Wood Hauling

As you can see "Red Eye Logging" is still in good working order, well somewhat?

Wood for winter

 

Today I had company at my new home.. It was my best friends and my God Daughter.. What a great way to start the holiday season.. I love it when they come by.

Jim, Ray & Leah

Yep, it's a Rose between two Thorns..

I just love this Photo... Dog and Buddy!

Meet Cisco....

Wolf Tracks

I thought you might like to see a couple pics of what I have been up to recently. One is a photo of a dog sled race I worked on. It was a fun weekend. The other is of a wolf track that I followed today. My neighbor saw a wolf this morning and he called to ask if I wanted to help him track it. Turned out to be three or four wolves and they came from around our way and moved south across the highway B. They were very close to our place. I'll have to keep an eye on Cisco.
Also came across coyote tracks, much smaller but still distinctive. I hope all is well with you and that you are both enjoying the warm while I am having a great time in the cold.

Christmas 2008

My Buddy Jim did it yet again...  He managed to bring his buck home from the bait pail (on it's own power & not leaking). He didn't even have ask me to help track this time. As you can see, Jim fed him an apple this year instead of the usual 30-30 woops!

Hey all,
Here's a picture of three Okra's on Angel Island in San Francisco Bay. It was a nice five mile hike around the island and the weather was great. Had great food, saw interesting stuff and enjoyed seeing Teresa again while in California

 

My friend is gone. Spook and I miss him already. We plan to bury him in a favorite grouse cover tomorrow.  I know many of you liked that dog near as much as I did. Just thought you’d want to know.
