I helped Jon Tremelan put up a small log cabin after I got to Show Low.
Buck Owens, Tony, Jon, Andy & I worked the weekend and got most of the logs up. We had to use a crane to get the highest ones. Those 16ft by 8 inch logs are heavy.
Andy Parmlee was our supervisor.
Tony, Jon and I worked another week putting the rafters and roof on and the cabin really looks nice.
We had our first poker game and dinner inside shortly after it was finished. [Check out the poker table.]
The Los Amigos, ( Judy, Patricia, Jon & I) cooked our second annual Mothers day breakfast with 24 people there. Buck Owens gave each of the ladies a red rose.
Marlene had a special Sunday happy hour at her place celebrating Norwegian Independence Day with a special treat that she cooked up. Sweet Almond Treat.
A day at the casino.
When I wasn't needed any more at the cabin, I started working on the 1 1/4 acre lot that I bought next door to Los Amigos. I flagged the driveway & RV pads and then hired a tractor to spread 11 loads of cinders. After the driveway was in , I started trimming the Juniper bushes. I have 11 piles of brush waiting to be burned when I get back from my trip.
Patricia's little Dachshound walks with me every morning at 6:00. She sniffs out all the jack rabbits.
Marty O. was the first to visit and park on my lot.
Here's Jon snoozing on his newly completed porch.
I have been practicing how to load my bike for the trip and this morning I am finished except for last minute items.
This is a night shot of my rig with the 12volt rope lights that Dale Ann bought me for Christmas.
