A Beautiful Day in the Mountains

We woke up Monday morning to a very clear and cool 38 degrees with about a 10 mph wind making it feel much colder. The sweatshirts and jackets came out.

Mike & Janna's cabin is at the base of these mountains

The first item this morning was to fabricate a stronger mount for our satellite dish. The wind has been blowing causing us to lose a signal. Mike had some old directway satellite dishes and he gave me a bracket off of one of them. We then took a piece of 2” steel pipe and mounted it in between the bracket and our satellite dish. The mount looks the same but it’s much more stable and the wind doesn’t affect it.

Gina and I then went with Mike up in the Gallatin National Forest to move a shed for some of their friends. I went to help Mike and Gina went to take pictures of all the mountain views. Here are a few of her pictures.

These mountains are called "The Crazies"

We had to pick up the shed off of one trailer and put it on Mike’s trailer. This required the use of two skid steers. I have never operated one so I got a quick lesson and off I went. We got the shed moved pretty quick and off we went to delivery it.

This is scary, me on a Bobcat

While we were gone Janna had cooked homemade spaghetti. We walked over around 6:15 to eat. In addition to the spaghetti she had more sweet corn on the cob and a fresh salad she made from lettuce out of her garden. It all tasted great. Janna is such a great cook. We didn’t stay very long after dinner since she wanted to get a little more quilting done and we were a little tired. We thanked them for a wonderful dinner and said goodnight. After we got back home we watched a little TV then went to bed.

We are both up early this morning as we are driving to Billings today. We need to stock up on a few items. I hope no one is getting tired of the mountain pictures. Gina and I cannot seem to get enough of them as the views always change and we absolutely love the views.

We are having a great time and our travel plans are shaping up. We head to Yellowstone on Thursday for a few days then we are heading up to Canada to visit JB and Brenda. That’s our plans for now. Stay tuned as our adventure continues…


Gina & I hope everyone has a pleasant and wonderful day, enjoying what our Father has so graciously blessed us with.
