Dude!

Howdy Friends,

I have a confession to make.  It's been awhile... since I really got excited about food.  (Not sure what that is all about.  Maybe I've been too busy for my own good or something.)  Anyways... Siri was in town yesterday and doing the shopping.  Yeah for Mommy!  Being a health conscious individual, she got me some BBQ sauce that doesn't contain any high fructose corn syrup.  Well, I must say, "She done good!"

This sauce is like putting awesome in your mouth.  It's like finding 40 bucks in the drier.  It's like your 18 month-old daughter decided to use the potty for the rest of her life and take 4 hour naps everyday.

If I was a NASCAR, I'd have this sauce tattooed all over my body.  If I was a piece of chicken, I'd only bathe in this sauce.  I think I've been converted.  Available @ Town and Country.  Guy Fieri Barbeque Sauce Kansas City Smokey & Sweet.

 

Hope to see you below the green boxes with BBQ Chicken and a Red Lodge Helio.

Hogbows of Promise

Howdy Friends,

Last weekend I got to fish my first tail water fishery in Montana.  Despite the large number of anglers present the water still seemed thick with and even smelled of fish.  Down right hog infested.  I was privileged to accompany friend and Parks Fly Shop pro-staff member Ben Jewell.  He's an excellent fly tier, caster, hog lander, rock jumper,  and all around excellent fisherman.  He also a fishing machine and I'm not sure I've ever fished with his equal.  Well done.

Fishing was great and we got into them right away.  Shrimp and eggs was on the menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  Using my 4wt all day I found it hard to land the fish but after some tips from Ben I was able to beach a few.  I'm not gonna lie, my arm still hurt on Tuesday this week.  Below are a few pictures.

 

It was fun!  These are some of the biggest rainbows I've seen since coming out here.  What a day!  On the way home we got to see some other rainbows and even a funnel cloud.  I got to experience my first thunderstorm of 2013 in Montana.

 Thanks Ben for a great day on the water.  Until then hope to see you below the green boxes.

P.S.

Here are a few more random pics from the day.

The Passing

Howdy Friends,

I spent some time on the road last weekend and was watching spring start to overtake the country side.  I got a little inspired to write.

Montana mourns the death of winter and the land is covered with tears. In it's dying, winter gives way to life, as pairs of geese dot the riverside and robins chatter in the willow once again.  Hints of spring appear and lift the green veil as subtle as a sunrise.

That's all for now.

Hope to see you below the green boxes.
