30 Years....whoa!

            Time flies when your having fun, one minute your graduating university and getting married, the next your back at the spot where you said "I do" thirty years later to recreate your wedding photos!

With the help of the expert Poppy Morrish of  Wild Poppy Photography we had a fantastic day skiing and laughing and enjoying a surreal moment in time 30 years later

    

Michelle sit fit her dress.....my tux was a little less forgiving, but fortunately the love is stronger than ever. Here's hoping that in another 30 years at 82 we can do it again for the 60th anniversary!

Spring has sprung in the rockies......which means one day your looking for a tee time, the next day your looking for a snow shovel! It also means all the university students are finishing exams for the year so that means I get to spend more time with my kids!<3

The ladder mounting continues. When I had the ladder made I was pretty loosey-goosey with how it was going to be mounted and had them fabricate the ladder using the body of another clipper as a working template. The fact that things are as good as they are is a testament to their attention to detail.

So I needed to become creative in a mounting option that also allows the quick and relatively frequent unmounting with ease 

So I fabricated two mounting platforms that will bolt onto the back. The ladder will then bolt down to the platforms with knurled finger bolts 

 

Being Married for 30 years is one achievement, but having a set or Sorel winter boots for 30 years is some sort of record. The boot tops long since ripped/melted/wore out, so I cut the top off and used them as, what Cecil Smith used to refer to as, pee rubbers.......its a Thompson/setting lake thing.....if you have to ask you don't want to know. But after time....it was time. In Michelle's opinion it was time 10 years ago but....I'm stubborn. NONE THE LESS! I bought new shop shoes....and they are even steel toed!
