These last three weeks have been the busiest of my life. We bought a rental property and I have been working around the clock trying to get the place fixed up so we can flip it. If we get the price we hope for it will durn near pay off our primary residence. Plus, my wife has been in Europe since the 2nd of June so I pretty much been a loner on this project. Add in all the rain we have been getting and trying to keep two properties looking respectable is taxing my time and patience. And don't forget my day job. I've also had a nasty summer chest and head cold for the last two weeks. We had a buyer come look today and he's pretty interested. Fingers crossed. Mama made it home yesterday and we're loading the 4-wheelers in the 5er and going to go hiding in the hills for 5 days. This will be the first glamping trip of the season. Usually by now, we have a couple trips under our belt. Life has just been too freaking busy this month.

I have tried to keep up with you guys but man, you suckers are busy too. LOL There's no way I can recall all that's happened.

Gav - Thanks for the thoughts. Sounds/looks like your trip to CO was awesome. Neat videos. We have a pair of glasses that you can wear that takes movies or stills but I never wear em.

Savage - Good luck on the BSA trip.

Darren - WOW, trip to Romania, I think it was, way cool. Feet up on the boat and a beer in your hands, doesn't get much better than that.

Gigger - Ron who? Why I oughta... LOL Enjoy your summer in the 5er buddy.

George - Hang in there buddy. Stay safe.

Roy - Congrats on the retirement. You lucky devil. I hope to get there soon. That's the reason for the rental purchase and flip. Pay me down some debt so I can slow down too.

Tim - I miss my dirt bike days. I used to love that thing. 1976 Yamaha YZ400 was a blast. I throw my 800 pound cruiser around like a dirt bike tho. It's a 2003 Honda 1800 VTX-C. 107 HP and 110 ft pounds of torque. What a kick in the pants.

Paul - Hope all is going well with your truck.

I know I missed a few. No offense meant. I'll try and stay caught up. Good time wishes to all for a great summer. Happy Summer Solstice.

Dad, I miss you. Four years ago today was Father's Day and that was the day you passed away. It's lonely without you here. I'm trying to be the man you raised me to be. I Love You, Dad, See you soon.

 

I wish you were here to help me Gerry.
I don't have the tools to set up the carrier. The guy that's going to set it up is for me it pretty good. He runs a Dana 80 in the rear of his pullin' truck. I've known him since he was a kid.


It's good to hear from you Ron. We had a blast in Colorado. The only part that sucked was going through Colorado Springs and seeing that fire.

To our dad's.......gone, but never forgotten.

 

Gavin sounds like you have a plan, that's great to have your buddy there

Hey Ron who, thx for the update, sorry to hear you weren't well , I hope you flip that house soon, good luck with all that

 

Good morning Savage Gang,

Nice to hear from you Ron, Sounds good on the rental house, have fun in the mountains.

Gavin, Cool video of your buddy and his pulling truck.

Hope you all have a good day, I'm headed outside to help net one of our Cherry trees and later today we are going to start working on a deer fence around our grapes.

Cheers

 

Good afternoon all. We went canoeing for about 4 hours this morning and had a great time! We are packing up for summer camp now. Have a great day all!

 

Sounds like every one has plans, that's great guys.......... enjoy life while we have our health........

 

Good morning guys...

We are getting packed up and head off to meet the rest of the Scouts. I hope everyone has a great week! If I'm able, I'll check in from time to time. Take care and keep the thread warm for me. Thanks!

 

OK Savage, play safe man, as you always do....... thx for checking in, don't forget yer toothbrush

Good morning gang

 

Good morning Savage Gang, Hope everyone has a good day.

 

Howdy Tim, did you get the trees n the grapes protected ....... whats eating the grapes there

 

@Tim - I would love to come out and help you with the deer problem.

@Savage - have a good time.

 

Good afternoon guys, We got the Cherry trees netted but didn't get much done on the the deer fence. We got the poles and the fencing up there and a couple of different ideas on how we are going to do it.

Gavin, The biggest problem with the deer besides them eating the grapes is that they come in in the middle of the night do the damage and disappear into the hills by daylight. Maria and I both love venison but I haven't hunted for years and Washington has a very short season like 9 days I think, and it is not at the same time our grapes are ripe. I need a snare. LOL

 

If lake Michigan wasn't so foggy I might have seen Savage having fun with his latest additions to his truck this weekend on the silver lake sand dunes.

 

Great snap shot there Chad, lookin good

 

Looks fun Chad,
