Naw. I thought about it but decided it wouldn't work. One of those deals where even if I could afford to buy one, I'd never be able to afford to turn the key on and start it.

Good morning Oregon FTE gang and friends.

Morning Don. Now this sounds like a plan anyone could get behind.

I know that we only get to hear/read about a fraction of the day to day dealings with the owners of the base. I'm sure that they have their "big boy pants" on and will understand your position.

Like I said the other day... having a clear sense of direction is at least half the battle.

Well maybe they don't. Either way, you've made your decision.

Now it's time to get on to some of the fun stuff you've got lined up.

I actually feel relieved this morning. My stress load is going to go down a bunch today! We haven't done much to Mikey's truck lately. He lives 40 miles away and just can't spend the cash for gas every day, much as he would like too.....He'll be back up after this weekend and we'll get some more done on his cab. It's almost ready for a final sanding on the outside, then a final prime. We won't paint the final color till I get the doors and frond clip ready. I'll try and post some more pics after next weeks work.

When you coming over for a visit?

that's a good question, every weekend has been taken up by us going to Baker City for the wife. She has been getting fitted for partials to get more teeth in her head.

Not yet. Today I have a meeting I called with two of the owners. All the "bookwork" will be given back and we will no longer be managing this place any longer. They arn't gonna like it, but would have to make major changes for us to continue.
