When the routine things were done, we found out Steve had caught a mouse. Our time here is passing fast. There were not too many folks here at11:15 AM. Someone was here with diving equipment looking for lost anchors. Weird huh? Later we drove down to Porcupine Creek Road and checked the forest lookout and another forest road. We didn't see any bears. We had a nice walk and a campfire back at the RV. We ate nachos for supper, then showered and went to bed.

Sunday - Sept 8
Today we watched the Dallas Cowboys win their game! We ate hamburgers at home. It was a calm afternoon. We did see some divers again today. We walked the loop with the dogs later because they love that. They think they are on a hunting trip. Supper was Canadian Bacon, Scrambled eggs and toast. We talked to Kristi then watched Longmire. It rained from 7 PM on through the night.

Monday - Sept 9
It was still raining this morning when we got up. We were late getting up so we quickly let the dogs out to go potty. They didn't want out much - they don't like the rain. We stayed inside while it rained, most of the day. It finally let up and walked the dogs. It rained again in the afternoon. Steve and I went to town for pizza then returned to watch TV.

Tuesday - Sept 10
After accomplishing our morning routine -we drove to Kalispell. We dropped our volunteer timesheets off at the FWP office, then went to Walmart for supplies. After getting back to the RV we put away our supplies and ate leftover pizza. A girl and her dog (with no leash) went to the dock and swam part way across the lake. I told her the dog needed a leash but she didn't seem to care. She said, "We are just going to swim in the lake"
OK, fine. Later we took the dogs on a ride to town and also cleaned the Bifogrk Access. We put out some rope lights under the RV because they are supposed to keep mice away. We were really nice to the dogs today - because we walked the north beach and let them come with us. We are trying to use up our firewood - so we had a nice fire tonight also.

Wednesday - Sept 11
The mornings are all mostly the same. I made hamburger helper for lunch. Next we watched some TV. The aren't very many folks here today. Steve straightened out the back of the pickup. We also did an inventory of the supplies we have on hand in the shed. Steve picked up up rocks and sticks down in front of the boat parking, because he hopes to use the lawnmower there next year instead of weed eating. I worked on the blog some then watched Longmire . We also looked on the computer to check out new awnings to replace ours.

Thursday - Sept 12
Today Steve's back was bothering him. We walked after breakfast and did the chores about 11 AM. We checked the tire pressure on the RV - all at 86 - 88 pounds pressure. Then we checked the oil and fluids. The RV wouldn't start - so we drove to town for a couple of new connections. The dogs went with us - they love riding in the pickup. Steve got those ends changed and the RV started. We had a lunch of sandwiches and chips. I made Steve sit in his reclining chair and rest his back. He got a short nap. The we walked , had supper and watched TV.
Friday - Sept 13
Steve'a back was giving him fits and Zoey got him up at 3:00 AM. He called me to come help him back into the RV. We were up and down til 6:00 AM or so. He never got back to sleep , but I did and got up later at 8:30. After eating breakfast, I walked the dogs separately. I called a chiropractor in town $30 Chiropractor - Dr. Whipple - Whip. He is open from 11 - 5:30 . We got there at 11 and Steve was 2nd in line. He started walking and feeling better soon. He was not great but improved. We returned to the RV and rested. Steve put ice on his back and was a little better. He was good enough to walk a bit with the dogs. I fixed chicken soup for supper then more resting and TV. We walked down in the parking lot and I found a $50 bill in the boat chute! Lucky me!
