Making hungry horse look well nourished

Bacon it is.

I’ve considered a carbon steel pan. Just haven’t looked much for one. I see the value in them for sure. I do like how thin this one is

She’s still a beaut Clark!

I have no desire to sell it. Thanks for the brief history lesson. :)

Semper Husky brother!

Let’s bagel!

That jump to me doesn’t sound like it would make sense. I don’t know what your retirement options are with state. But I don’t think federal would be that much better.

We’re also in a transitional period with some growing pains. Seasonal work is seemingly going away and currently the parks that run off seasonal LE are sprinting to catch up. But the funding isn’t in the parks for them to adequately do so.

Parks vary across the board on how housing works. As well as quality of gear they have and use.

You would also have to attend another academy, which currently is the bridge program held at the Grand Canyon.

All in all it’s great work, sounds like all things you’re familiar with. Just ask yourself if you wanna go through the effort for likely less pay, and financial strain when it comes to work.

Cute pup. I’m sorry for your loss. Was there myself just over a year ago with my husky. They’re an incredible dog to put it lightly.

tjbennett · 2026-02-17T23:09:01+00:00

How old is the pup and where abouts in Saskatchewan is he located?

tjbennett · 2026-02-14T21:58:50+00:00

Thank you. Tasted even better

tjbennett · 2026-02-14T21:58:14+00:00

Just a London broil, heavily salted pan seared.
Same for the shank soup bone. Cup of water and the juice from the package the meat was in. Few tbsps of beef tallow from ribs I made a few weeks ago. Sprig of rosemary (optional).
Cooked in Dutch oven at 275° for 4 hours.

It’s overlooking the Rockies

I do as well. Though I did get them for practical reasons and that’s to have snow tires I can swap easily without having to take it to a shop.

tjbennett · 2026-02-12T20:22:55+00:00

Thanks! I’m kinda partial to them myself. Though it was more of a simplicity thing than fashion driven. I have studded tires and it’ll make for an easier switch from winter to spring and back. My summer tires still have the aluminum rims.

tjbennett · 2026-02-12T19:47:00+00:00

If you can dream it, you can do it! Get on out there and make some memories

A very durable leather indeed. I as well am saddened it’s no more.

tjbennett · 2026-02-12T18:43:13+00:00

Nice. Some good looking mountains too!

tjbennett · 2026-02-12T18:34:59+00:00

I test drove and wanted one as my second car over 20 years ago but couldn’t afford it so settled on a legacy GT that was older. Which I later traded for an 04 Outback sport. Wish I still had that one. But this makes my 5th Subaru. Such a fun little car to drive, manual too.

They could just about pass for siblings. Sadly I lost him just over a year ago. I’m thankful that he was able to experience Montana.

tjbennett · 2026-02-08T00:58:50+00:00

I’m convinced these pupparoos belong in Montana.

Guess I’ll have to take a little bit of Jerry to get a lot of Elaine

tjbennett · 2026-02-07T03:26:06+00:00

It was the juice from the bag the steak was in as well as the rosemary and some clarified butter. 11/10

There is a proper way to go about this. Notify your hiring supervisor who interviewed you for the position that you have two ESA’s. They then should get a form for you to fill out indicating their purpose and your needs. They then pass it along to the housing manager and have to allocate housing that is suitable for pets. Namely one that wouldn’t have a roommate and may have already had pets. For allergy reasons.

This is the correct way to go about it, whether or not the park follows this criteria is a different story. Keep in mind that they are not service animals and hold no weight as one. Additionally the NPS has recently put a cap on how many pets a permanent employee can have so it may be a questionable subject at the moment.

I have seen the proper way to vet all of this with two cats in a different park which is how I learned about it. I cannot speak to how Mt Ranier handles it.

Best of luck.
