8 FOOT BT 12 FOOT---------- WATER, & ELECTRIC INCLUDED. I BUILT THIS IN BETWEEN RAIN, WIND, AND COLD DAYS. NOW FINISHED IT HAS GREAN BEANS, BROCCOLI, LOTS OF PEPPERS, TOMATO'S, CUCUMBERS, AND SWEAT PEAS. SO FAR IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING AND STAYS WARM DURING COLD DAYS. IT IS NOW JUNE 10TH AND WE HAVE NOT SEEN A DAY OVER 75 , SO I DON'T KNOW HOW IT WILL WORK IF WE GET HOT DAYS.
I HAVE AN ATTIC FAN INSTALLED AND SET TO TURN ON AT 90 DEGREES. SO FAR IT RUNS A LOT DURING THE DAY. TIME WILL TELL BUT I EXPECT TOMATOES BEFORE JULY 4TH.

CIGAR STORE INDIAN

WOUNDED FINGER

THIS IS MY VERSION OF A CIGAR STORE INDIAN. CARVED IN FEBUARY 2011 FROM A 3 FOOT WALNUT LOG. I NAMED HIM "WOUNDED FINGER" DUE TO THE FACT THAT WHILE I WAS REMOVING A LOT OF WOOD FROM HIS LEGS MY GRINDER BUCKED AND CUT MY LEFT FINGER TO THE TENDON, TOOK A GOUGE OUT OF MY RIGHT ARM, AND TORE MY SHIRT. AFTER A FEW STITCHES, BANDAGES, AND A NEW SHIRT, I WAS GOOD TO GO. I THEN FINISHED HIM WITH NO MORE INJURIES.

Dt. Willie Woodcock

I started this carving in August of 2010 and then wrecked on my bike. After surgery and healing I went back to this project and finished in January of 2011

I gave him the handle of Dr Willie Woodcock and here is his story. He is a historic fictional character.

A Confederate Medic during the Civil War and discharged in 1864, he migrated to the Montana Territory practicing in and around the newly found gold fields of Bannock and Virginia City. Most of his patients died, and with little success as a doctor, he turned to crime; stealing gold from prospectors and killing them if necessary. His taste in expensive clothes, a beautiful mount, and money flashed in the local brothels, gave him away to the Vigilantes of Virginia City, Montana. Caught, tried, convicted and hung by the Vigilantes, he was last of their 21 convictions before the Virginia City Vigilantes were dismantled.

Like New !!!!!!!

My bike has been repaired and is ready for spring. Picture taken at the Yellowstone Harley Dealership with Service Manger "Dan" I road it home and took the longest way I could find. I also have a new "crash helmet" My old one was broken.

PICTURES OF OUR HARLEY WRECK

HERE ARE PICTURS OF OUR HARLEY WRECK ON RT. 32 BETWEEN DRIGGS ID. & ASHTON ID. I MADE A TWO POINT LANDING ON MY HELMENT & RIGHT SHOLDER, GIVING ME A CONCUSSION AND BROKEN COLLAR BONE, ALONG WITH BROKEN RIGHT THUMB & MIDDLE FINGER.

JERRI BROKE HER LEFT WRIST AND MASSIVE BRUISING ON HER RIGHT HIP. JERRI HAD SURGERY ON HER WRIST WHICH INCLUDED METAL PLATE AND SCREWS . I HAD SURGERY A WEEK LATER ON MY THUMB AND COLLAR BONE. BOTH TOOK METAL SCREWS. 6 IN MY COLLAR AND ONE IN MY THUMB.

ON SEPT. 20TH I HAD MY STICHES TAKEN OUT AND TOLD I AM ON THE MEND. JERRI HAD HER STICHES OUT EARLIER AND IS ALSO DOING FINE. SHE IS SORE WHICH IF YOU SAW HER BRUISING YOU WOULD WOUNDER HOW SHE KEPT FROM BREAKING A HIP. I WAS KNOCKED UNCONCIOUS AND OUT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. WHEN I CAME TO THE COPS WERE THERE. AS I FOUND OUT JERRY WAS OK, I ASKED THE OFFICER TO RETRIEVE MY CAMERA AND TAKE PICTURES FOR ME. DAMAGES TO THE BIKE AND CLOTHING CAME TO ABOUT $5500.00. NOTHING THAT CAN'T BE REPLACED. WE SHOULD BE BACK TO NORMAL BY THANKSGIVING.

I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE THINKING. YES, I WILL BE BACK ON MY BIKE NEXT SPRING OR SOONER IF WEATHER PERMITS. AND YES I WILL NEVER TAKE A RIDE WITHOUT MY HELMENT. IT SAVED MY HEAD, OUR LEATHERS SAVED OUR SKIN AND GOD SAVED OUR LIVES.

NEW WELCOME

I BUILT THIS WELCOME SIGN FROM REDWOOD. IT IS FRAMING STAINED GLASS THAT I PICKED UP FROM ONE OF MY WOOD SHOP CUSTOMERS. SHE NO LONGER WANTED TO STORE THE GLASS AND SOLD IT TO ME. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A NICE ADDITION TO OUR PATTIO AND BACK YARD
