Site manager decided yesterday that I've been here to long and have to go home for a rest,

Threaten me with a good time why don't you.

That's ok with me I need to do a few things at the house, take the Civic down to Orem and park it in the garage so if we show up there on short notice we got a set of wheels.

Then I get to come back up here to Kitimat to finish the repairs to thhese4 brand new machines.

Got a granddaughter graduating in Tooele on the 22nd so having a little get together with the family down there

Joyous Sunday morning Washington, Tim, Eric, Steve and all the crew.
Eric, glad to hear you get some home time and now to play catch up!
Steve, I always thought as you got older life was to slow down. A had to un-retire and go back to work to get a rest! LOL

Tim, pan fried 2 large chicken breasts yesterday, poor mans mashed taters and wilted Kale for dinner, The Kale, onion and garlic is from our garden. The garlic was last years!

Good morning Washington!

Rod, Your dinner sounds great! We had pan fried pork chops and lightly fried carrots.

Starting the day at 47° looks to be mostly cloudy with a high of 60°.

Merry Monday morning Washington, Tim, Ken and all the crew. It was a beautiful weekend in my woods and hope Ma Nature was kind in your woods.
Another day of plenty of sun and in the mid to high 80's.
It is a paid company holiday and I get to stay home and enjoy the beautiful weather.

Tim, your dinner also sounds good! Have a great start to the week.

OSB bang boards

Good morning Tim & all,
Watching a beautiful sunrise with a cuppa'...
Yes that's true Tim,OSB alone is not enough.
I am currently reinforcing the side with 1x & 2 x fir and I have steel stakes too that are being incorporated.
Next up is fabbing the back doors.
I too am a bike owner. Mad Max special....78' KZ1000 ST
Rebuilt & upgraded with 10 to 1 Wiesco pistons,recut transmission etc. A few years back I took out for spin at Ridge Motorsports in western Washington.
What a hoot running that ole' dog at speed! I was nothing but a back marker against all the GSXR's running out there though. Great time though. Bucket list moment for me.
Cheers all. Have a great day....

Good morning Ken, Rod, NSG and anyone else that stops by.

Starting the day a bit chilly at 38°

NSG, your bike sounds like a real ripper, I bet it was a real hoot out on the track.
Your side boards should last a long time if you don't haul scrap iron and things like that to tear it up.

Maria made a beef stew last night that was wonderful.
