Other Activities...25º cloudy/sunny

 With everything put to bed for the winter, Rusty has gone looking for other things to occupy his time...His latest project is making "slabs" out of a dead cottonwood tree, located in our meadow...He has always loved anything mechanical, repairing or just taking apart and putting back together to see if it will start/run...He brought old chainsaws home from Bend, so has been working on them off and on in his spare time.

He had spent several days in the meadow before Bobi and Ace arrived and Ace just begged to go with him, not that he was much help, but company is always good.

after all their hard work.

Does anyone have a use for cottonwood slabs as we have more dead cottonwoods to make slabs...We have been told they make good decking for wood trailers...Let me know and I will give you Rusty's phone number...Hugs To All...OWAV:)
