Our Morning Coffee and Weather

Mankato…..I used to hunt elk on a mountain it NE Washington state called Mankato.

Mankato was a Sioux Indian Chief. Ironically, Mankato was the site where the Army hung 38 Sioux Indians after the
great Minnesota Sioux uprising which killed scores of settlers.

Interesting, thanks for the info regarding Mankato. We had a very similar situation here in the Spokane area. Same scenario, several Indians including the Chief were hung in an area called Latah Valley. The valley was named Hangman Valley, the river in it was called Hangman Creek and a golf course built by the county in the area was called Hangman Valley Golf Course. Here about five years ago (go figure ) the name Hangman was eliminated and replaced with Latah.

Here’s Trey in his boot. I took him out of the backyard into the trees and brush and he did great. He was happy to romp again.

34' with sunny haze this morning. Likely the same the rest of the day up to 47'.

Awesome. Hope he continues to improve. No doubt, he will, but it's gotta be hard. I once cut the bottom of my bare foot on something sharp in the sandy beach of a just started vacation. Hurt and hobbled the whole time. Nothing is quite as disruptive as an open wound on the sole. Good to see him romp again.

Good morning. Should be back home around noon today.
Been searching for a time machine...

Time machine is right! That's about 20% of what I paid for mine back in 2014. Not counting later modifications, of course.

30 this morning looking at a high in the mid 30 with more snow coming in this evening. Maybe an inch or so in addition to the 2-3” we got yesterday. Not much snow for me to mess with but I did shovel off the concrete. Still haven’t put the blade on the Ranger.

Yesterday when I was shoveling off the concrete approach to the garage I had the dogs out with me. They had a great time running around in the snow. As I’m shoveling I start seeing small drops of blood here and there. Yep, our older dog split the large pad on his front paw. So his romping around in the snow is put on hold. Seems to be doing okay. The vet told us to put super glue on it but we weren’t comfortable with that so we’re keeping it wrapped and plan to keep him off any gravel and out of the brush until it heals. So it’s trapped in the backyard for him.

Bummer hope he gets better soon.

He’s doing okay other than his paw is very sensitive to the cold snow when he needs to go outside. We got a rubber boot for his paw for his outings. Tried it this morning and it worked well. I’ll try to get a pic of him wearing it as he looks pretty silly with it on.
