Our updates for all of you

So yesterday wound up being 637 miles, today around 540, I think. Tomorrow is supposed to be around 500 to my destination. Overall a better day and about 11 hours long driving. I deducted a little over an hour for a couple of stops I made a long the way. First was to a small museum in the town of Garry Owen, Montana. Stacy and I have stopped several times at the Little Bighorn Battlefield site, but never at the museum I visited today. I enjoyed taking a look at the artifacts on display from Custer's Last Stand, and a bit more from the indians view. The town is actually located on the spot where the over 4,000 indians were encamped when the attack and subsequent massacer took place in June 1876. Second stop was a place we had stopped to see back in 1996, a site of an old fort near Buffalo, Wyoming. Other than that it was just drive. Temps were 93 to 98 all daytime to dark, and I did get some rain near Rapid City, South Dakota. Still a lot of motorcycles around from the Sturgis...

So, I'll drop these little ' notes' as I travel to Missouri. Story is yesterday morning I had a voice mail appear on my phone from my brother Mike. Now he was still in China at the time and I had no idea when he would have sent it, but the message said he was on his way back to the USA and then to Missouri. It would take him 4 or 5 days to get there. With all the news that Clifford was going downhill fast, he thought, if possible, we should try to get together with him. So at 7:40 this morning I was on my way. Stacy could not go with me because one girl is on vacation at work and Stacy will cover for me on a Court case on Tuesday. So after a rather long day of driving, I made it to Hardin, Montana. I'm in our Chevy truck which I'm not complaining about!  I am remembering why I don't like Summer trips, hot, hot, hot. At least I'm in the air conditioned truck. I had thought about driving the Solstice. But honestly, even though I really enjoy the car,  it ca...

In case you, the reader, hadn't noticed, I have found out the problem I often read about on other blogs I follow or in podcasts I listen too, keeping up with them!!!!!!!!!!! You'd think it wouldn't be so hard, just writing something noteworthy or not, every so often and press the "Publish Post" button. But with this blog it's been most of the summer since the last, not even full, blog post! So to my friend Robin, thanks for the call Sunday to ask why I haven't posted lately! Well, so what have Stacy and I been doing since our return from the Dude Ranch week in June? First off it has been a fairly busy summer work wise. Stacy has been traveling from once to three times a month to Boise and for two days to a week for state level meetings. She also had her week in Boise at the Police Academy as an Instructor and found out she'll have to take another class, this time only one week long, for Supervisor next month. It is really too bad they wouldn...
