Sunday Pic of the Day

Got a big chore I've been putting off done today. Oak tree in mom's front yard died and was right next to her power line and driveway. Got my FIL to come over with the tractor to help trim the side and put some tension on the trunk while I cut (at least after he gave the kids a ride). All went well thank you for the advice @Dsnow9. Now I can go fishing tomorrow.20260221_123120.jpg20260221_123230.jpg20260221_123202.jpg20260328_165725.jpg20260328_165751.jpg20260328_172856.jpg20260328_172917.jpg
 
I've camped in some pretty cool spots out of a tent, but this is probably the best so far out of the truck camper. About 15 yards from a challenging drop-off. :D

While in Missoula for sports, I did the thing my family perpetually mocks me for and walked through the cemetery, taking pictures and googling names.
