      • Pitch
        10/28/06
        Today Joe and I went for a short bike ride. Afterwards Pat and Nancy taught us how to play Pitch. It was a fun card game once we figured out what we were doing. It's a team game. I was on Nancy's team. We won two of the three games. :)

        The site we're working on right now is called Bitterroot View. It has a beautiful view of Bitterroot Lake. Many mornings there is fog covering the lake that eventually burns away (when it's a nice day). Yesterday morning there was about an inch of snow on the ground, but that melted by

        10/19/06
        Well, I've basically been keeping up. I stayed late one day last week, but Pat has to load trucks early in the morning so he has time to work on my piles of logs before we (the crew) get there. This week has been going fairly well.

        The Hanley's have two cows. It was really nice out on Saturday so I went out with my camera to find them and get some pictures. Once they saw me out there they came right up to me then started following me when I was leaving. Before I started the logging I fed the cows in the evening for Pat

        10/09/06
        I had my first day working alone without the retired delimber operator there to help me with problems or to catch up when there's a big pile of logs. It went really well. I stayed caught up and I didn't have too many problems. The hardest thing to tell sometimes is if a log is rotten an

      • Long Weekend Off
        10/01/06
        Well, we finished the job we were at for the last month. On Thursday and on Friday we moved most of the equipment and all of camp (the trailers) out. We had to walk the heavy machinery out to a gate which took about 1.5 hours where it is picked up and driven to our next job. So, we get Monday off
