Work Last Thursday 
Sunday, November 19, 2006, 11:20 AM - Work
Last Thursday we had a nice mess in the cable that goes down the mountain. Pat got to try to straighten it out, which didn't go so well. They ended up having to unroll the entire drum of cable.
We have gotten some snow up at the job, but it hasn't been staying very long.

The Cats

The house has two cats. They stay outside most of the year, but now they're inside since it's getting chilly out. The cats were named after the couple that gave Pat and Nancy them. They can be really annoying. They like attention.

The is Cleo and Joe. Joe wasn't expecting his picture to be taken right then

The is Brad. She drools.

The House 
Tuesday, November 7, 2006, 08:34 PM - Friends/Family
I thought I would take some pictures of the house and where the RV is. Notice the storm clouds.... yeah,, we've been very rainy here the last couple days. We haven't even had the logging trucks come up to the new site yet because the road is very slick and muddy from all the rain.

The house (yes, the mailbox is a cow, unfortunately it lost its head).

The RV is parked behind the house by Pat and Nancy's fancier RV.

New Job Site 
Friday, November 3, 2006, 07:10 PM - Work
Today we spent the day moving the last three machines (the yarder, delimber, and loader) to the next job site. It is part of the same job, but it's about 2 miles from where we were. Yesterday, one of the guys spent the day walking the clipper throught the 'goat trail' we drive through every morning (its just wide enough in parts for the pickups) and he made the road wide enough for the 12 foot tracks of the yarder. The road was really rocky and we had to park one of the pickups at the end of it to prevent any hunters from meeting us on the road and freaking out. (hunting season started Oct. 22 here)
Everything went smoothly and we're all ready to start hooking on Monday. :)

Pitch 
Saturday, October 28, 2006, 07:38 PM - Friends/Family
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. :)
