Man, we went to Loula's in Whitefish for breakfast Sunday - it was PACKED! Its the height of tourist season, and they have amazing food and homemade pie, and everybody knows it. We waited for a table, waited to order, then waited 45 minutes for our food but WOW it was good. Can't wait for Labor...

HAH, I think she needs the whole collection - I see a cow & girraffe in the background too...

I have hoarding grandparents, and to a small degree helped clear up one household. It has really instilled an "anti-clutter" mentality in me, and my brother. I have a fairly organized garage, that I park in, and there's work and storage space also. With my recent 1955 travel trailer project...

A cold beer! I love my get home from work & relax beer. I work 12 hour days, and get done either at 8:30 or 10 pm, my one beer helps me get ready for sleep time!

Yeah, what a weird reversal of June & July here, huh?! I was astonished we got a whole day of cloudy intermittent rain a few days ago, unheard of in July! Really helped the wildfire containment in Glacier Natl Park too.

My current money pit/obsession...er, hobby, is refurbishing the 1955 Aljoa travel trailer we got a few months ago. We made good progress on cutting out water damaged framing and rebuilding it, and running new electrical lines this weekend. Forward progress!

Steve, we've been having tons of goldfinch here too this summer! Its one bird I've learned to ID by call, since when they're bouncing up and down like crazy they're also chirping like crazy! Cute things :)

I'd be more worried about new, nonstick coatings than rust. Or aluminum cookware, that's a no go for me.

Nice! I had to look up your owl, he's a Barred Owl. Great pics!

Hah! We just happened to buy one at our local Costco, I had never heard of one before that. We cooked on it on the stovetop once...we have a glass cooktop. But it was really messy, so now we just use it for the grill. It really depends on the type of food you're cooking, how much salt flavor it...

Hmmm, yeah I would think so if you put them on right when you light the charcoal, so they warm up slow. Lots of charcoal, i think the blocks are supposed to get really hot.

Yes, we've eaten broccoli on the grill on our salt block a lot this summer! Those salt blocks are fun, and are yummy for veggies. The one downside is you're supposed to warm them slowly, so 10 min on low, 10 min on med, 10 on high means 30 minutes planning ahead of time. Asparagus is DELICIOUS...

Get several motion game cameras set up.

Heading to work now, you just made me feel SO much better about how my day is going to go (xraying people with sawed off fingers and broken hips and chest pain is 10x better than people getting panties in a bunch over DOG BOW COLOR!!!).

Well geez you better get shoveling and wheelbarrowing and spreading, wouldn't want to give the lil old lady an aneurysm!!

Hah, the Dew Drop Inn name is already taken, by a redneck bar here in Montana ;)

Considering how atropine affects your heart I wouldn't feel comfortable using this as a home remedy. Sniffles are just not that big of a deal to me to risk it! Beautiful plant though.

Adorable! And so innocent. How can you think he'll eat your tulips?!

Yes we've been THOROUGHLY cooked in NW MT. Saturday our deck thermometer recorded 108 as the high, and Sunday it got to 112. We've had 2 small a/c units cranking constantly for 3 days, keeping it around 75 in our bedroom upstairs and 70 downstairs in the guest rooms. Today we've got cloud cover...

I'm lucky to live in Montana - its such an anomaly in so many things. Montana kids are OUTSIDE (the majority anyway). Maybe not the whole time its light out (5 am til 10:30 right now!) but doing tons of active stuff. Lots of parents hike, bike, fish, raft, boat, ski with their kids. DH said...
