The drift boat is outside and the cover is going bad. It had about an inch of water in it when I took the cover off. The tri hull is still covered up and I can't get to it yet, but I think it's a 78 17' Fiberform. At least that's what the title says. Don't know about "other" stuff yet. All the trailers, shop, bus, etc are stacked with "stuff". It will take weeks to find out what all is there...

Sure is amazing how the bodys on the vehicles last out there, that 92 pickup would be a bucket of rust up here unless it was stored for the winter.

No road salt, and we only get 12" of rain/year. Dave can get that much in a month...

You should see my 93 F-250.........looks brand new.
I am waiting to hear about the smaller "stuff" you uncover as time goes by.

Lot's of "smalls" Dave. I found and almost perfect Honda 90 Trail bike in one of the sheds today, with two brand new tires and tubes setting on top of it. Put fresh gas in it and it fired right up!

It would be nice to purchase a vehicle and drive it for 30 plus years, you buy a new one here and use it as a daily the under body is already showing serious rust around all the seams.

My 84 Ranger has NO rust on it..........though it does grow moss during the winter.
Don, I am keenly interested in anything firearm related you run across.

Good morning Oregon FTE gang and friends.

Morning Don and John.

Had a great time yesterday at my BIL's wedding. Although the tuxedo was a tad bit warm.

My sentiments exactly... I'm a little leary of older fiberglass.

Heading out soon for more wedding related activities... I don't understand how a couple can drag out a wedding event longer than their honeymoon.

Hi Guys.......

Church this morning......lunch with some out of town friends of Lynn's.....I am now parked in front of the Patriots game with no plans to do anything.





Front of Trailer. Rough Sawn Ext Plywood skirting





Trim is cedar





Truck & Trailer leaving Winnett MT





Utility door open to Theresa's bedroom....being used to haul building materials.





1.5 inch rigid foil faced foam used to seal the perimeter of the trailer. This is an access port to the underneath of the trailer.





My trusted helper.......:-)
