The site is full of these storage tanks.

Not much to look at here but there are some beautiful sunsets.



I'm also good with the loader. We move a lot of dirt.





Solid waste pit where we mix with dirt/manuer with the track hoe, which I am expert with now.







The tricanter centrifuge.
































I have been working in Baker Mt from Jan 9 - Mar 30. I work for D&M water service at the Petrocomp plant where we take in slop oil and run it thru a tricanter centrifuge and seperate the oil, water and solids. We mix the solids with manuer and take it to the landfill, sell the oil and pump the water back into the well on site.

Grandma Gladys caught a fish all by herself.


We took the jet skis to Tropic res to see if they worked. They need some help, won't go very fast.

New front on my camper. Got the aluminum from a trailer down the lane.


I had Norris Brown and his son Dean help me put a new roof on the old house. We put 88 sheets of ply wood and 6 vents to help cool the attic. It was sure a lot of work to tear off the old wood shingles. We started work Sep 22 and finished on Oct 5 but only worked 7 days.
