A Miner Is Always On The Move

With September flying by its there ! The looking over our shoulder for that snow ! -3c Over nights its just when ! There was a time I would push threw it and keep going. Older now I like to be on the move and get thing done at a slower pace. Enjoy every last day I have to run wild in the McDame Creek Valley, 30 years here and it seems like yesterday ! 

Miss Busy Izzi

Dogs With Jobs ! Izzi and I are a team she is my eyes ears and nose ! With bears a big as cars and move like a ghost well if you had your head down, Boom your gone ! Packed off into the woods to never to be seen again ! Wild to think your just a snack before the big dinner ! Izzi tells me Miner Man we have a big stinky one coming lets get out of his or hers way and let things roll on through ! Fall and if we can not see the Mt.s for bad weather it will drive down the animals, they can not see as well ! With the bad fires the last few years they need all the help they can get. Room To Move !

Fire Wood On A Raining Day

Was up and rolling around this morning, coffee and wood in the fire. Went to the wood box and it looked like it was going down pretty good. It had rain all night and cool out, I put on a load of laundry and banged it out and strung it all over the laundry room to dry ! More coffee, even Izzi is liking the wood heat on this cool morning. The rain got a bit lighter so went over the saw and out Izzi and I went and cut a load of standing dry wood. Dry wet gear out and keep us warm. Good one Miner Man

A Time Out

Miner Man just had a week of what I call a time out ? We are all running so hard, on a time line, or pay the next set of bills and work all year to take time to travel to some far away place to take a time out ! Glaza and I love this place so its a time out right here ! I am back to work for a push to the end, ore pad is full. We are set to sluice. I had to do a little work today to set up my day tomorrow.
