Day 249

Saturday, September 8, 2018

I drive to Kalispell for Avis on Wednesday.  All the smoke missing from Glacier Park on the East side is here on the west side.  That is a new fire on the left, I think, but in the distance you can see the smoke from the fire on Lake McDonald. Parts of the drive back […]

Day 248

Saturday, September 8, 2018

I drove for Avis on Wednesday up to the Kalispell Airport.  There is a new bridge being built in Hungry Horse. None of us could remember when it started.  But it was at least two years ago they began cutting trees along the highway. I hope they manage to finish it soon… ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! […]

Day 247

Saturday, September 8, 2018

I drove for Avis on Wednesday…Glacier National Park was as clear as it has been in over a month!  Most of the forest fire smoke has blown away.  On this side. ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 235

Tuesday, August 21, 2018

There is a good reason I don’t like to edit photos after 10pm.  Apparently I shouldn’t build stuff after dinner, either. We finished up about 11:30pm after working most of the day it got to 102F in Kalispell.  We broke for dinner at Famous Dave’s..and came back and put the bed board base section on […]

Day 234

Tuesday, August 21, 2018

More trailer building! The master cutter at work!  We kept coming up with stuff that fit and was straight or an actual 90 degrees.  That worried us a lot. The cargo portion nearing completion. Somewhat dubious looks…{!-{P Fitting the tent/sleeping compartment on top of the cargo section. And no, it isn’t a coffin. ~Curtis in […]

Day 232

Tuesday, August 21, 2018

Another great change at Big Mountain (whoops!  Whitefish Mountain Resort…) is the summer activities. The Zipline that the GrandPop went on is one of them.  Here are a couple more: This is called “Strider”.  It is a motocross course…for little kids.  They ride bikes without pedals (see the closeup photo) and just push around the […]

Day 231

Tuesday, August 21, 2018

The real purpose of my trip to Kalispell, besides the Dailylife Grandpop’s 93 Birthday, was to build a camper trailer to pull behind my 1995 Goldwing.  My old trailer sacrificed a lot of parts for this! ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 230

Tuesday, August 21, 2018

From my recent trip to the Dailylife Grandfolks: Naptime!  Okay, my niece’s dog is awake.  For the photo.  He left me a present in the night, too.  No, not quite that…a sock he had eaten and barfed up just for me.  Left it in front of the bedroom door where I was sure to, errr, […]
