Life in St George has been rather uneventful. Im still working on my D60 front axle for my 79 250. Its funny how 5 min of play can cause 2 months of work. It would have been done sooner but Im lazy and have a bad back. I decided to take a break from the axle this weekend and finish my rear traction bars and clean out more junk in my shed.

On a personal note.....How about those Game*****!

 

Whatta bummer... here I had things to do around the house and on the truck... But I just kind of held off fearing the rain would hit at anytime....

Sunday... I'm just reluctant on starting a project... err jus' don't feel like it!

 

Spent the weekend in Toledo, Oh. with my son and daught...GREAT visit........sitting here now with him while the women are out shopping............
Fresh Lake Erie Perch tonight!!!

Flying back tomorrow, getting in about 5pm.....then Ann's boss is coming in so I need to get some of this beer out of my system so I can deal with them on a sane level..............

So sorry about your dog Rich.......been there done that.

Wiz.........keep those fingers out of the way of the big hammers.

Talk to you guys soon.

sounds like a nice place. wish you luck.

 

LoL I'm trying.

 

Steve.... Anything new with the house/land?

 

Gargoyle... How about that "Barn-Raisin' "?

 

The barn raising is gonna be a ways off yet. I have a guy starting this week who's going to do some clearing in preparation for getting a driveway in. We have a 'flag' lot, with a narrow entrance, and the bulk of the land back off the street. They're going to clear the entryway first. I hope to come up after Christmas to lay out the driveway location, but I have some family issues I may have to deal with instead. I've already used my vacation time for the year (1 week) so I have to budget my time. I'm going to have to do a lot by 'remote control', such as getting the slab poured, etc. Somehow, I'll get a couple weeks off to raise the barn- sometime in 2008, I hope!

 

DS, I used to ride dirt bikes. One Sunday we were riding Glassy, back when you could, that is. We were going up the edge of a corn patch and ran head on into a very pissed guy with an axe! We tried to explain that we weren't in his garden, just on the edge of it. Didn't impress him at all.

Used to ride Green River. We'd park at the bottom of the mountain and use a certain trail to the top. I heard a guy later say he did the same thing and ran into a guy with a shotgun and a very mad look on his face.
Needless to say we had to find another riding area.

We also rode Croft State Park and had to share the trails with horse people. Got to the point you'd use a trail in the morning and that afternoon there'd be a log across it! Around a blind curve!
Finally the park rangers said, horses on this side of Fairforest creek, bikers on the other side. That worked for about a month and we started getting horses on our side.
The rangers gave up and said ride wherever you want!

 

If you can give me general directions/lot numbers etc. I'd be willing to do some picture taking and "looking in" for you... Im in the finishing stages of "Contracting" a friend's lake house addition (2400sq ft addt'n ) So I should have some x-tra time on the week/weekends.

 

f100kid, i know all about glassy! family owns 48 acres up there. Glassy mountain properties, the actually road leading into the community is plumley summit, which is my last name

 

They started clearing today! The contractor was supposed to let me know ahead of time, but at least he started. He made it sound like he'd be done (except for burning) today. It's a start!

 

The Chapter has some interesting News coming up...

 

Sorry about the pup..Been there and done that..It ain't easy......
