Planning and working on this thing has been pretty spur of the moment type of stuff because of Aaron and I's schedules. It's been tough to "plan" anything really.

Haha, I hear ya. I have been pretty busy. Haven't had much time to post any pictures. I will get to them as soon as I can. My camera is sitting at the shop, and we are on an "intermission", if you will, so I will get to it soon.

Thought I'd put the pictures I have taken with my phone on here so you've got something to look at.




Plenty more to come from a good camera, when I get around to it.
