21st - 34 degrees

Here are some pictures of Brandon and Fred working on the form for the bridge. We are hoping to have it done before company starts coming in June.

21st- fire

Yesterday afternoon there was a pretty big fire in a neighboring County. York VFD and others were paged to assist. I met one of our trucks near Helena and we drove the 30 miles to the fire.

It was a controlled burn that got out of control when the wind started blowing hard. By the time we got there, the fire was under control but still being put out. A warehouse and some other buildings had burned down.

The truck we brought is used to haul water.

A fold-a-tank was placed next to an engine and we dumped water into that. The engine then pumped water from the tank to another engine which was putting out the fire.

I took some pictures while we were waiting for the truck in front of ours to dump.

18th - high about 65

Warm weather this weekend. I think it got up over 70 yesterday.

Brandon learned how to use the GPS. Here he is on a "scavenger hunt" finding the 2 flags and the deer antler.




He also has been having fun shooting his bow.
