Thanks for the pictures, wish we were there too. I spent the day helping to engineer the upper cabinet installations. Seems our wall and sofit are not straight nor to the proper dmensions.
Today is texturing the walls where things didn't fit and painting. Monday is the measuring day for the counter top and Tuesday and Wednesday are hopefully going to finish the cabinets. Thursday will be installing door/drawer handles and the microwave. Friday who knows what evil lurks in this house but I'll bet it is plumbing. :'( Another 2 to 3 weeks of this is left!!

Hi Jim,
We knew you were really busy so didn't bother you when we had to take the truck to Bozeman for work. I did contact Steve & Jodie. They were on the road and will be busy until September. Hoping we all can get together sometime before we leave. Starting this week Bill and I will have one day a week off at the same time.
I'm sure the kitchen is taking a lot of your time. It will be worth it when done but painful during the process.

Sheila and I had a great time visiting with Bill & Jolene and Jim & Pat. We had a chance to have lunch with Bill & Jolene and dinner with Jim & Pat. We want to express a special thanks to Bill for being our host AND for the pancake breakfast. I still remember the one in Massachusetts 10 years ago!
We hope to make it back in the fall when it is a little less crowded.
We are in Missoula tonight on our way to Glacier National Park (West side first).

Jim,
We are beginning to see some open times while we wait for things to happen, a couple of days next week may be one of those times. Let us know about things there and maybe we can get up there on a day trip if we are in a waiting period.
Pat's first surgery is now scheduled for Sept. 21, she has a physical before that but I don't recall when but it is in early Sept about 2 weeks before surgery. I will have a few exams over the time but they are all one day things. I hope to be able to go to altitude again so will have the pulmonary testing to see if some of the exercising has helped. Hope, Hope!!! If not, will have to see about short term O2 use like for the Beartooth Hwy to Cody etc. I gave out at about 9,000' on the last try.

Jim: I thought that place pretty well shut down after Labor Day. We'll see what develops. I'm not sure I can cover everything I want to in Colorado during that time. Heck, you might think about heading our way if it gets cold. We almost got snowed in there one year. Got lots of snow right after Labor Day.

Ron,
This is the other Jim in MT. Snow in Yellowstone is any time, summer, fall, spring and especially winter. September is one of the best times to visit. Fewer people, the animals are more available etc., etc. Here in the Gallatin Valley, August is the only month without snow recorded in the valley. There has been snow on the local mountains just not in the valley, i.e., below 6,000'

Just be careful out there, I know it's a big park. http://www.onenewspage.com/news/World/20100808/13851386/Ariz-escapees-believed-to-be-in-Yellowstone-area.htm

Great being able to show off our park and to flip some pancakes for friends, it has been awhile.
Sept is great here, nd yes real good possibility for snow, you do realize the snow on Sept 11, 1988 is what finally put out the big fires that year.
The latest news of the escapees coming in is weird, didn;t realize criminals were such nature lovers. We are being more cautious.

Ron,
We can't leave here until 16 October. Probably will see snow but it shouldn't last long. We'll be headed south to AZ after that and then head east to Florida. Want to be back by mid December. Everyone says September is the best month here.

I play in town on Weds night, coffee house close to the Grizzly. Bluegrass, country, folk, old rock.
Dates work pretty well for us. (speaking for Jim & Pat)
