With school not starting for a few more days, I decided to take a ski adventure into the mountains.  The plan was to drive up FR 517 until the snow stopped the truck and skin from there.  Also part of the plan was to build a snow shelter, camp for the night, skin up some more and [...]

It’s that time of year again.  It’s our annual pilgrimage.  Just as the grizzlies of Yellowstone migrate to the upper elevations of the Absaroka in search of hearty pine nuts before winter takes hold, we humans too have a migration.  Our migration comes in many forms but the end result is the same.  Planes, trains, [...]

I’m Hungry

My appetite for something  extraordinary makes my stomach groan like an engine trying to turn over.  Obviously I haven’t been putting the right kind of fuel in my engine.  It sits stalled out in a pasture with the grasses slowly growing and creeping.  The cranial engine sits rusting, grasses slowly reclaiming it, never to run [...]

Let me start this post by saying I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed.  Now, with that disclaimer out in the open the headlines in the paper continue to shock me.  Let’s break down four headlines in the same local paper on the same day…I had to laugh at the comedy of errors. 1: [...]

In a few months looking forward to 60 miles, 6 of the tallest peaks in the range, countless lakes, minimal supplies, a notepad, and days to myself.  It’ll be interesting to see how fast I can run away.

Got my Census today….this is going to be great.  Wherever I go my Census will go with me.  Reminds me of the days of My Buddy. Wherever I go, my Census and Me!!!…..My Census won’t be used for “counting every man, woman, and child.”  Instead I’ll utilize it as toilet paper, a napkin, a coffee [...]

….then take out a PayDay loan and bribe the longshoremen to give you another ship.  I think that’s how the old time saying goes.  Times are tough.  So tough in fact that I ‘ve decided to turn my empty dinner place setting into useful tools to actually put food on the table.  My first attempt [...]

“The best part of waking up is Joe in my Vandals Cup”…..

With the health-care debate heating up, my mind wanders to find something the government runs efficiently.  After four light years of pondering I couldn’t find anything so I settled on the United States Postal Service.  I believe it’s a applicable comparison to private and public health-care options.  On one side you have FedEx and UPS, on the [...]

Was going to ollie over it but was riding the tandem…So I went with a no hand tail whip with a can can to get around this guy.

No I’m not talking about lining my roof with 50K in solar panels so I can save 1k a year in power.  I’m setting out on foot and leaving this world behind…at least for 6 days.  Destination is wherever my machete guides me.  I’ll likely be battling apex predators atop granite cliffs while a storm [...]

Aquapasture.com and myself have been off the radar for a while.  I’m back but am operating at about 80% with power spurts that max out at about 85%.  The reason for my temporary departure from this world is something of a mystery.  It all started about three weeks ago.  I was rollin East on the highway [...]
