What a beautiful sight, a massive bear walking calmly by our front door in Montana!

We’re making our own siding for the goat and chicken houses here at W Ranch out of raw logs from fallen trees here from our property.

Making siding for the goat and chicken houses. We first cut a side of the log flat, then rotate it 90 degrees and keep slicing about 3/4” thick. This way each piece has a flat edge (the tops) and a “live” edge (the bottom edge that’ll show).

Never regretted a campfire

08/03/2026

I’ve never regretted sitting in front of a campfire, even if by myself. Tonight I set up a hot rock and grilled a beautiful piece of venison back strap my good buddy Paul gave me. Nights like this, staring at the magic of the flames with a beautiful sunset and the sounds of the forest are truly healing for the soul.

Even though I’ve been working crazy hours here doing physically demanding projects, I have little to no stress and a smile on my tired face. I do really love my “regular job” but coming up here helps me to reset and put things into perspective. The only thing that would make this perfect would be to have my lovely wife Angelica and my two kiddos here to enjoy it too.
