I am home from Wyoming and visiting Lorie and the girls, at least that is the way it feels sometimes. I have been home since the 1st of June and will have to go back in a few days. To catch everyone up with what we are doing is the item to day. Lorie and the girls have been working very hard and the mudroom and the yard. By the way, it has been cooler this year than any other year I can remember. It has not gotten above 80 degrees yet, and usually we are well above 80 and into the 90s. Girls camp in Little Bear is usually very hot. This year the girls will be cold at Little Bear. It has also been very windy. The little apples on the trees appear to have been sandblasted: they are pitted as if it has hailed. It hasn't and hopefully we will get some fruit. The wind is blowing about 50 mph right now. It is pretty fierce. Nikki and the little girls are going to girls camp tomorrow and I hope the storm will blow through so they will have a nice day or two. 
Lorie and I went to Ticaboo last Thursday to do a pumptest. I needed an assistant and so she came with me. James Dayley came down last Monday to help me but when we arrived at the Uranium mill, they told us to come back as they were not ready for us. So James and I went gold prospecting in the Henry Mountains instead. We only had a couple of hours and all we had time to do was to stop and look at some old placer diggings. I will find a good place to placer so gold someday.
