I'm here once in awhile.

Doing the SOS, but I'm not sure what I'm doing.

Hopefully, I can go do a little fly fishing/camp trip, before Ca. burns up,
or falls into the ocean.

Having a few beers...........a week......................

Hope that the ones that are having issues/problems get it resolved in a positive way.

Other than that.....................having a good time on FTE.

I went from laid off to 60+ hours a week, so I don't have much time for the computer, but I'll take it while I can get it. Spent most of June at the lake, now it's empty, lost my dad in July, my step-mom 2 weeks ago, but my mom is slowly improving and my step-dad istaking great care of her. We have an off road race coming up this weekend, that's about it in a nutshell....

Racerchick, my condolences. Keep your chin up.

I'm not here much anymore, now that I have a new knee and a new lease on life. My daughter (my full-time job) is 6 and I can chase her around now, my quarterhorse is 25 and I'm rehabbing her back to form after her going soft while I was crippled. We hit the trails again in a few weeks.

Picked up a little 21 sloop for some day sailing on Monterey Bay, took up Disc Golf, and am catching up on 3 acres of overgrowth. Might start raising meat goats, need to research it.

Oh yeah and a part time job using the F-150 delivering art/antiques.

Spent many days in the summer visiting FFA kids projects, weighing steers and hogs in preparation for our fair. Got in a week of vacation in the mountains and 2 weeks at the beach. Got a few jobs around the home/yard taken care of. Never-ending list, though.
Lawn mower repair side job went well with service and repair work coming in steadily, but not overwhelmingly.
Packed the oldest boy off to college last weekend and my school year started again so the free time pretty much evaporates for 9 months.

I'm still around as much as I can be, started college on monday so that'll keep me busy for the next 9 months or so, other than that I didn't do much through the summer. I ended up taking a few road trips but that's about the most exciting thing I did.

I am here every morning and sometimes thru out the day,When my health will allow I have been doing lawnmower repair not as much work as I would have thought though,I have been fixing and selling bicycles on CL for some extra coin.
Got some work done on my bronco and pickup, sold my boat and haven't been out saltwater fishing yet this year but went freshwater a few times but not as much as I planned,just got a RC boat to take with me when I do get to a lake or pond fishing,here is a photo from this past weekend with my fishing bike I built this spring and my best friend.

WOW! I haven't seen a kickstand on a bicycle since I was a little kid.

Have you ever thought about installing panniers?

All my Bikes I have and build get kickstands,I hate when they fall over or trying to get them to lean on something.
As far as panniers no, I take my tackle bag off once I get there and carry it plus they will get in the way of my fishing pole holder I have bolted on there,with my rod broken down and my tackle bag strapped on I can go off road thru some pretty tight trails at a fast rate and not have to worry about catching a pannier on a tree and taken me down with it.

PS I don't have the boat with me when I am out this was the maiden voyage.
