Non-Typical Solutions

Just learned that my New Mexico boot heel buddy Ben passed away a couple weeks ago! 😢 Never met him in person only through CWT! RIP Ben!

Gotta keep a sense of humor up these days 🤣

Seriously.....fabric has been a hard to find item with all this mess.....very cool masks!!!!!

And to think at one time JC Penny had a sporting goods department......................this thread has been pretty funny honestly............we are what we eat and sometimes it just doesn't come out in the end the way we want it too................I am impressed with that shelf full of MH buckets of meals.......you know we'll be knocking when times get tough!!!

I got this one from one of my boys today!😂😂😂

Thank goodness for google between ppm and anthropogenic 😂

Pre 1950 I’m guessing it was a thermometer malfunction 😂

Exactly how do you and AOC measure ......... livestock methane emissions............in relation to greenhouse gas excess??? Seriously asking...............

Animas is a pretty small place in the middle of no where and we always rely on those special people that help us and support us! Coach Charlie Richardson passed away yesterday, I stole this memory from one of his many that he influenced! Whether you called Coach Richardson, Mr. Richardson, Charlie, Charles, Chuckie, or just Rich. He touched everyone of us that played for him. The greatest Animas Panther coach that ever lived-my mentor, my hero, my friend. I was a 13 year old maybe 4’5” when I started playing for this great man-he instilled my love for the game of basketball to which I never lost. So many memories as a player at AHS but also came and watched me play at WNMU. My 1st job interview they said for you played at Animas for Charles Richardson then you know to WIN! I believe he had a hand in me getting my first coaching job in 1984. I finally made it back home 1991 and got to coach with the man I had always admired. I was his assistant he was my assistant. I coached his kids he coached mine. We taught school together even shared a classroom. We even came out of retirement together. I was refing a volleyball game in 2016 he was in the stands I went and sit by him told I thought I was going back to coaching. I told him I wanted him for jr high and he said yes. We spent 3 more years together. Charles was the most unselfish, honorable man I know. It was never about his accomplishments but always about the kids. True coaching to the core I learned so much from him. I guess my greatest accomplishment was not the state titles we won together but just knowing he was proud of me and thought that I was a good coach too. What a legacy we lost in our valley yesterday no one will ever replace. Thanks for the 30+ years you spent in my life and all the other years you put in to all of the student/athletes at AHS, including my boys, my nephew, my nieces, and coming back to coach my Laikyn so she would know my hero too! To all the Richardson’s thank you for sharing your husband and dad with all of us. I love you all. Goodbye my ole friend I will never forget you. The family brought me a pile of old bleacher material, some old hardwood flooring, some horse shoe welding that Charlie Coach had welded, a bucket of collected junk and said, can you make him a casket!!! Charlie Coach coached in the Animas Valley for 40 years, lost his mom when he was 5 and his dad when he was 16. His first wife passed after 25 years of marriage and lost her life to cancer! One of the great characteristics Charlie Coach had was he never once used his losses as an excuse for trying every day to be a great example for the kids he taught and coached! I hope he can see from above that love and appreciation put his scraps together for what hopefully does the man the respect he deserves!!! I appreciate the opportunity to serve him this one last time!!!

The almost unbelievable stat is that the mastodon used to live way up north........then got covered with ice...............then................well................you know.................

That is very cool!!! Gangly looking bear!!!!

Needs to go where she is........wanted??? Not here in the USA............and especially not in a public office!!!

I was a sophomore in 75 when Vance Lee brought football to Animas! I probably weighed a heavy 100#! I didn’t play that first year, but did then my next two years! We were horrible playing a JV schedule mostly! All of our gear was used from another school that had purchased new equipment! Animas got on the charts when Billy Henson came to town! My little brother played for Billy, they were an execution well disciplined program for several years!!! Their winning streak got snapped by none other than Lordsburg our county rivals! 7-6 final score! My dad said it was because they spent too much time on ESPN😂

New pictures added!!!

Cool pictures....I would have to cut a shooting lane for that archery picture....... beautiful!!!!

On my bucket list........

Always love the way you get cowhide into your caskets....plus I need to take some interior lessons from you!!!! Looks really good, sorry for the loss in the family!

I'm kinda curious are they also hunting that massive herd in Nutrioso??? Last weekend there musta been 300+ in that pasture!

I know my buddy that guides is pretty beat up after the hunts all finish up, lots of hours out there but I know he enjoys it for the most part! I guess I wish I knew as much about where the animals are as they do but then again.......I don't spend as much time out there as they do

I dove into a couple of his antler hunting videos and while he did find some awesome antlers I couldn't understand all the rings......but hey he's good at finding antlers!!!!

It is kinda interesting the way different people approach hunting, I remember scouting 3A/3C from the day I knew we had tags.......spent a lot of time out there and just like everybody told me, they were not there come late hunt! Knowing that, we planned multiple options knowing that their pattern would change! I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of relocating bulls and putting a hunt on! Were they record class bulls.......not really, but it was a heck of a fun hunt and I wouldn't really want it any other way! Lots of solid information has been shared already on this thread! Good luck with your tag................

We used to sit on a boat on Roosevelt and listen to the cats during March Madness! Good times!!!

Why did I think this was gonna be about NoBull backing out on a cash in pocket bear guide? 🙃
