Schools Out and We're Too Busy!


Things have been crazy since Cathy, and Jaimie got out of school. The guest room is being converted for Jess who will be here in less than a month. We got a call from the parent of a girl Jaimie met in 5th grade from South Korea. They wanted to know if Margaret could come for a visit (they are now living back in South Korea). So Margaret has been here for the last week. Here's Jaimie and Margaret on top of Mt Evans with a mysterious beast floating over their heads.

In between that, Jaimie has started driving lessons. She's learning in the truck since it is the only automatic we own, and so far she is refusing to learn how to drive a stick. Something about being tramatized by driving with the Mestdaghs during the Utah trip in their manual truck. Hmmmm.

I got out fly fishing for the first time in a while. Went up to Joe Wright reservoir near Camaron Pass with Steve Hiebert, and caught artic grayling. They aren't big but they do fight pretty well for their size. The coloration is awesome with the big blue spots on the dorsel fin.

New Shed


Well the new shed is pretty much finished with the exception of the door. The roof of our old tin shed caved in a couple of years ago during the most recent Snow Storm of the Century. This spring I resolved to tear the old one down, and put up a big and better one. The old one was 81/2 by 10 feet. The new one is 12x16, and full height with a full sized door (I got tired of scuffing my bald head on the dinky 5 1/2 foot tall door provided by the old one. Hopefully we can move some junk out of the garage and free up a little more room in there.
