Sunday Pic of the Day

The wife is already getting frustrated with me and the wood stove. 😂View attachment 306450
It depends on where you spent the day. Back in my cattle days, after spending all day on a horse in blowing snow, I'd come home and crank the wood stove. Sometimes it takes a lot to get thawed back out, then you open the windows and doors to see if you can get it cool enough to sleep.
 
Been over 40 years since I was on top of that rimrock. There was a wild horse herd and no sheep back then.
That’s Mt Garfield. You’re lucky you escaped. They say you’ll never leave the Grand Valley once you’ve climbed it. Here’s the view from the top. This pic was taken in February. The lack of snow might be why people never leave.

Woke up this morning to go duck hunting and found a flooded kitchen that was like a sauna. Hot water line broke under the sink not sure how long it ran. Cleaned up then had to wait for the hardware store to open of course being Sunday didn’t open till 11am. Finished the plumbing went ahead and did tge cold water line while i was at it now debating if I care enough to replace the soaked drywall I ripped out to get to the plumbing. My Sunday is pretty well shot oh the joys of home ownership.20231217_133857.jpg20231217_134059.jpg

My wife wanted to climb Mt Garfield for a while when we lived there. I didn't have much desire. She finally talked me into going. I had to almost drag her up the first incline. Ended up making it to the top, and although she was very satisfied she never felt the need to do it again.
The yorkie didn't think it was too bad.

I climbed it from the airport side...straight up to the notch in the cliff. At the time the only people that I knew that had climbed it were guys that would go in from the west and chase and capture lions. I wa surprised at the wildlife on the north side: Lions, bear, foxes, coyotes, deer, elk, turkeys, chokers and quail.
