The Eye of Snuggles
Snuggles, AKA Mo. Or is it the other way around? And I am Cuddles, right? Only friends will know. I am impressed with the latest surge of images coming my way from Mo’s phone. What an eye. Bees are her favorites … Also plants. And not just flowers. She knows all the “parts” and can…

Living Livingston
Another day of work and I am fried. Trying to get a deadline sewed up. The only thing I can muster is a bike ride. I get Orca out and go for a toot. The next day I drag myself out of bed and make some coffee. When the bean perks me up I code.…

Harriman State Park
To see something new, you must cross a bridge. For coming from what you know to the other side is the journey to something new. It was Suggles’s idea. To go check out the state park. I was like, oh whatever. I had a rowdy day yesterday, so whatever. Some restful spinning might do the…

Surveillance
We have a open door policy when we are on the road. When possible, open the main door. Ans sit there. And watch the scenery. With a beer. With a friend. When the sun sets is when things get real interesting. Bears come out. Wolves start to howl. Owls hoot. I am watching nature but…

Fish
I remember as a child the parents going fishing and when successful loving the fish fry. I thought they were gross and just wanted hot dogs.

Homeless
Let me explain the scene. We’ve got wildflowers with some wild lands smoke in the air and the Sun is coming up. It’s this complete round ball of orangish-red. It’s like something you’d see in a Star Wars movie. And it’s rising over a bridge. I totally had to take that picture. Now I got…

Grand Targhee Bike Park
121 miles and 37,522 feet of plunge. For me Grand Targhee goes back many, many years. I think I was at one of the first Pierre’s hole 100 and got two belt buckles. I’ve always loved this place. Now Grand Targhee hosts one of the best bike parks in America. so when we decided on…

In and around Yellowstone National Park
We call her Charlotte. And I’m having coffee with her today out on the porch. We are waiting for the sun to come up. Inside mr. bear is finding other ways to entertain himself. Just another day in the office and Gardiner Montana just outside Yellowstone National Park. I wonder where Mo is at right…

Another Day in Paradise
Each day starts out just like any other day. Go outside for a brief break upon wakening and bringing the camera to take a sunrise shot. Making coffee. And enjoying said coffee. When making coffee this activity usually includes some grinding and marvelous smells. This will bring along anybody else involved. Then the coffee works…

A Burger and a Walk in the Bearthooths
What does a power couple do after a grand adventure? Well, besides crack a cold one almost immediately. Oh yea, and after a nice shower outdoors. Start the grill and cook up the biggest burger to date. And in the Beartooths you just have to meander off the bench to find a place to walk…

This that and the other thing
As of this writing, I’m sitting on the porch of “Condo 1” in Gardiner, Montana. Sun is out, I’m having my coffee. Yesterday morning I woke up I was in Livingston, Montana. Here and there never know where I will be. Partners working in the park, taking splendid pictures. I’m struggling just to find anything…

Problem With Adventure
I just finished a great ride. A quickie hour and a half. I put my bike into the van and rushed towards the front door. It was about to storm and I wanted to stay dry. I heard that noise. Something like tires in gravel slowly coming to a stop. But I made nothing of…

Grind
I must break out. That lack of a special place is my driver. I leave my apartment and start spinning up the street. I cross a walking bridge and really I notice nothing. I am in my head. There is so much in there it feels like a headache. I turn left. It’s all automatic…
