week 2

Earlier this week didn't have much going on. We've been doing night time frog call surveys, Josh our neighbor (very nice dude) has been going out with us - he is our protection out there - I think Josey and I both feel safer with him there. One really cool aspect about these night time surveys is at 10 pm the radio station starts playing these 15 minutes old time radio stories. So when we get in the pick up we hear short stories with sound effects - we heard one about two sisters one was disabled the healthy sister didn't treat her so good. The healthy sister left and married a man and it turns out he becomes disabled. Then we heard one revolving around a game of chess.

Josh took us fishing - we dont have our permits so we just watched him fish. After fishing he took us around the Ft Peck dam, saw the spillgate. The lake looks like an ocean it is 119 miles long.good old boy Josh

Here is a classic image of Montana for you - One morning while doing bird surveys this older lady drives by in her GMC, she had her hair curlers in and her leather work gloves on, wish I had a picture of that for yall.

Friday night we went to the Catfish Calcata - for those of you like me who dont know what that was, I'lll explain. Saturday there is the Catfish Classic a fishing tournement. So the night before the whole town gathers at a bar and bets on the team they think will win, some people won 4,000 - 2,000 bucks. SO friday night was fun,Ii payed for one $2 dollar beer, and all the other drinks were bought on rounds - I was pretty pumped about that.The Montana Bar serivng the drunks of Glasgow for 110 years (seriously)

This barber shop is connected to the Montana Bar. I really think my papa would get his hair cut here.

It was suppose to snow the night of the tournament but it didnt- I have mixed feelings about that - I would have both liked and not liked to see the snow.

Saturday Josh and I went to the town's Pioneer Museum - I loved it, tons of junk old timey stuff of cowboys and Indians, railroads, hunting, homestead kind of things, western paintings, dinosaurs, old doctor stuff. For dinner one of the girls at the office Mikey had us over for dinner - fried chicken, mac and cheese, collard greens, pinto beans and blueberry colber - very good. We watched young guns - new all time favorite and then went over to the catfish weigh in. The two best fish were 10.7 lbs.
