Real Work

I was able to get out of the hanger and do some much needed work on the ranch today. I'd been so down about Jack's death and so engrossed with the Thunder 7 project that I have completely forgotton that I have a ranch to take care of.

It was a beautiful day today, I rode my horse Cheyenne
out to the western edge of the ranch near the Gallatin National Forest and fixed a large section of fence that had been broken for almost a year now. I stood and looked at the Bitterroot Mountains for a while before I headed back to the house. It was nice to be on a horse, I hadn't ridden in a while.

The sun was setting as I made my way back to the house, it was breath taking. Montana is a wonderful place to grow-up. I spent millions of my personal wealth restoring and modernizing my childhood home. Not to mention building the secret state of the art hanger and base of operations underneath my house.

Sitting there on the back of my horse, I felt somewhat alone. Both my parents we're gone and now Jack was gone, but I still have Cal.
