JJ Class of ’62, -- Carolyn Pazderny & husband are building a new house a few miles from their 1910 Arts & Crafts home that they sold a few months ago.  Their new home is about 25 miles S.W. of Dillon, Montana (quite a contrast from where they lived in Austin).  They are currently living in a Rec. Travel Trailer out in the sagebrush….just them, the coyotes and mountain lions…..scroll down.

Thought you city slickers might like to see the temporary technology we're living with at the moment.  When the house is finished, everything will be connected permanently, but for now, we have several important connections existing in a temporary state.  By the way, winter isn't really over yet.  We'll still have some pretty good snow storms through the first part of April.  Actually, we get snow every month of the year up here.
Looking east from our mailbox; driveway, such as it is, is on the left.	Looking west.  Just us and the critters out this way.  It is SO quiet out here--wonderful.  The lunar eclipse was spectacular in Big Sky country.
This is the view we'll have from the deck, great room, dining room, and kitchen.  The house has as many windows as solid walls, so we actually have views in all directions.  When I kayak in the lake, I put in where you see the lake (which is still frozen).  I can carry the kayak straight from the house to the west shore.	This is our DISH network line.  It snakes from the satellite dish (set on a tripod), across the driveway, up the hill through sagebrush, and into the trailer connection.
This is my DSL line.  It originates at my old house and is strung along the fence until it goes down and into a PVC pipe we buried in our driveway, out of the pipe into the sagebrush, and into the trailer via a slightly open window.  Brrrrr.	The DSL line hanging on the fence.   The phone company didn't want to put the real DSL connection in until the house is built.
This is our telephone line.  It just lays on the ground from a pole about 2 miles away.	(Photo above) In the background are a few of the Draggin' Y Cattle Company heifers in one of the calving pastures.  When the calves begin arriving, you know spring is on its way.       Carolyn
