Morning Allen. You were over to the last house when we found out we had to move, and I had no idea what was going to happen. I never expected something like what we have going here......

I would love to get up there, and see this place sometime. Need to convince the wife on a vacation to the northwest!

Never in my wildest dreams did I think something like this would happen AFTER I "retired" I was tired and ready to just spend the rest of my days fishing and gold mining. I'm really enjoying myself up here, and now want to do even more to make this a better place. Guess I just wasn't meant to retire...........

Not much to see, just a broken down radar base that needs a ton of work, but things are changing, and I'm just happy I have a small part in making things better!

The potential for growth here is what's driving me to see this through. That and the realization that If I can make this work, I can die happy knowing that Harley and Melody will have an easier time of it when I'm gone.....

We have a place you can stay in anytime you want to come out!

Well, that's one part of the country we haven't been to, so that would be my reasoning! I think it's awesome, the way this has turned out for you, Don.

Depends on how things go here. I hope to get some done this summer, but with the way things are going around here, it just might have to wait for a while...

Mikey lives in Arlington. This new remodeled house will go to Robin and Kathy that live across the street.

Don, if I had it my way, I'd be bringing my car trailer with me, and "liberating" one of those bumpside beds you have there!

You don't need your car trailer. Just come on out and I'll give ya one of my bumpside pick-up trailers and you can pack it with "other" bumpside goodies and haul it home with ya!
