Bronx Cowboy

Return visit this morning from my buddy Robert from the Bronx  - his first trip out to TFL was May 12th.  He got the updated tour and the chance to meet Dick Cain and his son Breeze who rode up on horseback for a roundup visit.  Packed up the truck and headed east.  Welded all afternoon on Aunt Kathy's screen room.  Dinner at the Starlight Theatre.  44,56,40,0,B

cloudy day...

Another one of those days that happen so rarely out here - heavy cloud cover.  Sun finally poked out around 5PM.

Spent the day feeding cows, rigging the ringer in the base of the payphone, shuffling stuff in the hut, and trying to find the optimum exposure settings for my IP Cam (I finally read the manual).  38,52,40,0,B
