Big Sky Vacation Day 2: Bears don’t need cell coverage
Second leg of our journey began early today. We got moving around 6:00 so we could be on the road by 7:30. Sounds early, but we had some big plans for the day. The road was still pretty open with little traffic. In South Dakota, the speed limit is 75. This suits me fine. I […]

Big Sky Vacation Day 1: Through the land of cheese haus
Luckily, the alarm went off this morning. Otherwise, I would have slept through the time to leave. Sascha finished the job by demanding to go out and look for squirrels. I got moving and took my shower. From there, it was time to finish packing. Rich got moving, too. Wow, even Rick got up. Just […]

Derby Party 2014
This year’s Derby celebration was going to be very scaled back. There was no fresh Zurekbrau available due to the effects of the polar vortex. It was just never warm enough out there to brew beer! With freezing temps, it was hard to be exposed, standing on cold concrete, and trying to use water without […]

Ode to Rammy
This truck has been in the family for many years. We brought is home October of 1999. We drove it through a blizzard New Years day. It drives very well through very deep snow. This body style was the best looking style went Dodge introduce it. I still think it is the best looking style. […]
