Ten years ago, I wanted to help more, but always found excuses on why I couldn't.

We live in the greatest state in the country! We are limited only by our desire, dedication and drive to make it happen here. Where else can you make crap wages and still spend your evenings and weekends at some of the most beautiful beaches and sites in the country? I guess I am spoiled up here as we boast the most beautiful place in America (Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes), the best ice cream according to Good Morning America (Moomers), festivals every weekend and some of the greatest concentrations of wine, beer, liquor and food establishments per capita anywhere.

Morning All!!!

What a weekend, Very very nice, all except one Drama moment.. I found out who broke into my cabin up north, and it was my intent to have them meet their maker. But since they appear to be in jail already, I wanted the **** who moved him into his home to meet their maker.

Long story for the web, I wil share more at the GTG.

Otherwise, a couple of 3 hour quad rides, new friends, lots of returnables, but something happened I am not use to. I brought booze home? Now this something that NEVER happens, but every place i went supplied.. I was barely ever at the cabin, and I was being fed beer at every waking moment..

Now time to call Clare County Sherriffs Department to see if I get some damn answers

Broke down and got myself a new gun this weekend. Only bad thing, other than the hit to the bank account , is now the search begins for ammo.

We had an awesome weekend in the sand driving around watching people launch things that are not intended to fly, created a returnable pile my self, came home and picked up a deal on some wheels for the Jeep. All in all, pretty good weekend. Even the boys, who have never been around anny kind of motor sports were in awe of the stuff going on.

Both vehicles even drove home.

It was a good time boating the inland waterway this weekend from Burt lake. I took today off, will post some pics up tonight maybe. Leaving here in an hour or so, going back to Milford, then turn and burn to Chicago for training.

Today is great. Both girls were at school and I had tons of free time.

Rich. I'll take the tool bench in your garage. It would be a nice addition to mine.

I have had the tool box since the late 90's it is part of me. Besides that box cost me a ton when I bought it. I can't imagine how techs can afford some of the boxes/cabinet systems they have. I paid $5500 for that one and stole it, I know of a few tech friends that have 15-20K in their set ups. Top chests, work stations, side lockers, stereos........
