Would You Like to Touch My Monkey?
I was working on the ranch this weekend. The gentlemen working alongside the muse found the monkey thing quite funny. Randy attempted to touch my monkey with the backhoe.
I went to a killer party on this guest ranch on Friday night. They do a thing for the neighbors every year - they had an open bar and some super good food. My buddy, one of the neighbors, invited me along for the festivities. There are a ton of hotties working there for the summer, both domestic and foreign. I feel in love a number of times. The dude ranch thing is pretty funny; it reminded me of the show Hey Dude. There was a leather worker there who had on the most ridiculous boots I have ever seen. In order to wear these boots, one would have to be either a leather worker or have a ton of money. The food was excellent and the beer was so cold that it hurt. We finished the night at the Parshall Inn.
Sad news here in the highcountry - one of the students from the high school hit and killed a bicyclist on highway 9 Friday night. That is the road that runs from here to Silverthorne and on to Breckenridge.
Stanley Cup Finals start tomorrow. The NHL is projecting the worst ratings in finals history. I am all for the Flames of Calgary. Do you fear and respect the Lightning? Am going to be the only one watching these games?
I am in the process of cleaning out my classroom. We have the kids until Thursday, Friday is a work day, and then I will be off to Dakota del Norte for a little R and R. LC is taking some time out of his busy schedule to make the trek home.
I figured out where Wolf, LC, Dylron, and the British employee would be this weekend if they were residents of the high country. Shakedown Street will be playing three days in row - sounds like one of Dante's levels.

WWLD
What would larry do? Well, if he was in the high country, he would kill gophers. I have been waiting to get these photos developed forever. Here is another one of LC and I under the famous cliffs of Kremmlings.
I was unaware how out of control the beard got. I would like to get an earlier start next year so I can be sporting the look over the holiday season.
School is winding down - 7 days left. I have been lining up a ton of work for the summer. I will start this weekend with a roof I have to fix in Winter Park. I took a look at the house we are remodeling in June. I would love to have an extra 18 million laying around to buy a ranch.
I saw my boy Gary Barnett on the television last night - the CU scandal is still hot and heavy. It is too bad that those clowns down there do not know when to shut their mouths. Maybe old Gary should resign and take the job at Minot State. Minot State never produced a Kordell Stewart, but Josh Dumal did take some snaps.

Baseball...Brandin'...Booze
That about sums up another weekend here in the high country. Vinny and went down to Denver to watch the Rockies play on Friday night. They suck. We picked up some tires for Vince's car, avoided a falling bridge, and got our asses back to the high country for a good ol' fashion branding early Saturday morning. I avoided a kick in the junk, but ended up getting cow blood all over my pants. I stated earlier that branding is not a PETA sanctioned event.
Did anyone out there catch SNL? Those Olsen Twins make me nervous. They don't even look real. Which is addicted to pain pills? Which one has an eating disorder? Both these talented ladies will soon be yapping about artistic skills. Which one will launch a solo music career? Home school and time with Bob Saget had to prepare at least one to write a terrible novel inspired by On The Road and Fear and Loathing.
I just received the sophomore research papers for the semester. Only two plagarists so far, but the night is still young. I have a busy week. I have to finish all these papers, fix a roof in Winter Park, start another remodel, and find time to go fishing.
I emailed some photos of Larry's journey to the High Country to a number of individuals. Said photos might be tomorrow's post. I also want to throw a shout out to Dylan...Thanks a million for the Mountain Dew email. That is the best thing I have seen on the web since "where's my baseball"
Things in Kremmling are icy hot!

