Haven't been on here in a long time. Just thought I'd stop by and say hi!
Scott, happy to see you back

We miss your logging/chainsaw/wood cutting threads Scott.

Glad to see you post again.

Big day for me today. Just over a year ago we started cutting trees and clearing brush in the woods. Today, the EX can fly!

You've successfully built my (and probably many others) dream garage. Really nice work to get that all done yourself in a years time.

Keep it up!

I've seen it mentioned several times here about how complicated and involved it is to properly lift a RWD EX, now that I see a picture I totally understand!
Well done Eric, you should be very proud of your Garagemahal.

Very nice! You will never want to work off the floor ever again! Your next best purchase for the lift now will be a nice office chair with wheels, height adjustment, and recline.

Our new to us toon! A little longer than the flat bottom so I don't think I can pull this one behind the TT.

We plan to have the wife tow the toon behind the van while I follow or lead with the TT and X. I still might pull the flat bottom along (because I can) and in case I want to head out fishing and wife wants to take the toon out with the kids.

There is staining on the toons but no corrosion!

Great Googly-moogly!

It's been close to 4,000 years since we've seen you on the boards!

All jokes aside, great to see you!
