Guys I had an experience I wouldn't wish on another.The family went to the lake this evening for good times by all .My 5 year boy was playing in the water and tried to swim to a close by island about 100 feet away,he can't swim. I pulled his lifeless blue body from the water and preformed CPR,he coughed and spit and puked then cried for mom.He was in my sight and 20 or so feet in the water playing with friends.I turned my back for 1-2 minutes,I have no words to describe how it felt.He has no memory of what happened,it will stay with me to the grave.

Good to hear that your boy is ok Tony.

My family was going to go up to the Salmon Glacier today, but a bunch of people told us that the road from Hyder was closed due to a fire.

Well, I gave the ford a workout yesterday. Three horses in the trailer climbing a narrow little logging road. 4low 1st gear part of the way up with just barly anough traction. The way down was all in 4low as well, but for breaking!

LOLOL Dead Ford Ranch....................
At the moment I have 10 Fords in the yard.
A couple of Chevs seemed to have slipped in ...........I guess they are wannabe Fords.
Fires are all around but not close.
Its mostly smoke , I gotta drive a couple of miles to see flames of the Meldrum Creek fire.
