Wyoming and Idaho

We are back from a quick vacation. I managed to score three (actually several more) bucket list items in 4 days. 1.) Long Snowmobile Trip. 2.) Yellowstone Park and 3.) Wyoming. I reached my 50th State --Wyoming! And we took a 90 mile snowmobile trip in Yellowstone National Park. We went to the "Craters of the Moon--National Monument and Preserve" in Idaho and also stopped at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) where I got to see (with my own eyes) the very cool nuclear powered twin turbojet engine. It was a successful experiment in the 1950s and 1960s. https://whatisnuclear.com/safety-minutes/htre-3-meltdown.html Of course, I had my Radiacode scintillation detector with me and yes, the apparatus is "Hot". The screenshot of the readings from my three walk-arounds the artifact. I swear you could smell the radiation. There was a very un-natural burnt smell something reminiscent of burned bakelite. Although, I am quite certain the emitted radition was not the source...

Directional Drilling: Leaders in Directional Drilling I havn't blogged much this week. Fawna is slowing signs of slight improvement. However, she still cannot stand up by herself. I will give her an accupuncture treatment again today. I am also bring the temp in the llamahouse up to 80 today to see it that helps her any. We ran out of coal and wood this week. Bonnie and I agree that we really missed the stove heat. We will be back in gear this weekend with wood and coal.

Fawna is doing a little better. She still cannot get up on her own but we are hopeful she will be able. We got some more acupuncture needles (controlled in NY, I wonder if pins are..) I will give her the acupuncture treatment tonight or tomorrow.

Car Talk: Windows Media Fawna was terrible last night. Today she is much better. WE are trying to figure out why she was so bad last night. Me may never know. Today it is 30 degrees!!! Above zero!!!!! The boys were frolicing and pronking. By the time I got the camera they were just running around a bit. It is so much fun to watch. Click on the photo for a short video.
