This is a beta male member of the Yellowstone Canyon pack, which had just brought down a Bull Elk during the rutting season in November. Unfortunately the kill was beside the road so rangers had to move the kill to a safer location.

This is the wolf known as 'big sexy', a beta male from the wild Yellowstone Canyon pack. Moments before, it was frightened away from a fresh elk kill by a park warden, as the warden prepared to move the carcass out of the water to a safer location away from the highway.

This wild grizzly was grazing on the side of the road. We stopped in our car and it slowly made it's way toward us while grazing on roadside grasses. Just after this shot the ranger wisely asked us to move along as we were too close, even inside a vehicle. Notice the traumatic catarract of the right eye.

This year in Penticton six NHL teams squared off to compare kids in their system. Quite an experience for the rookies.

Front view of a weekend project to build a little cart for an oxyacetylene welder and cutting torch. Handle and front feet are made of 1"X1" square tubing, baseplate is two pieces of 4" 3/16" thick flat plate, 1" angle iron most other places, 3" radius wheels on a 1/2" round rod. Originally I planned to add a front rail for added stability, strength and protection. After getting this far I realized that it is plenty strong and functional as is. The primer I had laying around was unfortunately white, so I expect with time to have to repaint.
