I took a day off yesterday and went fishing with my cousin and another friend, Jerry. We went to Gate to the Mountains. We caught a few trout and three walleyes. The sheep you see here were 50 feet from the boat. They never quit eating.

We also saw about a dozen eagles and several deer. Below is a picture of the Gate.

This body of water is a reservoir on the Missouri River.

Sixth round completed August 14th, 2009

I finished the sixth round on Friday the 14th, and peeled the four logs for the seventh round with the help of my brother Jerry. On the 15th, my cousin Jim and I dug the holes for the 16 footings that will support the deck. On Monday, I will build the forms for the footings and prepare for pouring them this week. The road builder showed up on Saturday and started to build the driveway. He will be back tomorrow the 17th, to work on it. We are going to look for another source of better logs to install once I get above the windows and doors and need full length logs again; less knots, less taper, and straighter.
