Entertaining myself in Utah

And here is a video of that flare. Still doesn't do it justice. It's quite impressive in person.

we have those candles all over out here. I thought it was a party or something.

There is one across the highway from our land and even though it is probably a mile away it feels like walking around in full moon light at night.

Ray, I'm under the impression that these are oil companies burning off natural gas that they run into, when they are looking for oil and not set up to utilize the gas. Any truth to that?

Sometimes that is what is happening. Especially in Weld county right now.

That isn't what is going on where I'm at though. We have a unit down for repairs so the gas can't be moved and when the line pressure gets too high it vents through the flare.

very cool stuff! I love little towns

Today's Utah pictures. Nothing too exciting.

Went to check on some parts we had delivered and found this. Thought maybe someone was goofing around but we had ten large parts and all of them had this. The parts were wrapped in cellophane and apparently this special tool is used to unwrap them.



The place I have been having lunch every day this week so far has a bunch of old stuff on the porch. Snapped a quick picture of the Coke machine.



The diner where I have been having breakfast every day has these funny little books on the table. Finally found two that really spoke to me.

They have those same books at the truck stop restaurant in Lusk, WY. Usually browse them coming and going to/from SD. Pretty humorous selection.

Here's today's pictures.

Took me a couple of minutes to figure out what this was. Appears to be a band saw.



Thought this bicycle looked cool.



There are flowers all along the main road here. Crazy amounts of them. Not sure how they look so good at this time of year but they appear to be very healthy.

Don't forget to pick up a 6-pack of Poligamy Porter.

One of my favorite t-shirts. "Bring some home to the wives"

That picture of the bike in the glass is a thallus really cool, good eye.

I doubt it. I don't think they could burrow into the rocks. Lol.