Rocky Mountain High
Things are busy here in the high country. Vinny and I are heading down to the big city to watch the Rockies and the Phillies tonight after work. The Rocks are almost at .500 this year, as usual we are all at the edge of our seats. We have to trek back to the highcountry early tomorrow; I have been invited to another branding tomorrow morning. Branding is like tailgating for ranchers. It is solid rationale to start drinking at 8 in the morning. I ran the drencher at the last branding I attended. Branding is not a PETA sanctioned event.
I went down to Vail last week and had a cocktail with my boy Kobe. He told me to watch out for chicks from Eagle County, they have attitude. If Kobe would have stayed at the Hotel Eastin in historic Kremmling, this whole mess could have been avoided. Aside from a few poaching incidents, i.e. Ty Murray and Steven Seagal, things stay pretty quiet in the high country. CU is still hot and heavy. I would have gone to grad school three years ago if St. John's lured me with strippers. I wish they would not be so hard on the football program at CU. One trip to Boulder and any individual will realize that there are a number of groups that need criticism. What about the recruiting practices of String Cheese Incident fans?
Big news here in the high country: Michelle Pfeiffer is building a house up on the Gore. She will only be 15 miles out of Kremmling. I am hoping for a Basic Instinct type incident at the Quarter Circle Saloon and Grill later on this summer.
Am I the only one watching the NHL playoffs? I am cheering against the Lightning right now. Although lightning is a noun, I lump them with teams that are named after adjectives. The Lightning is just so damn cheesy. The Wild illicited my fury on this issue. What the hell is a Wild. Exactly, it is friggin adjective.

Summer is in the air and nipping at my heels. It is nice to only have three weeks of school left. I am heading to Rapid City as soon as I am finished with work. My buddy Scully is building a new house. I look forward to working for beers and steaks.
I will head up to dakota del norte after that. LC has decided to take some time out of his busy schedule to visit the folks. I will head back down here after a little R and R to make some scratch before I start grad school in the fall.
Another opportunity to house sit has presented itself. Actually, My buddy Leo lost his dad on Saturday night and took the family back to Wisconsin. I am holding down the fort while they are gone. I have to feed the dogs and his daughter's fish. Some huge responsibilty, but I think that I can handle it.
One of my co-workers was put on administrative leave for the rest of the year. My boss is worried about confrontation since they fired said individual for no reason. Our superintendent asked my co-worker, "have you thought about not working for the next 3 weeks and still getting paid?" Wow, what a genius! I have been thinking about not working for the rest of my life and still getting paid. Another great thing about education: we even have silly titles for paid vacation.
LC, have you ever thought about becoming a teacher?

whassup
Guns sent me this site a long time ago. If you don't know about the stuntaz, then you betta asted somebody. I am that somebody. I am so pumped for the weekend.
We have sad news at WGHS. One of my students might have brain cancer. It sounds like all the results will be in later on today. She was in school briefly today to get some assignments. I told her that the research paper can wait. I hope that everything pans out.
The weekend is on the way. I will work again tomorrow at the ranch. Tonight is an open slate. Maybe a ride to the cliffs is in order. It is 80 here today. This whole friggin state is going to burn if this weather keeps.

Finally
It seemed like forever, but spring is finally in full swing. I have been able to ride my bike the last ten days straight. I will miss the mountain biking around here almost as much as the hunting. Santa Fe will be nice, but I won't have ten different rides 5 minutes from my doorsteps.
I finally made it to Coors Field for my first Rockies game of the season last Sunday. The Rocks won a heartbreaker 13-4 against the Braves of Atlanta. The Braves had 7 errors - 4 on the third baseman. He was the best player we had. There were only 3 home runs between the two teams. Usually, it seems like there are 7 or 8. I try to make about 6 games a year. I don't care much for Denver, but I have enjoyed all the pro sports. I went to a couple Avalanche games and a few Nuggets contests through the course of the year. I watched the Nugs and T-Wolves play earlier this year. The guy I work for on the weekends got us 7th row tickets in the Pepsi Center. A good time was had by all.
I have a new favorite show on PBS. I have actually been watching it for about six months. Here is one of my favorite recipes... I am thinking about whipping some up for next Christmas in the Magic City. Take a look through the whole site... Viegstad is the man.
For those of you in or near the homeland, Larrous and I will be making a pilgrimage in early June. Beers will be sliding down at an exponential rate.
DON'T FORGET MOTHER's DAY...I wrote KC a poem and sent a card yesterday. It is tough to compete in this family. AC has a wife, so she put a card and creative present in the mail weeks ago. LC has plenty of GD time on his hands - it is guaranteed that he will take a break from beer guzzling and skateboarding to think of something that will turn on the water works in Dakota del Norte.
We have a couple days off from the playoffs. Thank God the Red Wings are out. I am pulling for the Flames of Calgary. Too bad Lanny McDonald doesn't come out of retirement for the remainder of the playoffs.
