Sorry I can't make it over to help Rich. Heading back to the house to do laundry and pack then headed to Louisville this afternoon. Would much rather build a deck then drive all day.

 

No worries, we got all but 2 or 3 of boards for the joist around the pool in. I will be working on that tonight and hopefully start laying deck board Tuesday or Wednesday. Still have 3 sets of steps and railing to get done this coming weekend.

Got a good sunburn yesterday though....Hope everyone had a good weekend.

 

same here. spent the day on the big lake out of Grand Haven.

i still can't get over how well the F-150 pulls the boat. i was really nervous coming off of the powerstroke, but that thing is a champ.

 

I mean real God's country...over the bridge.

 

Newport Tennessee now. Well be packing up tomorrow and heading to mammoth cave tomorrow morning. There's a lot to do here. My daughter has been dying to go to a walk through aquarium. We're at the hotel and she still doesn't even know we're a half a mile away from the aquarium

 

Sucking up A/C at the Ruby Creek Bar... Shed built floor in and mowed. Electrician tomorrow. Cheers!

 

That's not God's country, that's black fly and mosquito country. Lol. Just kidding. Traverse City has become Little Kalifornia in the last 20 years. The locals don't even know what happened. All in the name of progress the crowd says...

 

Ain't that th damn truth this year!!! Mosquitos are horrible. I'd love TC if the people left.

 

I think I found Mike's new favorite thread.

Saw this hitch setup this weekend.

 

Was he kidding wonder it didn't pull off bumper, which it has started too.

 

Unfortunately not.
The bumper was bent from him driving the tractor off the front of the trailer.......I can't make this stuff up......but I missed the photo opp on that though, had to walk away for a few minutes to compose myself.

 

Sorry to hear about the mosquitoes. I stopped telling people how awesome Traverse was around 1998. Too late unfortunately. Somehow Rich still made it up here. Lol.

 

I love it up there. Just wish there was a little more work going on. The home inspection gig would have done ok up there, but that is just in the crawling stages right now.

10 days to get the house as done as I can. Should have the deck finished up this weekend, going to start laying deck boards tonight. Cutting around the pool should be fun (and time consuming).

 

What's happening all, did the pine river with a bunch of over 25 year olds. Was originally supposed to have been no kids, but I guess at sometime kids come. Great time at the camp, then the river. For anyone who has not gone down the pine, it appears to be a 34 beer trip. Love this event. Next week, up to th up, then mackinaw island.
