  • Our January - Febuary 2007 Ice Storm

    No power, so no kerosene, gas, water, no heat! You and pets/ birds stayed/lived in  Arctic sleeping bags, trying to stay warm!


    Starting that one night, then a few hours later at day break the same pine tree was carved in ice
















    Trees started snapping off, after bending as far as they could from the weight.






    What are you doing here Mr. Robin? Your Food-  bugs/worms Dairy Queen style? How come you are not frozen? Oh I guess you are!

    Mule Takes on Mountain Lion

    Fwd: Fw: True meaning of "Bad Ass" - Mule Takes on  Mountain Lion - WOW!

    This may be a first...

    A couple from Montana were out riding on the range, he with his rifle and she (fortunately) with her camera. Their dogs always followed them, but on this occasion a Mountain Lion decided that he wanted to stalk the dogs (you'll see the dogs in the background watching). Very, very bad decision.

    The hunter got off the mule with his rifle and decided to shoot in the air to scare away the lion, but before he could get off a shot the lion charged in and decided he wanted a piece of those dogs. With that, the mule took off and decided he wanted a piece of that lion. That's when all hell broke loose for the lion.

     

    As the lion approached the dogs the mule snatched him up by the tail and started whirling him around. Banging its head on the ground on every pass. Then he dropped it, stomped on it and held it to the ground by the throat. The mule then got down on his knees and bit the thing all over a couple of dozen times to make sure it was dead, then whipped it into the air again, walked back over to the couple (that were stunned in silence) and stood there ready to continue his ride as if nothing had just happened.

     


    Fortunately, even though the hunter didn't get off a shot, his wife got off these 4..
