Holy Cow!!!!

New Salem, North Dakota, home of I believe her name to be, "Sue" World's largest Holstein cow.

A desert

North Dakota Cacti and the most beautiful rocks around!

I'M FAMOUS!

I was contacted by a reporter, interviewed, and published across North Dakota.  At least I had a shower prior to her taking the photo :)

It Wasn't Me

Notice the curve in the metal of this drilling rig, that isn't good.  While the crew was taking the rig down it collapsed.  I'm just happy it wasn't my fault, someone's getting fired for sure !!

View from the driver's seat

A Dirty Blur, it's a perfect description of my last 3 1/2 weeks driving.  One day blends into another and you're always dirty. 

Sakakawea Sunset

With the water smooth as glass and resisting the ever increasing pressure to freeze over, Lake Sakakawea, can be absolutely breathtaking!

Hoar Frost

Commonly misspelled but incredibly beautiful!

Skating Rink

The band, Men at Work, once famously sung, "I come from a land down under."  Well, my versions would  go something like, "I come from the land of ice, snow and six months of winter."  Certainly not as catchy of a tune but what can you do?  North Dakota winters will certainly weed out the weak, 63 degrees one day the following day is freezing rain and 6-8 inches of snow and 2 days later it was -10 F with the wind chill :(

Hard At Work

The ebbs and flows of working in the oil patch consist of running days on end with little sleep and occasionally sitting days on end, during which board games on my phone become my best friend

A North Dakota Invention?

Its called "The Tumbleweed catcher
