![]() ![]() We also saw a moose far in the distance on the trail. On the way to Iceberg Lake we saw a grizzly above us on the trail (maybe about 15 minutes in) and on the way back (about 1/2 hour or so from the end and again in an open meadow area with a few trees), we had to wait to go down the trail for a brown bear with two or three cubs. Early on, you walk through open areas with meadows. The entrance is a hefty initial incline (to the left of the cabins), which is very steep (for maybe a quarter of a mile) however, the trail is mostly a gentle elevation with a few dips. The entrance to the Iceberg Lake trail is the same as the entrance to the Ptarmigan trail. ![]() Parking by the trailhead is limited so we got one of the last parking spots at the Swiftcurrent Motor Inn. The trip took about three hours with a bathroom stop along the way. Then you drive further to the Swiftcurrent Motor Inn. Mary Village, taking Hwy 89 north and turning left toward the park around Babb and using the Many Glacier Entrance. you need a $2 vehicle reservation, which can only be purchased in advance-either far in advance or no later than the day before by getting online at 8 a.m.), driving to St. We stayed in Whitefish, MT so we reached the entrance to the trail by entering the park at the Apgar Visitor Center entrance, crossing the park using the Going to the Sun Road (if you enter between 6 a.m and 4 p.m. Iceberg Lake is on the east side of the park. Most hikers were in groups however, we did see some single hikers. The entire trail, including the walk from the parking lot, is about 10 miles roundtrip. We were there in the second week of August and the day was warm but that isn't always true. A lot of the Iceberg Lake trail is in the sun and bears are active there. It was a memorable experience.Īlthough seasons vary year to year, hiking a couple of weeks later this year would have been even better with the creek bridge installed and snowfields melted.Ĭarry a lot of water on the trail. The ambiance was so relaxing and peaceful since everyone respected the stunning ambiance of this setting. Many hikers were having their picnic lunches beside the lake which was still half frozen. The half mile from the creek to the lake were snowfields which were also dodgy to cross.Īrriving at the lake presents a stunning view. ![]() In fact it was a bottleneck waiting to cross. There was a dodgy temporary crossing (fallen trees) that challenged a few folks. The trail was well maintained with scenic views. Since the gate was still closed, all the hikers were heading to Iceberg Lake.īe sure and turn left at the halfway point to the lake rather than to the Ptarmigan trail. Its a popular hiking trail with lots of hikers since first part of trail is also the way to the Ptarmigan trail and gate. There was a small parking area near the trailhead but full already. Parking was easy near the Swiftcurrent Inn since we were there early driving from St Mary. ![]()

With no credits in 2013 aside from episodes of “American Dad!”, Kaye had a strong 2014, landing the starring role of Toby Curtis in all 93 episodes of the well-known “Scorpion” through 2018, concurrently with five other parts. A year later, he made his final appearance as Finch in the “American Pie” film series, starring in “American Reunion.” In 2006, he began starring as Jeff Woodcock in 39 episodes of Josh Goldsmith and Cathy Yuspa’s “’Til Death”, until 2008, then in 2010 and ’11, he played David ‘Kappo’ Kaplan in 16 episodes of “How to Make It in America”. Kaye continued his Finch portrayal in “American Wedding” in 2003, and the following year he realized one of his most famous portrayals – Rosenberg in “Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle.”Ī year later, he snagged his longest running role to date, becoming the voice of Barry Robinson in “American Dad!”, which is still ongoing in mid-2022. ![]() In 2001 he appeared as Finch again in “American Pie 2”, meanwhile also cast in the significant part of Mike Platt, in 28 episodes of “Off Centre”, through 2002.

