Hay Kris,

I do appreciate your interest and hope to have the shell compleated before
first snow. If not I guess I'll be "lagging in" in the cold like I did in
the '80's. Some of us have to work for a living (I just love Wally*World)
and brushing season is comming soon. I got two trees to drop in town for
kiln wood and Danialson's Greenhouse wants the Blue Spruce greens for their
large outdoor Christmas wreaths. And of course I'll need to cut some Balsam,
Cedar, and White Pine greens for the wreaths people will be ordering from me.

Ya, looks like he is gona work out pretty good. Had him out and about off
the leash today and he is learning to come to my whistle, especially when a
treat is involved.

Thanks for the tip. I cleaned out the fire pit last spring and they don't
get a lot of fish around here.

It rained a lot here too and the late summer mushrooms started popping so I
added a bunch of shots to the U.P. Mushrooms album today. Got any pictures
of the fish in the yard? That would be cool!

Stay in there, G in da U.P.
