Late morning guys. Dang, it's been busy on here! Trying to break last years numbers eh? LOL

I agree, My Labs have better habits than some people!

Good luck Don, I'd be loaded and ready to go. Sometimes those people sneak around and stay in those places while people think they're vacant. I don't want to make you paranoid though!

Well, gonna get some lunch and start back on the shop. Slow, but steady progress. Can't believe just trying to make room for the boat turned into an epic shop project. Got a late start on the day, Wife and me had a movie marathon last night and slept in. Now I feel like doing nothing all day.

Afternoon Oregon FTE gang and friends.

I've been putting out fires already this morning. My MIL woke us up at 8:00 am because she had an "emergency" with her computer.

Now I've got to get after some of my own chores.

It's called explosion fishing. An old friend ( who shall remain nameless...) use to do it up on the high lakes where we were gold mining...........

Supper, and breakfast in less that 30 seconds!


Still waiting on the sheriff to show up so I can enter the house.

I scrapped the car but still have the engine and transmission. I've been thinking of doing something like you're talking about.

How far is the trip from the dump up to you? That's a pretty good commute isn't it? Last time I was in your neck of the woods was about 7 years ago though.

I was really bummed when I couldn't go to the get together last year. I DEFINITELY will get there this year.

I've been saving a built 455 olds that I got from a friend that owns a wrecking yard in Pendleton. It was in a 66 F-100 and killed the driver, and cost his passenger both legs. I too am waiting for just the right project.....

The waste sites are about 20 miles North of me, and you better show up!

Feb. 20 something for NASCAR, Don.

Thankfully, College football and the NFL have almost run their course......good riddance.
