    I finally got an Eagle!

    IT FINALLY HAPPENED!!! I was driving to near Newcastle up on WY-450 when I saw a dead rabbit on the road. I thought to myself, "Poor bunny - great for a raptor if we had one...". On the way back to Douglas, I passed that spot and by sheer luck, there was a Bald Eagle! I drove past it...

    What all do I need to do to upgrade a stock 06 Automatic Rubicon to 35"?

    Want to put together a list of all the bits-and-bobs, along with anything that would be good to do while all the bits-and-bobs are off and offering access, that I would need to upgrade to 35" tires. What I can think of off the top of my head is: 35" tires (duh - but can I use the wheels I...

    Outlaw Cave, Kaycee Wyoming

    I've lived in Wyoming nearly 3 years and I've decided I've not been to enough of the state yet. So I've resolved to visit someplace new one weekend every month. This month I decided to go to Outlaw Cave west of Kaycee, WY. I also took my camera with me so I could grab some pics because...

    Today is the day!

    My TJ is now paid off and I own it outright. :) Can't believe it's been 5 years almost (I paid it off 4 payments early) since my brother and I flew down to Dallas to buy it and drive it home on Spring Break. Pic my brother took of me when we picked it up.

    Goodbye, Pap

    Last night, Lovell Sampson decided that after nearly 98 years on this Earth, it was his time and passed away peacefully in his sleep. Pap was a WWII Veteran of the Pacific Theater, a father, a grandfather, and great grandfather. One of the hardest working and toughest men I've ever met, he...

    Well folks, I'm considering selling the TJ

    Pretty soon, my TJ will be paid off. Woo-hoo! But she is a 2006 and isn't getting any younger. Parts are getting harder to find - like that heater core I still haven't bothered to get installed. So, I went to a dealer today and talked to them about a 2023 2 Door Rubicon (in blue) that I...

    Grassland Christmas Eve

    Went out on the Grassland to take some pics and see what my new-to-me camera can do! (Sony A7R IVa and Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 Art lens) https://www.flickr.com/photos/cybrslydr/albums/72177720304703612/with/52584336538/ I tried to visualize the kind of shot I wanted and then an attempt to frame...

    Casper 2022 Christmas Parade

    https://www.flickr.com/photos/cybrslydr/albums/72177720304015597/ Not exactly great conditions. lol It was dark, that transitional rain/snow. Only had my 50mm f/1.8 and kept it at 1.8 the whole time. Into ISO 5000 for most of it just to get me 1/50th sec shutter speeds. Out of the 700 some...

    I finally saved up and splurged

    Essentially since I got this job, I've been saving up for a new camera. My parents bought me a Canon 1200D with the 18-55 kit lens and the 75-300 after I got out of the Army. It's been a good camera, but it's getting old and it's APS-C and not full frame. Then there's the fact that the...

    Finally found a heater core, do I need anything else?

    Should I be looking for any hoses as well? I just bought the core and found a shop that'll install it. Silicon? I saw an HPS silicon hose set for the heater core on Extreme Terrain, but I'm a little hesitant to spend another $110 on just hoses...

    It arrived!

    I have a coworker who is big into mountain biking and other outdoorsy stuff. So we talked about me getting a mountain bike. Something I've wanted to do for a while, but it's always been too expensive. Couple weeks ago, a mutual friend/coworker of ours bought one and I was suddenly the odd man...

    It finally happened!

    Coworker and I went out and did some fishing near his house on the Platte today and I FINALLY caught my first trout on a fly! Dave got one a similar size as well. Was a good day. :)
