If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy!

We are up in Bozeman. Got a lot done on the bathroom and Ed came through with some solid plumbing work for us. Sounds like he is going to do a bit of electrical too. With any luck, the bathroom will be functioning again by this time next week. I was hoping to spend the week up here continuing to work, but alas my research calls. Dingmans will have to work without me next weekend, though I am not sure we could all fit into the house cuz it is pretty small.

We stopped into one of the two establishments that serve beer within walking distance from the house. We told the bartender that we had just bought a house down the street. He needed little more description that the color and that it needed some work--particularly a pass or two with a lawn mower. I am sure the neighbors are not enjoying the current height of the grass and everything else, but it will be better next year. In short, I do not find myself discouraged by the work that needs doin'. Rather, I am excited by the prospect and knowledge that the two houses next to ours are selling for at least $40k more than we paid.

Sandy is off to VT to find a place--we couldn't be more excited for him! Congrats to the new UT Crit Champ--Turbo. Beckett and the Sox are still getting it done after a bit of a slump. Life is good and would only be better if I had spent some time on the river after driving through one of the biggest Salmon fly hatches I have ever seen...
