Found this photo in an old cigar box my dad had tucked away after he passed. That’s me standing between him and my Uncle Bob back on our ranch north of Custer #Montana Probably taken in the late 60s. #cowboys

A photo of the Fireworks #Galaxy I took from my driveway during the last new moon… I had 21 total hours of exposure time, but it turned out that only about 7 hrs worth would align… my focus/tracking just wasn’t good enough I guess. Still kind of pretty though…✨

Finished up another #cuttingboard the other day… For this one I made a maple #wolf inlay for a chunk of 2” thick walnut… will probably just be a decoration for my kitchen 🏔️

10 years ago today I completed the last of the surgeries/radiation/chemo. Just a bad luck #cancer that came out of nowhere. Someday they’ll scatter my ashes in these beautiful mountains, but not today. Today, this day, I will live to the fullest… #livelife

A photo of the Andromeda #galaxy taken from my driveway… Andromeda is about twice the size of our Milky Way, and we are headed towards each other at a speed of ~250,000 mph ✨

How inconsiderable this Earth, the theater upon which all our mighty designs & all our wars are transacted. A fit consideration for those Kings who sacrifice the lives of so many people only to flatter their ambition in being masters of some pitiful corner of this small spot
