camp trip with RL and Kellie to knob hill

From the 9th of November to the 11th RL, Kellie and myself went to a place south of Henderson known as Knob Hill. It's kind of out in the middle of nowhere but its a fun place and the kids can ride the ranger and the quad all they want.

The pic to the right Kellie took of me while we were climbing some of the big rocks around camp

Below is Kellie giving Mallory and Maren a ride on the ranger. Maren is Doug and Megan Mckee's daughter. The McKee's came out with alisa on monday to have dutch oven food with us. I'm sure glad they came out to enjoy our fun and make it a little funner as well.

Below is Alisa, Megan and Mallory enjoying some yummy food.

Here is Doug trying his best to get out of the picture. Sorry doug!

Me with my night time happy pills. I gotta sleep somehow!

We had a great time and hope that next time we can have a few more friends show up and enjoy the good times!!

Deer hunt with B.J. & Dad

I know you guys are all in shock to see two blogs in such a short amount of time! The pictures below are of B.J's deer hunt that took place the second weekend in October. This deer hunt was very special to me especially because my dad went with us. But because of the bitter cold (morning lows about 14 degrees) dad didn't leave the camp trailer too much. But nonetheless it was a blast to have him there. The hunt took place just west of Ely Nevada.

Doing a high five with bloody hands! I love this stuff!!

This picture is of B.J. going down to find his deer just after he shot it!

I took this picture because I thouhgt it was cool looking. These are the mountians behind camp. This was one of those cold mornings I was talking about.

B.J. and dad with the deer in the back of the Ranger.

I thought this picture was cool because of what his shirt says

work pics

Here are some pictures from my job site on the Las Vegas Strip! All of these pics except a couple were taken from the tip of the crane. The operator let me get in the man basket and trollied me out to the very tip of the crane and swung me around so I could take these. I am 650 off the ground!

This is Herb the crane operator. He was just diagnosed with prostate cancer and is set to retire after being an operator for the last 37 yrs.

This is the man basket I was in while taking the pictures.

The view below is of the pool and Harmon circle.

The Strip

This is the North side of the tower where the manlifts are or should I say used to be! It's full of windows now!

This is level 67 and level 65.

I have been on this job now for just about a year and half. Perini has been very good to me and my family!
