Hello all. I'm still here in Wyoming, cooking the same stuff week after week.....it's all getting old, but not my time off 
Big Horn National Forest is about 5 miles up the road and whenever I get a couple hours....see ya! It's been fun, but I needed to get a truck (for the dirt roads), a dog (to warn me if anything predatory is about) and a gun (if anything predatory gets confrontational!).
So I got this pup. When I went to look at the litter, she ran right up and said "I'm your dog!!!" She is too. She is totally glued to me all the time. Definite bonding! She's smart and will be a great dog...but she needs a name. She is a papered Australian Shepherd. There are pictures of her here:

Any ideas would be appreciated.
Then there's this truck. It's a '64 Jeep J-200 truck. It is the exact same shade of baby blue as my puppy's eyes. It is in very good shape, considering it is almost as old as me. I put a deposit on it, but won't get it until this weekend after a friend checks it out for me. It is all original and it all works...right down to the AM radio. I'm diggin the truck, but it is so.....BLUE....and therefore LOUD...that I think it deserves a name too.
I was supposed to buy a beater that I could just sell or junk when I go back home, but there's something about this blue monster that got me thinking.....things I have always said I would do...road trips to Alaska, spending all summer in the desert taking pictures, and basically doing exactly what I set out to do here....build myself the life I always wished I had. I can see that truck (not to mention the dog), fitting right into it.
Sorry if this isn't homesteady enough, but darn...it sure feels good to be freaking HAPPY again
LIFE IS GOOD!
