Morning Woods.

Been two years since I used the snow blower up here. Probably clean the carb out this summer. Rumour has it, El Nina is on her way in.

Family and get togethers. Haven't been to an extended family function in a while. Usually funerals.
Going to be a beautiful day up here, 64ş. Planning on a 270 mile bike ride with the Mrs.

Greg, before you attempt to clear the sand it is important you understand the tool that will help you achieve your goal.

Tracy...I got the PM, will prolly hit him up on PM as well. It is easier for me to communicate via email/PM than on the phone.

When I was a kid and my great-grandfather was still alive, we used to have a big family reunion every year. Lot's of good food and seeing cousins that lived out of state. After he passed, and the fussing over what little he left behind, we never had another one. Haven't seen or heard from some of those folks in nearly 40 years.


Hope you guys have a great ride Tim!

Morning all, another beautiful day here in MN, hopefully re-assembly of WG will go well and I'll get some Kubbing in this afternoon, barring Murphy doesn't make an appearance.

Wife's Spyder won't hold a charge now, suspect battery as I get a decent charging voltage so another new battery probably in the works.
Another two day project considering it's a bitch to get at.

Got about 30# of R-12 and 60+# of R-22 I think I'll sell, hate to put a ad in Craig's list and deal with the idiots, but nobody I know wants it.

68 right now and high of 77, to nice a day not to be Kubbing..o-well.

Have a great weekend, what's left of it.

Al

Thanks Tracy.
Thats what happened up here as well. The patriarch passes and all hell breaks loose. They would rather take what he/she had instead of having what he/she gave them over the years.
