Colorado Rope Tow

We had quite a dump on Sunday, Jan 29. Enough to get out the rock skiis and make some turns down our road. So many times in the summer as I was running or walking up the road in 100 degree weather, I would think that I would ski the road given the chance.

It's a shame puppies have to grow up. I guess the part I won't miss is that Indy had a tough time with Coccidia and got me up 5 times a night for the first month.

These two sisters have been having so much fun in the snow. I would dig a deep hole and bury a tennis ball, Gema would dig, dig, dig, to get it out. Indy finally had to get into it and mostly got covered with snow.

When we went for our first walk around the loop, Indy made it about 3/4 of the way. She got a little cold so I tucked her into my jacket and carried her home.

Here's Sickum - Indy's and Gema's dad - with Delle and Kiki.

Here's Bailey with all the rug rats. Bailey is also Gema's mom.

We spent some time with all the pups and decided on this one. Her initial name was Innie and her sisters name was Outie.

This is THE MAN! Smokey JoeQuinton of Nowata Oklahoma (918-273-3125). He and one of his boys builds custom smokers and ships them around the world. This one he custom built for me weighs in at 650lbs and is simply amazing. Hard to tell it was a scorching 105 degrees in the shade. I had loaded up the smoker and Smokey Joe gave mee all the Pecan I could haul. I filled up 9 gunny sacks and got on the road by noon. I think I got home at midnight, that was a long day driving from OK to KS to CO. Let me know if you want to swap BBQ recipies.
