Another one of those wide-angle patch-it-together pics. Bear Butte, sticking up out of the prairie flatness. (lots of trees there, folks - just too tiny to see well in this pic) :)

@KatzWh1skers said: You know, I realized tonight that I might be feelin the effects of higher altitude than I'm used to....My friend just mentioned tonight that we are about 1500 feet higher here than I am back home. Now that might not seem like much, but I know I am sensitive to elevation changes. (wouldn't let me "quote" from the closed thread)

Anyway, when I did that short stint working at Grand Canyon about a zillion years ago, I went from 32 feet elevation to 6,000 feet. I can handle elevation changes just fine (at least to 12,000 feet) on a temporary/short term basis, but after about a week of being at Grand Canyon Village, I got sick. The admin folks told me it happens to a lot of people right after they move there. Felt like I had a bad cold, but without the runny nose or sore throat, etc. In another week, it cleared up, my body acclimated, and there never was another problem.
I've had elevation sickness before. While in college, I worked a few summers for the Forest Service. My station was at 8,500ft. Where I went to school was at 164ft.

I read somewhere, you're supposed to ascend 1K a day or something like that, but who really does that.

9/26 - 2: TIOA sns 2 eps 14: The next morning as the treefam got up, they smelled that wonderful breakfast cooking..... mmmm bacon. Everyone gathered to eat, thinking of Angel still. As the conversations started up tiggs was asked by Anjel "Where is Road?" Well I gave Road my water, but had to come back. Some overheard this and began to look around, Road was missing as well. What in the world is going on? Fuzzy had now become more than irritated, and started to devise a plan. Peoples nerves were on end, even Count was not :pop:, Mac no longer rode his bike, Bella had not charged anything on her endless account for two days; and Blue was using her new big stone to send out good vibes.:tumble:

Hippo Birdie 2 Ewes also @74deeds

Gonna throw in a couple pics here, just because I found an oldie that is kinda funny. This guy is me, but when I saw it in my archives, I wondered if I had a pic of Shawn (sorry, @Shawn Hoefer ). Well, it is an old farmer-type with a gray beard...:)

Then I thought I'd show you the sign I made for my most farm-like tool:

Hi everybody!

Today has been a lazy day so far. Boyfriend has been on a fallout new vegas kick recently. He thinks 12am-6am are the best hours to play. I don't agree lol. I need my sleep. I was supposed to go to a birthday party today but don't feel up to it. Seems like a good day to just chill at home and put more effort into dinner tonight since I have time. I'm thinking chicken piccata and mashed taters. Mmm sounds so yummy. Gotta go to the store now.


Congratulations @olscratchy!

9/26 - 3: TIOA sns 2 eps 15: Enough was enough said Fuzzy, it is time to find out what has happened, gather enough food and water for three days travels. As the treefam went to do so Fuzzy went back to his house, and grabbed a wooden case. After all had gathered with their supplies, Fuzzy opened the case. Inside was found a stash of firearms. Fuzzy took out a Colt 45 and placed it on his hip. He then passed out some more to the eldest of the group. "We are going out to find Angel and Road, who is with me?" A roar came up from the treefam, and they began out on the path that Road had taken.
