We use the Quads alot. We've takin Rick and George out as well as kelly fishing. Jason and I use them for hunting. The other morning I saw the most cool red fox, with a rabit in his mouth. Mom and dad are recovering from their surgeries and still hurt but doingbetter. Uncle Leo passed away. The funeral was in dayton and it was like a big reunion w/ all the cousins. I got a farmeral tractor and plan to have hay rides soon, so all you HON-YAAKERS tell your parents you want to go see papa real soon

fall

2009-10-04T12:50:00.000-07:00

I spend most of my time helping. I spend time at my cousin Scot Emery with his house, Caid Richmond with his remodel A house in Jerome for my brother Dallas. I've been hunting alot and so far the deer dont seem to be in any danger. The temple wont let people who are divorced work there which surprises me and bugs me but I guess I must be submissive. So the lord has called me on a mission for the next 2 yrs and it will give me an op. to serve. Montana bought a house in Provo so I'll be able to help him too. Look what Cinnabun woke up to, so we made a snow man for the grand kids. Love and miss u all and I hope to see u for HALLOWEEN. Love grand pa

Mel and Montana and the boys came to visit, so we went to the fair in Filer. we really had a great time. Jason, Jen, Cole and the baby went with us. There was so much to do and brought back such memories. I haven't been there for 37 years. So it was a lot of fun for me.

What I'm doing in OR

2008-12-31T14:34:00.000-08:00

Some people are wondering what Im doing in Or. Because of the economy being tough all around, work has been slow AZ. My brother Dallas had some projects in Or., so Randee and I thought it would be best for us to keep busy by me going there. It sometimes get tough but we still feel it,s what is best for us at this time. I really miss my grandkids and sometimes my kids. We really have had a great time when we get together. We're also greatful for Dallas and Jodie for helping us so much at this time. these pictures are of the project and motorhome. I go out to Grants Pass on weekends to my brother's and spend the weekends with them. Also with the new year coming in, it is a reminder, that Randee will be married 30 years on the 27th of Jan. I really don't understand how she put up with me so long!!!!!!!!!!!!

Redwoods and Steelhead Fishing Trip

2008-12-31T14:05:00.000-08:00

Dallas, Austin, Ron, and I went Steelhead fishing in Northern Ca. at the mouth of the Kalamoth River. Along the way we went thru part of the Redwood forest, and saw some of the most beautiful country I've ever seen. Trivia ???? How many tooth picks do you think I can make out out of this Redwood? Austin was the only one who caught a fish but the trip was well worth it. Dallas 's wife Jodie on a previous trip caught a 52 lb. Steelhead and made it to the record books. This made everyone mad, so we didnt invite her to come along. Ck. out the River Dog!!!!!

Bigfoot's Home

2008-12-28T15:04:00.000-08:00

This is the only Gov built trap for big foot. It's located at the Applegate lake at southern Or border. It was buit in 1974 and rebuilt later on. There is a trail on Collins Mt. on the west side of the lake. While on the trail, I heard a noise, it wasnt bigfoot but was a bear. If ever you should go, take alot of bug spray cause bigfoot doesn't bath and draws alot of flies. I took some pictures for my grand kids. I'm showing them the trail, his house,(the trap) and his crap on the bridge. ( I think I just missed him cause it was still steamy.
