Tabanus Atratus
English translation: Big Ass Fly!
This was flying around Quentin and Tiffany's house and their dog got it some how.

The Girls
Gema, 3, and Indy, 8 mos Birthday

Swimming with the Girls
Both Gema and Indy love the water, I can't keep Indy out of it. This pic was in the Colorado River at Glenwood Springs. I took the girls up river a half a mile and we swam downstream with some white water rafters going by. Most of the folks jumped out of the raft to swim with the dogs. Fun Stuff.

Summer Hikes
Delle and her buds hiked up to Hanging Lake, twice this summer. The day after they went, a couple people went swimming in the lake which is a no-no. The lake has a protective layer of calcium that lines the bed so the water cannot escape. If you ever make this hike, you will know and never forget the beauty of the Glenwood Canyon.

Lazy Dogs
It's only 101F outside, girls. This is actually how it is most of the time. They do prefer the snow.

I Wanna Rock
After getting pissed one last time, I decided to toss the 5.25" speaks in the sound bar and replace with 6x9's. The old speaks just didn't do it for me, the amps just killed them. BTW, Indy like rock, Gema doesn't.

Sleepy Cat
So this is where the blog name comes from, 245 Road. Great place to get into the mountains and escape the heat. I think it was a very cool 71F (11,000') here while it was 100F at the house (6,000'). This is the road we take to get to the restaurant at the Sleepy Cat Dude Ranch.

Sleepy Cat
Pitstop, 'On Top'. There were so many wild flowers along side the road (245 Road) to Buford. Looks like someone illegally snipped some Columbine.

New Castle Burning Days
The town was built off the sweat of intreped coal miners. There were 3 seperate mine explosions that killed many men in 1898, 1903, and 1915. The coal viens are still smoldering from those explosions, thus the name 'Burning Days'. This pic shows that start of a story of the last gun fight. I had Indy sitting by me in the shade, along with 100's of people. As soon as the gun fire erupted, Indy made tracks and found a path though the tightly packed croud. I had a hard time keeping up with her. She found another scared dog and they bonded. Poor Indy Pants, turned out she had a UTI and it was 102F and probably 112 on the pavement.

Summer Hikes
Delle and her buddies set out on a few back country hikes this summer. This time they hiked up the mountain behind our house. Now Delle knows that route I take when I go Elk hunting.

Kiki's this Summer
I had a tough time driving through the thick, tall grass with a full trailer of the mayday branches.

Kiki's this Summer
Delle and I filled the wood box and stocked the porch with more wood. We thinned out the Mayday dree Delle is hiding behind.

Kiki's this Summer
Roof repair on This Old Shack. I hope the roof lasts one more winter.

Kiki's This Summer
Delle and I spent a week up at mom's this summer to help out after she tripped at Romy and cracked her patella. The bluebirds like to hang out on these antlers so I installed a pan with a slpash guard so mom could fill it this way.

Horseshoe Canyon, AB
This is a good shot of where they find these dinosaur bones.

Royal Tyrell Museum
We had a blast! What a great place to visit. There were people from everywhere, they even have a penny squisher machine. A docent said that most of the bones on display are the real deal, eh. There was this one huge whale fish thing that had huge teeth and in it's belly it had a fosilized skeleton of it's last meal. Creepy.

Canadian Tire
I'm happy to say that I'm walking out of Canadian Tire with a new Red Dot Scope for my .22 I keep at mom's house. I thought it was ironic given the suckworthy gun laws Canada protects criminals with.
