I hope that I'm not boring you!

The half dugout that Wyman stayed in for 3-4 years after college. He trapped and shot coyotes and bobcats, skinned them, and sold the pelts to pay for college. It is on the 165,000 acre Pitchfork Ranch out of Guthrie, Texas. No utilities, but it had a water well.


Here it is Butch. First photo shows the weeds when I arrived this morning. It was rough!

Wyman keeps it up for the memories.
Some of the articles don't belong on this website, but some are enjoyable to read. I liked your article. Maybe because it's about good people and not bashing someone.
 
I can remember the week end my Father and my Mother's brother built on to my Maternal Grandparents back porch and added indoor plumbing.

The festival celebrating the arrival of a new Sears & Roebuck catalog was never the same after that...

the Old Geezer aka ISS
 
ISS i was as a kid thinking that the reason that it was out there was for reading and working on a list for Santa Claus. It was many years latter i figured out it was a way to be thrifty.
 
Butch does Wyman have a web page where we can see this kind of content in an unlimited quantity? I cannot get enough of it!
 
From Wyman this morning.


Dang it! I don’t recall meeting Dr. Johnson. That’s not unusual though as I do meet so many people who are so kind. I wish I had the memory of my instructor in Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy while in college, Dr. Kent Rylander. It was a bitch of a course in Zoology and a “weed out” class for premed students, which I still don’t know why they made us Wildlife Biology students take it! He could walk in the classroom, have everyone tell him their names and then recite every persons name back to them!!
When I was asked to teach at Texas Tech in 1999, Dr. Rylander’s classroom was only a couple of doors down from my own class. He is such a kind person and when I told him he was my hero and that I wanted to pattern my teaching techniques after his, he seemed embarrassed and humbled. I actually helped him get a book published on ornithology in the 1990’s.
Been damn hot today. After I finished working at the dugout this morning I just chilled out this afternoon. Was 102 here but luckily no wind.
You and Charlotte have a great evening!!
I’m enjoying a glass of Pendleton as I write!
