Bambi

Last week we took our first camping trip of the year. I saw this fawn along the south fork of the boise river on Sunday and was lucky enough to get this picture. We saw a lot of fawns over the weekend but none of the others were this close. All in all it was a great trip and we had an excellent time. 

Winter Maintenance II

If the frame bent once, of course, it can bend again. Adding a section of  4"x4" steel tubing should strengthen the frame enough to keep it straight in the future. We wanted to avoid weakening the frame by welding on it so we decided to clamp the tubing to the frame. However, bolting the along the length of the tubing would not allow for travel of the wheels when raising and lowering. in the end we settled for clamping the tubing on the ends and welding in the center, above the axle. Fingers crossed. 

Winter Maintenance

Last month while making a few repairs to this disk we discovered the frame was bent. Here we are straightening the frame using a house jack and a heavy duty log chain.

Good Night

Amazing what a temperature inversion and little smog can do for a sunset.
