I like taking the grand kids. My grand daughter had me laughing last year. Once I showed her she could eat the berries straight off the bush, her ratio was something like 1 berry in the bucket - 5 berries in her mouth.

IMHO thunderstorms in Montana are just so very cool to watch and listen to. I still remember our ferry/road trip from here to Iowa in June 2002. We sat in a rest area and watched the lightning and listened to the thunder for 30 or 45 mins. So impressive ... gave me a real understanding of what they mean by "Big Sky Country." Yeah, I hope no fires too.

Hope you find your mooses. Stay safe out there kid.

EDIT: I labelled all the different mounts bolts, etc in separate ziploc bags for exactly that reason...gotta keep the "sometimers" at bay some how. Take care and have fun.

 

I forget half the stuff I'm supposed to do in my personal life... I blame it on work If I was marrying type I'm sure I would of been divorced 3-4 times by now.

Woot! I love some berries

We were picking them 3 weeks ago and they were about a week early. You can drive the trails and pick them from the truck because they are so narrow this time of year. Every time we stopped at a beach when we were kayaking I was grabbing handfulls and eating them. Everyone else was looking at me like I was crazy and asking me if they were poisonous

Perfectly safe....just wild...not the genetically modified ones people are used to seeing at the grocery store

 

Working on the Taco and lawn equipment. Just slept in, made a run to Walmart for oil, and drinking me coffee now. Once me coffees done Ill hit the backyard. Need to finish the DS rear leaf springs and shackle flip.

 

Yeah, we were watching from some distance away ... I wouldn't have wanted to be under it.

OK ... that reminds me of a quick story. Last August we took Kristi's uncle and aunt hiking Russian Lakes trail to the viewing plaform. Came across a black bear sleeping about 40 feet up a tree just off the trail. I was standing on the trail keeping an eye on our surroundings while the other three took pictures from different vantage points around the tree. The black bear was pretty chill and not showing any signs of agression or coming down out of the tree at all. A guy, his wife, small daughter (about 5 yrs), and their dog come up the trail. When they get about 30 yards away, I hear his side arm clear it's holster (distinctive sound when you've worked around weapons in a close environment like I did in different assignments), he got my full attention until they passed and got on down the trail. The whole time I was thinking "what is this guy's problem, this is no where near a threatening situation that calls for drawing a weapon." I was more concerned about that guy getting nervous with a loaded gun in his hand than I was about the bear."
Human idiots out in the wild are much more dangerous than the wildlife.

Morning Boydo, Brandan.

 

Yep, that's them, yummie ... what makes the pics be so huge sometimes?

 

Depends on where you grab them from.

I just grabbed that from google images. Looked for the species native to here, copied, clicked "insert image", pasted the image addy, and posted.
