50 Completely random thoughts
2. More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can’t wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that’s not only better, but also more directly involves me.
3. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.
4. Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you’re going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you’re crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.
5. That’s enough, Nickelback.
6. I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.
7. Is it just me, or are 80% of the people in the "people you may know" feature on facebook people that I really do know, but I deliberatly choose to not be friends with?
8. Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn’t work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards or FAQ’s. We just figured it out. Today’s kids are soft.
9. There is a great need for sarcasm font.
10. Sometimes, I’ll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the f was going on when I first saw it.
11. I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I’ll end up wasting 90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone’s laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove that I’m still the only one who really, really gets it.
12. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
13. I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.
14. The only time I look forward to a red light is when I’m trying to finish a text.
15. Was learning cursive really necessary?
16. Lol has gone from meaning, “laugh out loud” to “I have nothing else to say”.
17. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
18. Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scantron test is absolutely petrifying.
19. My friends Municipal League baseball team is named the Stepdads. Seeing as none of the guys on the team are actual stepdads, I inquired about the name. He explained, “Cuz we beat you, and you hate us.” Classy.
20. Whenever someone says “I’m not book smart, but I’m street smart”, all I hear is “I’m not real smart, but I’m imaginary smart”.
21.How many times is it appropriate to say “What?” before you just nod and smile because you still didn’t hear what they said?
22. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent a dick from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!
23. Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using ‘as in’ examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete idiot. Today I had to spell my farther-in-laws name to a salesman and said “Yes that’s G as in…(10 second lapse)..ummm…Goonies”
24. While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it…thanks Mario Kart.
25. MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
26. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
27. I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the shower first and THEN turn on the water.
28. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.
29. I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t at least kind of tired.
30. Whenever I’m Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don’t mind if I do!
31. Is it just me or do high school girls get sluttier & sluttier every year?
32. Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I’m from, this shouldn’t be a problem….
33. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you’ve made up your mind that you just aren’t doing anything productive for the rest of the day.
34. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don’t want to have to restart my collection.
35. There’s no worse feeling than that millisecond you’re sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.
36. I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.
37. “Do not machine wash or tumble dry” means I will never wash this ever.
38. I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people watching TV. There’s so much pressure. ‘I love this show, but will they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren’t watching this. It’s only a matter of time before they all get up and leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?’
39. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Dammit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What’d you do after I didn’t answer? Drop the phone and run away?
40. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
41. When I meet a new girl, I’m terrified of mentioning something she hasn’t already told me but that I have learned from some light internet stalking.
42. I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it’s on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes.
43. Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles…
44. As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists, and I ride.
45. Sometimes I’ll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still do not know what time it is.
46. It should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood.
47. I keep some people’s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
48. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, hitting the G-spot, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I’d bet my ass everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time…
49. I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit.
50. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
Thank you.

Where does time go?
We also figured out how to use the timer on our camera on this day...
In July Tam and George took us on a mini Vacation to Kellog and Cour De Alene. On the way we rode the Hiawatha trail... It was so cool you ride through mile long tunnels and over bridges. Anyone who wants to experience this trail let me know... I would love to do it again...
Mitch and Mason came to see us this summer, Mitch caught his first fish!!
Mitch and Mason at Horse Creek Hot Springs...
The rest of horse creek hot springs...
Camping on the big hole, on the map I found this lake that didn't have any numbers or any directions, but me being the TOM, TOM I am, we found Schultz Res. really cool a lot larger than I thought.
The bear we saw on one caming trip... it looks like a teddy bear, I promise you it's not fake.
I always take pictures of them while we are driving... Rocco
Rally
Someone's grave on a hike...
Just a pretty picture...
And thats it, I will try to post more than just post once every three months...

Always a new adventure...
Caleb and I would talk and talk, about the most random things, and then stop and wait for Brian, who was having such a great time. Elvis had two speeds, stopped, and very slow. Which was perfect for him to learn on.
I on the other hand had Duke who is as stubborn as me... He liked to be right on the horses ass in front of us, and then at random times would just stop, and wait and wait and wait, and then he would decided to catch up, but not by just walking to catch up, oh no, he would full on sprint to catch up, I will admit the first time he did it I was caught off guard but I laugh my head off. The second, third and fourth time he didn't catch me not expecting it, however it was still just as fun and amusing. We got to the top of the trail and saw a couple of cow elk who looked like they had just calved. We were about 3/4 of the way down and Duke decided to stop, and I mean stop, he wasn't going any further. Caleb informed me he was out of shape and this was his first trail ride of the year... Sorry Duke. So Duke and I had to be ponied out, which basically means Caleb had a rope that pulled us out. So I was able to get more pictures since technically I didn't have to pay attention. Fun times.
The end of the afternoon, three horses asses...
Here are the slow pokes.
Brian and Elvis, Brian wanted me to get their good side.

Weekly snow shoe hike
I don't believe in heaven but days like these makes me see god.

My Boy and me
Name for our Elk
The dogs and our elk spent the day together. It eats all day and they like to eat its poop, they are one happy herd. Today he has made it to the RV Park but always close. If you think about it he/she is pretty smart, one: if he's hanging out with our dogs if anything out of the ordinary comes around they bark and scare it off or they bark and let us know about it. Since he/she isn't afraid of the noise, there is no reason to run away.
Maybe it will move on maybe it won't, but it at least made for an interesting post. The real reason I thought about posting, we need a name for our new friend. We don't know the gender of the Elk but we do know it's young. Any suggestions?

I moved to North Fork and got a mountain man
Long before growing his beard out, he decided to let his hair grow as well. We shall see how long this lasts.
We have been enjoying this relativity easy winter. Hitting the slopes once a week, going for walks and experimenting with the Cafes menu. I hope this year is a good one.
We have also started snow shoeing. It's really fun, and a great exercise. We probably only went about a mile and half, but it was great to get out and see something different, do something different. I want to try and make it a weekly thing. We did take some pictures from that outing.
We are having a super bowl party at the Cafe, bowl of chili and a beverage for$5, if you are around come watch the game with us!!
Oh and I did our taxes today. I'm on top of my game!!!
Adios amigos.

New Year Resolution
On a business note, we are still slow but we are getting a lot of projects done. We are painting the Cafe, and changing the menu around. Friday and Saturday happy hour is going great!!! We are getting more and more people every week. When you live is such a small town, I would say North Fork is a 1/3 of the the size of South Fork (where I grew up). The year around population has got be only 300 (if that). We as a community get pretty bored. This just adds a different environment and breaks up the same ole every day routine. It kind of sucks for me now, since I open Saturday and Sunday mornings, 6:00 am comes pretty fast when you go to bed at 1:00 am. Oh, but is it fun I can't believe in such little time we have great memories with our new community and the people who live in it. Meeting new people is probably the biggest perks to this job.
The weather here is something I have never seen before in my life. It will snow 20" and that night it will rain, and I'm not talking kind of rain I'm talking down right pouring. Last Friday I saw a rainbow, yes a rainbow. In January WTF? The rain makes a mess though, even though its raining and about 37-40 degrees the highway is still freezing and just turns the road to ice. The hill has been great we go at least once a week if not twice, it depends on the amount of cleaning I have. Other than that we are just enjoying were we live and the new friends we have made.
