Looks better all nice and neat.
I got some of the limbs and stuff cleaned up around the property from the winds the other day. Was going to start early today and work on it some more but a very good combat buddy is having his change of command today as he gets ready to retire.

Yes he is in the Guard.
I forgot the Talladega race was today.. dang it. We got back later than I had planned so I got a real late start around the house today. Had to do some fence repair on the lower pasture and did manage to got most of the limbs picked up.

I have class this week, better then working but hate doing classes. I have been classed out over the years.

Talked to the wife and talked her into leaving for Orlando a day earlier than we were planning. The plan now is to leave the Friday afternoon and to just drive till we are tired and find a place to crash for the night. I like this better than getting up and heading out early Saturday morning and driving straight thru. I figure I can make it a majority of the way.

Going to sound hard but if there is none around less temptation. Tell your freinds what you are trying to do, if they can not support you make new friends that can

That's good Jacob, keep it up.

I want to make it as far down into Florida as I can. I would like to make it to Gainesville/ Ocala area at least. That's about 2 hours from Orlando and my old high school stomping grounds is not far from there.
