Montana does not usually jump the gun on Summer. May is typically nice with some warm-hot days and then June is cool and rainy, before it warms up for real in mid-July.<\/p>\n
But this year, although June started cool and rainy, it did not last long and we’ve had several days in the 80’s with today hitting 88!<\/p>\n
Saturday was a chore day which included setting up sprinklers as those few days of rain were not going to last through the forecast heat – we are to be in the 80’s through this coming Friday. <\/p>\n
I started on weed abatement going through 4 gallons of white vinegar. This will be ongoing, but a first attack has occurred!<\/p>\n
Wild Thing is home after a short stint at Billy Bob’s RV for normal maintenance plus new brakes all around. There is more to do, but all safety and engine stuff is done. I spent some time cleaning inside, flushing the fresh water tank\/plumbing and organizing the basement storage. She’s ship shape!<\/p>\n
I was beat by early Saturday evening, but the good news is Sunday was a “do whatever I want day”.<\/p>\n
Bear and I hopped in the Jeep and headed to town for a few items. Several weeks ago, my neighbor told me about a back road to town. We took it. It is beautiful and bonus: a nice place to stop for a walk with Bear along the river:<\/p>\n
There is another fishing area on the other side of the road with a pond. This river spot only has access to the river, which is running high and fast so all of the fishing activity has been on the other side the 2 times we’ve stopped…<\/p>\n We had this little spot all to ourselves.<\/p>\n Plenty of shade, great view and a nice breeze off the river – perfect!<\/p>\n A new kitchen acquisition: ice cream maker. And this week’s flavor is Key Lime!<\/p>\n![](\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Jun15\/BackRoad1682.jpg\")
