Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 41° with scattered overcast and possibly some showers. Started raining yesterday at about 1500 and didn't quit until around 0400 this morning.
Have to run into town today and get the electrical switched over.
Seems like a lot of hassle to go through just to change the spark plugs Brett.
As of yesterday we own it lock, stock and barrel. Right down to the elk, deer, goose, coyote and ????? poop piles.
For now we'll be staying in Sheridan but spending a lot of time here. We're kind of thinking of it as our long weekend get away for now. We have so much to get done with the Farm / Estate, dealing with my sister and some remodeling on the Sheridan house that it will probably be a year before the smoke all settles down. We will be clearing out some storage units and moving the camper and boat up here. As my stuff I have left on the farm is packed out, it will be moved up here and when that is done, we can start moving the Sheridan house. Some place in all of that we have to do some remodeling and deck work both there and here.

Good looking place Jim! Did you move or is this a visit?
Made it through Monday! The Cobra fought fender and grill but I finally won! Those engine bays are tight!!!
Like 1-2” clearance
On the way up, had to strip off even manifolds and motor mounts to get wiggle room
Whew!

Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else Overcast here in the La Pine area this morning.
Setting up security and then taking a road trip back to the valley this morning. There is a lot to get done down there, especially with the estate.
Looks like dear sister has a deal working on a place near Molt Montana and I wouldn't want to slow her departure up any at all.
Thanks Wayne. Been a long time coming. We haven't decided just yet how long it will be before it becomes full time, permanent. Still juggling a lot of things, but now we have the "feet dry" option and we will be spending more time here than in the Valley. Especially after the estate is settled and the homestead ranch has been fully dissolved.

Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 46.2, overcast with a 50% chance of rain but dry so far. It'll most likely wait until we have started loading the pickup with stuff for the Gilchrist place before the sky opens up.
