10 point White Tail Buck

Fred left early Friday morning to go down to the West Yellowstone area to hunt elk. He came home this afternoon and after about 20 minutes hunting in the back field he shot this buck.

November 17th

Fred was one of 160 recipients of the The Governor's Award for Excellence in Performance.  He received this for his work on the Bailey Bridge in Livingston, MT.

Our back porch.  This will eventually be screened in so we can sit out and enjoy the sound of the creek. It will also be painted to match the house.

Fred went hunting near West Yellowstone over the weekend and took this picture of Tony.

Trick or Treater! - Rainy and 55

We had a trick or treater last Thursday night. We used to keep garbage in this shed until a bear got in a few weeks ago. Now, there is just some paper/cardboard but the bear must have decided to check it out again as he was passing through. Should be hibernating soon but the warm weather is keeping them out late while there isn't much food around for them. He was easily scared away. (This shed will be torn down once the garage is done).

The house is still coming along. Got all of the chinking done on the logs. Still have to put some trim around the windows, roofing on the porch, siding on the addition, gutters, plus a few small things and the garage. We may have someone else frame the garage.
