| Looking northeast from the rhody in the Pet Cemetery. |
We have had a nice string of beautiful..., and warm for January weather for about a week now. The picture above doesn't show just how blue the sky is..., and the sun has already started to drop behind the tall trees on the southeast side of The Ranch..., but it is still hitting up on the northern pastures. Charley didn't follow Logan and I up to this shady spot..., he stayed down in the the sunny area. I felt like I should be in my T-shirt instead of my long sleeve flannel shirt while I was up there cleaning up horse manure.

| Looking northwest from the rhody in the Pet Cemetery..., Logan is in no hurry to get there. |
The light was a little better looking northwest..., at least the camera thought so..., but it still washed out the blue sky. You can see the buds coming out on the rhody. We had a couple of 60 degree days and mostly mid- to upper 50's in the afternoons. I was a bit worried about the buds with the overnight temps in the low 30's and a couple of high 20's..., but they seem to be pretty hardy.
I didn't get much time to enjoy the beautiful weather last weekend..., because of the NFL football playoffs. With two games on Saturday and two on Sunday I was trapped in the trailer and glued to the TV both afternoons. At least there are no games on Saturday this week..., so I can get out there and enjoy the weather before it turns on us.
The forecast is for even lower temperatures for the next three days..., but no rain until a "chance" of rain on Monday. That should bode well for the Seattle Seahawks and the fans in the stadium on Sunday..., they might be chilly but they won't be wet. No need for me and dogs to worry about the weather..., even in Denver for that showdown..., where the forecast is for snow and temps in the teens..., we will be nice and toasty warm and dry in front of the TV for the games. Weather dry that is..., not throat dry..., I will assure you.
Hoping for Seattle to go all the way this year..., but I won't be putting any money on it..., that always seems to jinx them..., or me. So I will leave you with this one from Corb Lund..., "Out on a Win"...,
I fought in Brazil, I fought in JapanI wrestled with the Chechens and the DagestanI worked amateur promotions all over the StatesI always showed up and never missed weight
I been choked out, tapped out, and knocked out coldI been heel hooked, leg locked, and TKO-edHammer fist finished and triangle chokedI hate to tell ya boys, but I mighta got old
Lord, all I wanna do is go out on a winFeel the ref raise my arm up feelin' againStyles make fights and with some time in the gymAll I wanna do is go out on a win
Competed in college NCAAI drifted around and found MMAA quick left hook and stiff right handThey said'd be my tickets to the promised land
Well, I rolled with the Gracies a couple of timesTook a few meetings with Dana's guysDid most everything short of makin' the showNow it's a little too late and I'm a little too slow
Lord, all I wanna do is go out on a winFeel the ref raise my arm up feelin' againStyles make fights and with some time in the gymAll I wanna do is go out on a win
Well, these kids coming up are training everything youngMuay Thai, BJJ and Wing ChunAbout all that's left of me before I retireIs an old school, broke down fighter's desire
I give it all up for the OctagonBut with the first few notes of my walk out songAdrenalin hits and with a puncher's chanceI bite down on the mouth guard for one last dance

Hi Scott! Miss you
ReplyDeleteThank you..., I am missing a lot of old and new friends since Facebook banned me..., I can still be reached by email..., scottr@olypen.com. ..., or here on the blog. :)
DeleteThanks Scott a good one from ol’ Corb
ReplyDeleteKevin..., I am guessing..., yeah..., just one more and the Seahawks will be going out on a win..., they had me puckered up a time or two on Sunday :)
DeleteWe watched the Seahawks game as well as Patriots. These days a glass of wine is kind of off limits for me. Diabetes has to keep in check!! No snow just a thin layer of ice here on Sunday. So much for the snow we were supposed to get. Nice to read your blogs.
ReplyDeleteHey Laura..., sounds like the worst of the Big Blizzard snuck by you..., glad to hear that..., it is warming up here..., I don't think I will have to break ice for the critters for the first time in about a week..., but that also means clouds and rain instead of blue skies and sunshine :)
