Merry Christmas! Got my usual fill of Bigfoot paraphernalia for Christmas from my kids...

Well, it turned out it was the fuel pump - $950 to replace it on that old Ford. Had to, because I need the truck to get to work. Tires are bald too, the right front being the worst has the belts exposed in one spot. I really don't want to invest any more $ into this beast, because I will be getting rid of it (trading it in, probably) when the Jeep arrives. Which, by the way, I have been told it is now in Oregon, waiting to be unloaded from the train. Then loaded onto a truck and hauled to town. I was told this might take a couple more WEEKS because there is a shortage of drivers. I offered to go pick it up, but the port that is in is controlled by Homeland Security. Not even the dealer can go in. So, wait I must. And try to be patient. Now to get into the Ford and test those bald tires on the way in to work in 30 degree weather and snowy and icy conditions. Who needs coffee, when there is adrenaline?

My brother shot a cow elk today near Chama, New Mexico. 6.5 Creedmoor, 140 grain Nosler Partition @ 200 yards.

Happy Holidays everyone! Haven't been out much, busy with work and family, but will back on my hiking schedule this week......here's a baby Rat snake from the last week, these buggers are mean, even this small. Here is a small herd of Dall Sheep, definitely wasn't expecting to see them, but way cool.

Merry Christmas, ya filthy, 8' tall, 500 lb upright, bipedal animals!

Merry Christmas to one and all. Even Scrooge has turned kinder, caring about others. We all can do it! Here’s a pic I used for my Christmas cards—the tranquility of the Charles River outside Boston.