Skateboard ramp in backyard1/1/2024 ![]() Sure there might be simpler ramps you can make but chances are there’s really only a handful of tricks that you can do on them. compared to basically every other obstacle out there, ledges are in the sweet spot in terms of how easy they are to build and how many possibilities there are when you’re skating them. One of the easiest backyard skatepark obstacles you can build is a ledge. There will inevitably be deterioration and good maintenance is essential.You can build a backyard skatepark for much cheaper than your probably think. Continue to check the structure regularly. If your structure seems flimsy or to have weaknesses or faults, consult a professional builder.ģ. The ramp should be carefully checked and tested before use. Always warn the uninitiated and use protective gear.Ģ. Skateboarding can be fun but is inherently dangerous. Safety rails: take 3 lengths of 1800 pine and screw or bolt to the rear of the ramp and screw or coachbolt the top rail to these verticals. The two sheets will be half on a rafter.)ġ0. ( Tip: remember to add in a rafter where the sheets of ply join. The top layer can be easily replaced when it gets damaged. It’s a good idea to line the whole ramp again with another layer of 9mm ply, without glue. Repeat this until you get to the other end.ĩ. Work your way down with you and a friend standing on the ply to create the curve. Put glue (such as Maxibond) on the rafters and start at the top, butting the 9mm ply into the pipe and screw at 100mm centres across each rafter ensuring that the screws are countersunk and flush. Sit pipe as detailed and screw to top rafter.Ĩ. ![]() Cut out (see Detail A) 30mm x 30mm square from top corner of the curved frame and put a rafter either side. They will still remain flush with top of frame.ħ. When you get to the flat spot put the rafters on edge and the ground will support those rafters. ![]() The rafters are laid on the flat so that you see the 70mm face. The rafters need to be flush with the outside curve frame. Now you are ready to put the rafters on to create the curve. Make sure the frame is completely square. The two frames can be nailed together creating the flat spot in the ramp. Each end of the ramp needs to be joined together using 70 x 45 rafters on edge. ( Note: all the rafters have to be cut at length 2364mm – this plus the two 18mm framing sheets will create an overall width of 2400).ĥ. The overall width of the frame is 2400mm. At the back corners, start framing timbers. Stand the four outside frames into position and on the bottom corners on the ground nail your first rafter. Cut the rafters at length 2364mm (this allows for the 2 x 18mm framing sheets to create an overall frame width of 2400).Ĥ. Take two of these and reduce the curve by the thickness of the rafter (45mm) and this frame will sit under the rafters. Use this piece as a template and cut 5 more. ![]() (Thus it begins to flatten before the 70mm point – giving a nice transition curve to flat spot).ģ. Take a piece of plastic conduit (see pic below) and from those two points, create the curve, remembering the curve must be flat at the 70mm point. Go to the diagonally opposite corner and mark a point 70mm. Set out the template: take 1 sheet of 18mm ply and along the 2400 length, measure in and mark a point 500mm from the edge to mark the platform. Rails: 2 of 70 x 45mm treated pine at length 2700mm, 6 of 70 x 45mm treated pine at length 1800mm, 10 tubes of Maxibond glue (or similar), 200 screws x 25mm long, 2 x 2400mm lengths of 50mm dia. Rafters: 35 of 70 x 45mm radiata pine at length 2400mm ( Warning: keep all power tools, and particularly nail guns, out of reach of children.)ġ. If nailing the frame together, Scottie recommends hiring a nail gun. The frame can be screwed or nailed together. You’ll need a friend to help (preferably an experienced builder). The ramp must be sited on a flat, level base. As a thank you present, Luke presented Scottie with a signed Newcastle Knights football jumper. Each set consisted of a helmet, kneepads, wrist pads and elbow pads. Luke was keen to try out his new ramp, but first, Scott presented him with a gift from Burke’s Backyard: two sets of safety gear for use with the ramp. Scott not only supplied the plans and instructions (see below), but he went to Luke’s place and they built the ramp together. ![]() Scott Cam received a letter from Luke Davis, who lives with his grandparents, asking for plans and instructions to build a skateboard ramp. SKATEBOARDS AND SKATEBOARD RAMPS ARE DANGEROUS It is the responsibility of builders of skateboard ramps and users of skateboards to ensure maximum safety. ![]()

