18th, 36 degress, icy

We went to Alabama last weekend for Brandon's birthday. Here are some pictures
Here is Brandon at his basketball game. He scored 2 points.
Here he is holding his pinewood derby car Friday night before the big race.
Standing in front of Deda, MeMaw, and PawPaw's pond. Brandon's 8th birthday party.
Brandon came in 6th place out of about 100 racers in the pinewood derby. He is now eligible to race in the regionals. He will be in Montana at the time so hopefully he will have someone to race it for him.

3rd- sunny and 30

I posted the video of the crane accident. Click on the link to see it: CRANE





This picture was from a couple of weeks ago- Finishing up the binding on the guitar.














Sanding and lacquer finish.















I was finally able to install the tuners today.

















The neck is made of mahogany.















Here is what it looks like so far. I still have to permanently attach the neck to the body and install the bridge, nut, saddle and strings.

1st- snow


Got about 8 inches of snow over the last couple of days.












































Here are some pictures of a crane that tipped over and then fell off of a bridge yesterday in Billings.

It was above, on the right side of the picture.

They were trying to lift a concrete beam at the time.





Luckily, no one was hurt.
