him daily. ) “for a 44 year old you are sexy” (why do some find this to be a compliment. Sexy is sexy, no matter the age, don’t be a dick) “what I want is a bj, but you are not near.” (you’re on a fucking cam site you dickdweeb!) “hey, miss me?” (um, I see you daily and you went private in…

The Bonneville Lake
As we were driving over the salt flats on our way to SLC, I was curious and googled the history of the flats. I have to say, it’s quite interesting what mother nature can do over hundreds of years and centuries of time. I remember a blurp in school about the salt flats, but it was just that, a day or maybe even half an hour of discussing the great phenomenon known as the Salt Flats. You probably already know this, but I’m extremely fascinated by it and now I will share it with you, because that’s what I do. The Salt Flats used to be Lake Bonneville that engulfed…
