Public Works

Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the
White House. One is from Chicago, another is from Tennessee, and the third
is from Minnesota. All three go with a White House official to examine the
fence. The Minnesota contractor takes out a tape measure and does some
measuring, then works some figures with a pencil. "Well," he says, "I
figure the job will run about $900: $400 for materials, $400 for my crew and $100 profit
for me." The Tennessee contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says,
"I can do this job for $700: $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100
profit for me."

The Chicago contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the
White House official and whispers, "$2,700." The official, incredulous, says, "You didn't even
measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?"

The Chicago contractor whispers back, "$1000 for me, $1000 for you, and we
hire the guy from Tennessee to fix the fence."

"Done!" replies the government official.

I have only recently learned that all computer screens are
 covered with bacteria, dust, and germs on the inside that
 can be dangerous to your health.
      
 This is caused by a variety of reasons and it can prove to
 be a health 20 hazard for everyone that uses the computer 
 Some at the CDC in Atlanta have recently said that this
 problem can be as dangerous as cigarette smoking because of
 the time that most of us are now spending on computers for
 work and personal reasons.

OOPS!! Damn, I hate it when this happens.....

Mass Migration of Stingrays

Looking like giant leaves floating in the sea, thousands of Golden Rays are seen here gathering off the coast of Mexico. The spectacular scene was captured as the magnificent creatures made one of their biannual mass migrations to more agreeable waters.

Gliding silently beneath the waves, they turned vast areas of blue water to gold off the northern tip of the Yucatan Peninsula. Sandra Critelli, an amateur photographer, stumbled across the phenomenon while looking for whale sharks.

She said: 'It was an unreal image, very difficult to describe. The surface of the water was covered by warm and different shades of gold and looked like a bed of autumn leaves gently moved by the wind.

'It's hard to say exactly how many there were, but in the range of a few thousand'

'We were surrounded by them without seeing the edge of the school and we could see many under the water surface too. I feel very fortunate I was there in the right place at the right time to experience nature at its best'

Measuring up to 7ft (2.1 meters) from wing-tip to wing-tip, Golden rays are also more prosaically known as cow nose rays.

Only in Montana

On the road between Billings and Roundup, A Dodge Omni was put to the test. It was moaning and groaning though. The Elk is bigger then the car. Notice the 2x8 supports in the second picture, to keep the roof from caving in.

Yup, I am starting to see the deer in the fields again. Won't be long now....

Ice Fishing

A friend of mine and myself, went ice fishing at Canyon Ferry last weekend. We didn't catch them fast and furious but we caught some nice Rainbows. We lost one pole and holder through the ice as well. I just set it up and turned around for a second to set the ice dipper down and down the hole it went. Must have been a dandy. It was a cold day, with around 18 degrees F and a 20 mile an hour wind.... We where using 4 fishing poles each, the law says you can have 6 but that gets a little busy at times.. Was fun though..........

Eerie looking mountain

This picture was taken by the lime quarry looking south. Look closely at the top of the mountain, the tree's look like they are glowing. I think the sun must have been shining through the clouds or something.. Weird...

Sheep

I took my dogs out for a walk today and ran into a bunch of Bighorn Sheep, west of Anaconda. Nothing big but there where a couple of rams there that thought they where tough...

Locked up

RENO, Nev.(AP) -- It's not all checking hunting and fishing licenses. Sometimes the issues are bigger. Like when a Nevada game warden was handed the chore of figuring out how to separate two bull elk who locked horns while sparring and couldn't untangle themselves.

The saga began Nov. 21 when a rancher in Reese RiverValleyspotted the two elk. By the following day, the animals were gone,and the rancher assumed they had separated.

A week later, according to Nevada Division of Wildlife biologist Tom Donham, the rancher was out looking for some of his cows and saw the elk again. This time, he called the wildlife department and Donham, game warden Brian Eller and Bureau of Land Management wildlife biologist Bryson Code headed out to see what they could do. When they reachedIndian Valley, south of Austin, it was Nov. 29, one week after the elk were first seen.


'When we arrived where the rancher had last seen them, we found them pretty quickly. They were both lying on the ground, and one of them was in a very uncomfortable-looking position with his head directly above the other's head and his nose pointing straight up to the sky,' Donham said. Eller said he wondered if they had survived their ordeal.

'Once we found out they were alive, I was hoping they couldn't move and would stay where they were. That didn't happen. When they ran off, I was hoping they could not go very far. That didn't happen either,' he said.

The elk may have been sparring at the outset, but Donham and Eller say they used teamwork to run for nearly a mile to evade the newcomers. 'It looked like they had been doing it all their lives; serious cooperation if I've ever seen it,' Donham said.

After two unsuccessful att empts, Donham was able to get a tranquilizer dart into one of the elk. With one down, the other could not run, but was also partially tranquilized in order to separate the two.

Eller and Code helped hold the elk down while Donham used a hand saw to remove part of an antler from one of them.

Now this is a BIGGGGGG Moose

The Hennings bucks

Found on November 16 near Henning , MN . Our deer shack is located

about a mile from the swamp where the bucks were found. Here's the

story... the guy that found them had left his stand Sunday morning and was

walking back to their shack when he noticed a tine sticking out of the

swamp grass just off the side of a four wheeler trail. He walked over to

check it out and found the two bucks frozen in the swamp ice with only

about one foot of each deer's side and about 10 inches of the tines above

the ice. After getting help from some hunting partners, they managed to

chop the deer out of the ice and get them loaded onto a flatbed trailer.

The deer were then brought back to the shack and the word started to

spread. The "smaller" of the two was a massive 8 pointer that green

scored an estimated 150+ inches and the "larger" monster was a true swamp

buck with what was thought to be 18 scorable points and a green score of

190+ inches. From what I've heard since these photos were taken, the two

bucks are gaining statewide attention and the larger buck actually has 23

scorable points. It is thought that the bucks had been dead for 2 weeks

before being discovered. Because of this, the capes had begun to

deteriorate and were not capable of producing a mountable cape. However,

new capes have been supplied and the bucks are in the process of being

mounted locked together in battle. The twine on the antlers was to

prevent the bucks from coming unlocked when the heads were removed. Also,

check out the cup on the tip of the main beam on the big guy! Hope you

enjoy the pictures. A truly once in a lifetime opportunity.

Points everywhere
