I want to see the room where the large quantities of glass are. Beautiful, and hows school going? You doing well, just getting by, etc. How hard is it to find a firm to design for? Haven't changed majors right I'm hoping Heavenly and Squaw Valley are open...at the least dodge ridge. Anybody know?

All i have to say is NICE ( truck, house, snow) I would love to see a winter out west. We get snow here but the whole package is way different there.

PH do you use your wheels all year round? Im looking at the same wheels and im wondering how they will hold up in the snow.

We've got a little dusting of snow here, but not much. Hopefully we'll get dumped on soon or everybody will be prone to frozen pipes again.

Great looking house Balog. We looked at that style when we were designing ours, but decided not to since we are on the bottom of our hill and don't have much of a view.

ive got a 'few' pics of course- i may venture down to GD to post em rather than takins\g good space up here in 150 land... if of course y'all are interested-

thanks for the compliments guys- both on the house and truck

as for school- its a ton of work- i thought i'd just drop out and work at taco bell- they're hiring you know- starting wage $9.25- can't beat that!

<rant on>
NO- hell no- its more work than I could have imagined- i made it through undergrad architecture, which is a highly competitive test every last nerve, keep your tact while you get ripped up one way and down the other by the jury, see how long you can function without real food, and sleep, how deep & long an exacto blade wound has to be before you need stitches- But grad school in architecture- man- i've got 5 weeks before my preliminary defense- i meet with my thesis board twice a week to review my progress/project and you've got to make significant progress by each meeting or they say, eh, we'll see you next week, good bye.
woodshop 101- my final elective in school, ever- keeps me sane, and gives me a place to let out my frustrations with the project and my advisors
but all in all they wont admit it, but i've got a project that can be built- which 95% of the thesis students don't do- most projects are only unrealistic theoretical explorations- so they're happy inside i just know it but their countless years in architectural education has made them impervious to agreement with students-- who believe it or not, may be pretty intelligent.

Hey Balog

Yeah we had a nice snow covered ground here in Billings as well. I am kinda suprised at all the moisture we have had so far. My dash read 24 this morning. Did you go to that beer festival near Bridger Bowl? I heard they had one last weekend. Anyway good luck in school.

Josiah, ever been to Northstar?

I am going to be putting the stockers back on in a couple of weeks. I just don't feel like risking going to into the ditch and bending a wheel or having someone that can't drive, hit me. So these will go bacck into the garage on the tire rack until march.
