Can’t recall if his engine was actually off or if I had enough shutter speed to stop his prop. He was rolling down a Taxiway.
Just checked the data.
Had 1/2000 of a sec Shutter Speed set.
Probably stopped the slow milling Prop.

Big Bend, Texas 1929.
Game Warden on left explaining new fur regulations to Fur Buyer on right.
Nice Boots!
But what Handgun is the Warden carrying?
The grip must be white cause they blend with his shirt.

Blowing the picture up until it gets too fuzzy to tell it looks like a single-action of some sort. First guess, based on the photo date given is that it is a Colt SAA.

The weather's been so nice I wasn't thinking about the time of year.

The marmots are probably already underground. They're usually among the first to hibernate.

I was in Cody two weekends ago. Enjoy your time. Plenty to do and see.

When I hunted marmots in eastern WA, they seemed to disappear around late July. Never knew if they were in hibernation or just working the night shift.
 
climate controlled wood storage

My cabin sits atop a half basement on the back and 10"x10" posts and knee braces on the front. That front place has always been a great place to store firewood.

This year a friend gave milled, coped logs to me for an outdoor project. I stacked the logs in my driveway thinking I was going to finish the project before snow flies. Well, that didn't happen.

I wanted to get the logs out of my driveway so they wouldn't be in the way during snow season so last week I came up with a plan to line the open spaces between the posts with the logs. That should stop the wind-driven snow from sifting through my stacks of firewood!

We went back to the Paint Mines near Calhan, Colorado, today and walked through the middle. (see post #6077)

View in Palmer Park, Colorado Springs. The mountain in the background is Pikes Peak.

I didn't stay very long because there were too many people...of course today is the Sunday of a three day weekend, and it's a beautiful day to be outside. So, next time I'll try a weekday.

What is that fence up the hill from your cabin keeping in or out?
That is one steep hill. I'd hate to have to build or maintain that fence. My legs hurt thinking about it.
