Ryan, glad to hear you made it out there safe and sound. I just came back from Thompson Falls, and decided I was going to live out there even if I had to live in my Garage. I have a small living quarters in it, and finished it up this trip, and my buddy's mother n law gave me a stove, and refrigerator. I stayed in the garage living quarters, the last week I was out there. I will be living there soon. My Buddy, and another contractor will start digging my walk out basement in a week from now. I still haven't sold my house yet, but I have to talk to my Brother, since half of the sale will be his, he is out west traveling with his wife, and some friends, and I haven't been able to get in touch with him for a couple of days. Any way, my house is being built in Montana, and I will be a genuine Montanian also. Howdy, Howdy, yup, nope, etc. Gotta practice. I couldn't find any agate in the Clark Fork, or anything down in Townsend, just south of Helena. Yes indeed, Fla. ain't what it used to be, and Montana is definitely the place to be! I will miss the swamps, and ocean, but that's about it, other than Family, and Friends. I stopped off in Billings to see some cousins I haven't seen for quite a while. Where is Lewiston located at? Mullet, I will have extra bedrooms, so if you still haven't gotten your Merriam's yet, come on out, to Montana, and you can load up on them. Oh, you still up for a road trip? I have a clown class to teach, and a clown convention to attend next week, but before that, and after, I have plenty of time.
