Hey Troy did you sell your 6.0 yet?
Not yet. I just finally got the title back from the state last week. Got a few last things to finish up on it and then should have it listed by the end of this weekend.

Got half a day of work tomorrow(going in "early") and then it's off to Madison to cheer on the High School football team.

I do need to get that damn awning on the camper at some point before the snow flies as well....

Good evening everyone. I think my house is sinking...
That is very likely where you are wit hall the moisture we've had lately.
I have standing water in my yard, and it's all sand and gravel ground around here.

What do you mean, you can RTV something when it's below zero...

We went for a nice ride in the desert today with the temps in the upper 60's.. We went to an area called 4 peaks. Many narrow trails and loose-sharp rock. The GrassHoppa earned his keep and may be renamed. Dar thinks we should have named the SxS "Billy Goat".. In a way I agree... Some of the inclines we went up were steeper than I could have climbed on my own. We used 4 wheel drive in case we lost traction with the rears.
At just shy of half-way in our 35 mile journey today, we visited a defunct turquoise mine. There were still a few veins visible but we had no chisel or hammer.. Notes taken for tools to be taken along on future trips. At that we could still pick up chunks of rock with turquoise embedded..
We stopped on the north side of one of the peaks at an area called Sherwood Forest. It was a lush green area in the middle of the desert. Pretty neat!

Stopped for a break in the Sherwood Forest area...

Good morning Pete, Jim and the rest of the crew!

Just a wee bit windy! I thought the roof was coming off last night. Not much sleep for this guy and I have Dive training today.
