Fire In The Wire

I started mining 30 years ago and there are things,  as a miner, you leave behind.  Family and friends are on the top of the list !   My friend Trevor has lost his brother Bill to cancer and it hits home when you lose what is closest to you.  Bless Bill and the family.  Bill was a great guy.  I call Trevor “Digger”, this guy can dig test holes and look for gold,  a gold dog !   One thing on the list to do is put a little fire back in the wire !   We both love radios and plan to get the S/E Yukon LSB/USB back up and on line !   The old  CB radios have been in storage for a few years and it’s going to be fun to see if one can remember how to put it all back together !  Trevor and his wife Kim plan a trip back up north in the coming summer if things allow them.  Old Yukon-er  coming back to visit Yukon.  Magic.                   STAY TUNED  CQ CQ  DX

Time !

Wow where does the time go ?  Glaza was out taking pictures of the moon.  This is the first summer we have been around our home in the summer in 30 years  !   So you want to be a gold miner a !   I feel blessed to be alive and here for my family.

Fire Pit / Cooker

The fire pit worked great !  We cooked up dinner on it.  Not in the old frying pan you see there. There are two side walls and with the air holes at the top of the inside it keeps the smoke and fire in the middle and the smoke and fire goes straight up.  It works well for what wood you do put on the fire, it is a nice fire for cooking on.  The cooking screen is adjustable as is the pot hook on the top for your soup pot.  It was nice to sit around the fire with Glaza and Izzi.  Howard from next door came over and he cooked up his dinner too.   Very Cool MinerMan
