Morning MN.

Well fishing was no good. We saw them down there, just could get them to bite. Frustrating, but we did manage to get some bottle bass. Well today is Friday, Waahoooo! Let the three day weekend begin. Ok, time to make the donuts.

Oh ya, I did get my shock back. Everything is ready to put in, just need some warm bodies to help. It was only $40 for the rebuild on the shock, the caliper w/ pads and the wheel. Not to bad. I might need a couple bearings but at $5 a wheel easier to just get a used wheel. Good thing he is close! Later

Good morning to anyone stupid enough to be up already on a Sunday when they could be sleeping in. We already got the Xmas totes out this morning to put all that away.

Cory-problem with a used wheel is that you also have a used bearing. Could last all season (which in this case could be 5 miles) or it could crap out the 1st ride. I would use your existing wheels and just replace the bearings if the wheel is in good shape. The bearings are super cheap at Fleetfarm or Dave can get them cheap too with a little heads up.

That was a good deal for all that stuff too!

Good Morning Cory, Jay and everyone else stopping by!! My alarm went off at 7 so we could go to church, but I think we're going to take it easy for the morning. Alexandra came up at 4am saying she didn't feel good. She immediately ran to the bathroom and proceeded to .

We made great progress on the house yesterday. The two main floor bedrooms are painted (with the exception of the closets). I am going to get our bedroom furniture on Monday. We got all of the carpet, pad, staples and tack strip out of the upstairs bedrooms as well. Lots of stuff packed up and hauled away as well. Overall, a VERY productive day. We'll probably go back later this morning and do some more work. I hope to get home early tonight so the kids have a break before tomorrow and we can get some stuff done around here that we've been ignoring ... ehh ... who needs clean clothes.

Howdy all hope Sunday is good for you. Got my feeder trails cleaned. 2 miles in each direction RI main trails. Little over 3 hours. Pretty good. Had to make carrying rack on the citation before I could do it. The rack worked good

Here is a picture in the woods
