Copper gets a trim.

Last weekend Shyla and I decided Copper needed a little trim. Get rid of the winter hair, so we bought some clippers and  tried to trim her. We trimmed most of her main body but she was doing so well I hated to turn a good experience into a bad one so decided to make an appointment to have her finished up when I got home. Here is a before picture.

Still Snowing!!

The snow hasn't let up yet. Here's a video I just took.

IT'S SNOWING!!!!

I thought we were supposed to be getting April showers!! This is what we got up this morning to. When we went to bed last night we heard thunder of all things so we didn't expect this!!

The Garage has been busy this past week.

This is the outboard motor Dad brought back with him from Oregon. It's a 1972 Evenrude 9 1/2 hp. Dave is fixing it up a bit and has enjoyed doing it. The parts he found for it are the original parts. They came from Seattle Wa.
