Thanks!!!
Looking forward to it. I love the beach, the surf, the sun and smell of the ocean, but I think the wife and I go more for the food and a break from the normal routine!

5 months till Walt Disney World and we will be on our cruise to the Bahamas this time next year!! I am really excited about these. We have gone to the beach every year for the past 4 or 5 years but I am ready for something different.

Hi there!!
We made it safe and sound yesterday afternoon. Took the girls shopping and we visited my buddies pizza place. Little man was not so thrilled about the water. It's still a little cold but he loves the sand. Partly cloudy and a little windy but it's nice. Heading out for some breakfast soon and then back to the beach!!

Well we ate to much and got a little sunburned but are having a great weekend at the beach. Really need it to recharge. Sad that we are having to leave in a little while. I could adapt to a wanderer life style real easy!!

Quit your job, get rid of the horses, tell daughter she an adult now, sell the house, scale down the toy yard, buy that mega motorhome and be free. Easy task. Alot of people go that route.


We drove over to Cochran yesterday to go to the dirt track over there. Dixie/Rhome opener is next week. Racing was ok. Car count so so. There was a tourIngles late model class running crate LS3 525 hp crate motors had 22 cars in that class . The regular classes had 7 to 12 cars cars each. I miss the days of local tracks have 100-150 car counts.

That's where I'm at on the bed of my truck I've already cut out all the bad rust Parts in the floor bed I have removed all the bolts and slid the whole bed backwards so I can get that front edge and straighten it back out cuz it looks like they had logs in there and they were slamming from the tailgate to the front of the bed and it's made them both bowed so I need a new tailgate and now I'm straightening out the front of the bed so I can get a new piece of angle iron in the corner Channel there to reinforce the front corner because it's kind of rusted out like most of the truck do
Boy my shoulder and my back are kicking my butt this Monday from swinging that hammer this weekend

Gravel will do that to a bed. Sounds like a us3d b3d would have been cheaper, but it a labor of love.

Yes a labor of love indeed. But you know like they say if you want it done right you gotta do it yourself so put some elbow grease in it!