Black patina aluminum1/1/2024 ![]() ![]() ![]() To achieve different effects, layer two different finishes one on top of the other. A colorful pattern forms as the chemicals react with the metal surface. Immerse the object in the stain or dye, or spray, brush, sponge, roll, or rub it on, as directed for the specific finish.Īllow the finish to sit for a few minutes to a day, depending on the formulation. Apply the stain or finish to the surfaceĭepending on the finish, the metal surface may need to be hot or cold (room temperature). Before continuing, make sure the item is totally dried. Alternatively, softly etch the surface with a wire wheel or vinegar. To better allow dyes or coatings to attach, the surface can be cleaned and abraded with an electric sander or sandblaster for some operations. Make sure not to contact the piece with your hands, as this will cause undesirable oils to be left behind. Using a metal cleaner and degreaser, the metal must be clean and free of any grease, grime, rust, or scale. Given below are essential steps for this process: Make sure the area is clean If at all feasible, work outside or in a well-ventilated area. Wear adequate personal protection equipment, such as gloves, goggles, or safety glasses, and, if necessary, a respirator. To make a patina, follow these simple techniques. This worn appearance is particularly appealing in artwork and ornamental items. ![]() Patina is a thin colored layer that forms on the surface of metals such as iron, steel, bronze, aluminum, brass, and copper over time. ![]()

Puppy yelping1/1/2024 ![]() ![]() Whenever dogs yelp, only your dogs want you to observe them and help. It simply means the breeder or the owner’s attention is needed as this may be their most accessible way to communicate their mind. Image by Mylene2401 from Pixabay What Does It Mean If A Dogs Yelps? Dog Cries When He Gets Up After Lying Down For A While.Dogs Yelp When They Are Barely Touched.Dogs Yelp When Picked Up At the Stomach.Why Does Dog Cry Out in Pain for No Apparent Reason?.Their socialisation and well-being are the heart of our work, and while the strings of that heart may be tugged at by crying, you can soon learn to completely understand your canine pal’s needs. ![]() Paws in Work staff make sure we always follow the cues of the pups we bring to play at our events, and if one of our pups needs something, that’s absolutely our priority. Paws in Work vehicles are modified so that the team are sat next to the crates to offer reassurance whenever it’s needed during travel. When travelling in puppy crates to Paws in Work events, we ensure that all of the pups are settled, comfortable and having a positive experience on their first journeys.the majority just snooze the trip away! Any pups that may whimper during travel are kept at ease by our team, who are always on hand to offer them a settling stroke. Crate training can give them the reassurance of personal space and help them to adjust gently. This may result in some periods of crying, but they will tire of it after a while. Being alone or having to sleep alone at night can be trigger points for crying, but if you give them the right atmosphere, they can learn that it’s not so scary. This way your little friend will adjust easier to being alone. Gradually build up the length of time they are alone. Crate training can reassure them very well, and it’s something we employ at Paws in Work. Pop the crate somewhere quiet and out of the way so your puppy can feel secure in their special place. Make a crate inviting for them, with a comfy blanket and a familiar toy in there to encourage your pup to give it a try. This is where a puppy is gradually introduced to a puppy crate, which they will soon associate with being comfortable and safe. You can then gradually move their bed towards its permanent spot as they get used to this.Ĭrate training can also help. You could try things like allowing your puppy to sleep closer to you at first so they can hear you and feel less alone. If they start up again, as hard as it may seem, leave them alone. ![]() Check if they need the toilet or if they are hurt, then settle your puppy again and leave. If you do go and check, limit your time with them. If they continue to cry for a long time, then there may well be something you need to help them with. Make sure they’re comfortable and warm and have their things around them. Once you understand why they are crying, you can decide how to approach it. Natural crying is what happens when the puppy is frightened or otherwise distressed, and learned crying is what comes when the puppy starts to associate crying with receiving attention or treats. The Labrador Site mention the two types of crying in puppies, namely learned crying and natural crying. This is where it can be tough not to give in to their little whimpering voices and go and comfort them, as doing so can lead to them crying for attention in future. Your puppy may cry when they are left alone, perhaps if you’re elsewhere in the home or asleep. Is your puppy hungry or thirsty? Do they need the toilet? You should never leave a puppy to cry when they are in need of the basics, or this can cause difficulties with training later. why do puppies cry?Ĭrying is the earliest form of communication that your puppy learns, and you should always respond when there is a genuine reason for the crying. At Paws in Work we’re always aware of the needs of the puppies who come with us to our events and understanding what’s going on when they whimper or cry is important to helping them develop. ![]()
