Haven't put mine up yet.
New roof is on the house, trim replaced, new scanner antenna waiting to go up.
We got one of the new canopies up Sat. for the boat. Waiting to put up the one that covers the Ranger until the new outbuilding is delivered...

One of the neighbors knocked some trees down infront of our nc house before i went down for turkey day. While they cleared away the large sticks they left behind a mess of the smaller ones. So i took the little tractor and helped myself to the cleanup. Also retrieved a few from the neighbors field. Dunno what they used. But they threw chunks all over the place.



Green acers is the place to be. Farm living is the life for me. Land spreading out so far and wide. Keep manhattan just give me that country side. Lol



got me a nice pile of sticks now.

tempting, but won’t fit the white truck, and both trailers are tied up. But you know if I get a camper shell for the 1 ton, it’ll have to go to badin.

Also found 1 for 100$ in Sanford, knock out two birds with one stone and hit the old inspection station where the blue trucks always gotten inspected before.

Good morning, NC! I've been away for so long, I feel like I'm probably gonna have to learn most everyone's names all over again...


I have finished Level I of the Va Career Switcher Program, and am now eligible for my provisional teaching license. I've already started applying to different systems in my area, so we'll see what happens. I hope everyone here has been doing well since I last stopped by!

Congrats James!
G'Mornen Tony, and the rest of the North Carolina chapter!
I've been on line more this morning than I care to, but I'm working with Shari's sister, planning a Surprise 50th birthday party for her. And we're seeing Trans Siberian Orchestra earlier that day.
So that means another trip to the Kansas City area, and another trip next weekend to the same house for an early Christmas get together for Shari's family.
Guess it only makes since to move back that way since we've been there about every other week ir si since we've moved back home to Missouri.
Our Christmas light display is working without a hitch (finger crossed) that it keeps going that way. Poor Ka'Bluey was even put into the show, poor boy.

Hope y'all are doing well.
