February 7, 2006
It rained last Tuesday, for the first time. It rained all night and we could hear the roof leaking into the attic. Nothing ever came through into the house. I guess it is time to climb up and do some patching! It rained off and on the next day, but it didn’t keep us inside much. We are still trying to clean up around the place. We would like to get some RV sites set up for our 5th Wheel and for company to come. There will be water and sewer (or dumping) there, but no electricity. We will have to use generators.
We went to Travis’s in Payson on Friday for the w
eekend. We go over some high mountains on the way. We were at over 7,000 feet. There was a lot of snow. Travis and family are doing good. Travis performed a minor surgery on his dad and took a “knot” (really it was a small cyst) off of his head close to the left temple. Terry said Dr. Howard smiled the whole time he was cutting on him! The fours boys are lots of fun. Payson is a pretty town.We got back to Wikieup to find all well, except Dutch has come down with a case of Shingles. He has been pretty sick but is on the mend.
We are still going back and forth with BLM and ADOT about the access to the old road. I’m not sure it will happen this year, but we haven’t given up yet. It has been cloudy yesterday and today, but still around 70 degrees.
We rode the motorcycle to town yesterday for the first time. It is pretty scary out there on the divided highway going 35 mph with these big trucks passing us at 65 mph. We do have out nifty new helmets, but I think we would need more than that to help us! I think we will stick to the desert roads!
Maybe we will ride up to Turtle Mountain sometime.

It nice that you guys are so close to Travis' family and can visit them. I am sure that Travis is glad to finally have family within 4 hours instead of 16. It sounds like Travis really liked oprerating on Dad, how would he like to do it on a newphew? JT is getting his tonsils out on Friday the 16 in Tooele, but he probably won't have to stay overnight if he does well. So keep us in your thoughts on that day. Also Scott and Jessica had their baby. He was a 35 weeker and was ventulated for 10 hours after his brith. They think that he asperated (where you breath in the first bowl). But he is off of it now and is on the mend. They hope to be able to bring him home sometime the end of next week if all goes well. He was 6lbs and 6oz so at least that was a plus. Talk to you guys later. Watch out for snakes!
Sounds like you guys are having lots of fun! If the roof can wait until we get there in March, Dan says he can help you fix it. We are very excited to see you and Boe says he can't wait to wear the cool fire flame helmut and go on a ride with grandpa. We are now official bloggers.
