yes mostly in glacier national park and a few in the bob marshall and great bear wilderness. about 25 to 75 miles from where i live.
ive only run across one wolverine in my life in the wild. that was in glacier on a hike up to a high mountain lake. he hung around the scree field for about a half hour looking for rodents i guess.

all about them

got killed early on in a tournament yesterday. had a,q and got a guy all in he had a, 7 and i lost.
very next hand the other half of my stack got in with a,j against a,t and lost that one. so i got an ice cream cone and went home first out.

at least i enjoyed the ice cream.

ouch

these guys i play with can show you a white blackbird.

fast tournament and they stick it in. so really hampers your ability to make plays.

well got fourth anyway in the local tournament. last hand was another bad beat where i flopped top two and he had an under pair and hit his trips on the river. these fast tournaments can be fun but frustrating for sure.

split 4 ways as it was that or they were closing. thats bar tournaments.
then got another 4th 3 outer did me in again.

played a little different strategy and it is working. making sure i win the coin flips when they happen is the key in fast moving tournaments.

If you figure out to make sure you win the coin flips, you need to write a book about it!

mack if havent learned how to win the coin flips you need to buy my book. buy a case of them and give them out and help your friends to prosperity.

it is irritating in the fast blind tournaments to have to move in with all kinds of hands hoping to win the blinds or the flip and hoping they dont have you dominated. thats the way it is nowadays and not so much fun especially if you have to drive a ways to get there and go out because you never seem to have more than about ten bb to play with after a few rounds.

i see in the tournaments way too many people just blinding themselves virtually out. as if they think they are going to get 20 pairs of aces or something and win that way. it aint gonna happen you have to play.

I see this all the time. I sometimes think these guys would be better off not looking at their cards and instead try to spot opportunities to play.

btw, that essay you wrote for the July mag is worth a million to the people who bother to read it. You have to get the money when the money's available -- they won't just mail it to you.

thanks mack

These are the types of players I play against; not available in all locations. Advanced players will note there are six players in the image below.

been out riding my motorcycle a lot lately. the weather has been nice and fun to ride.
harley softtail classic. nice old mans bike.

I'm ready for an old mans bike, but I think I want something a little lighter.

harley is an old mans bike. i also miss my sportster as being lighter and more nimble was much easier for around town but going for a ride on the open road the big bikes rule.

nothing was more fun than riding out around the desert in las vegas years back.

i still have a yamaha 350 and its plenty of fun and good getting around.

I've still got a yamaha 350 from the 70s that I like a lot. It's a 2 stroke and I've got the carbs off it now, but I'll be riding it around when the weather cools off a little this fall.

i had one of those also. carry an extra plug . i used to foul them all the time. at least my bike did. also got a small jet for my carb for the altitude. they sell them with sea level jets. like a 220 or something. i think i went to a 180.
make sure you only use non ethonal gas as the other stuff eats up your old rubber seals. and stabil in the gas. gas nowadays goes bad quickly and varnishes the carbs.

one thing i notice a lot is how even the better players seem to play street by street instead of looking forward in the hand. sure each new card changes the play of the hand but how you set up your original play of that hand is still in force. you just make the proper adjustments as conditions change which they do of course.

i love getting it in in the fast blind structure bar tournaments. other players hate my game especially on final tables where everyone is 15BB and below.
It seems I normally donk a player every tournament i play when i'm stealing the blinds and they call with their AK and i have 56s on the cutoff and I go on to hit a 5 and hold up. then i also get dealt a series of good hands and steal blinds and sometimes get called having them dominated.

sometimes however i get good hands like QQs or AJ 10BB deep and run into bigger pairs or AK and lose. didn't happen for awhile while i was playing and i was always finishing first or in the top 3 in the money.

i do wonder if these mtts are even profitable to play though.

i play similar to that. as long as you can stand losing with junk when you run into a big hand it is the way to go against the fast weak fields.
you do have to be careful when you have passive callers or you get called with weaker aces and things. against those fields you can and need to wait for better hands as your steal % goes way down.

Even though I live in the city, it is the more suburban part and we see a lot of deer. Like today.

Two fawns we had previously seen in our next door neighbor's yard were in our yard with the mother nowhere in sight. And we didn't see her at anytime. The fawns finally moved off with still no mother in sight.

Is that normal? Could the mother be dead and the fawns are on their own? If the mother is dead, are the fawns old enough to take care of themselves? If they are on their own, is there anything we can do to help them?

Thank you for your time.

fawns will not make it without the mother. you cant help them only make it worse. they have a slim chance by learning to forage on their own. if you help them they lose that. without mom a coyote or something will get them. or starve when winter hits and the food supply gets changed from summer.

many times she is out of sight. but when the fawns are very new then she is always close by unless something scares them and then they bed down and she moves off to draw away attention from them.

as the fawns get older like a month or so they wander around and she loses control over them to an extent. so they could easily be in the next yard or so from her.

Thanks. That educated us a lot.

got closer today. 5th with 2nd lowest stack. got trapped for a hand to go broke. but too short stacked to probably get away and only might have moved up one slot at best.
