Absolutely loved biking til my late 40`s, then just lost interest. My daughter and SIL; ride and are trying to get me back on my bike.

What are they riding? I really want a 1200 BMW

They both ride Kawasaki Ninja `s, 650 R and a 650ABS, not my style of bike but they seem to like them.

Page III alert!!! Another beauty day here.....gonna head down the bay around noon today. I know the skiff is half full of rain water out there so gotta get that bailed out....spend over night at the camp. Taking a light load of building materials and a crate of hardwood firewood for later in the season too. Project time is coming up fast. The bride is away for nearly two weeks starting next Thursday so the dogs and I will be at camp a fair amount....basically whenever I'm not working.....which may be more difficult than I would like......work scheduling is piling up....seems like I can be just as busy as I want this fall/winter, which is good money wise but cuts into muh fun tyme a bit!! Got 5 spruce to take down out there at camp this fall.....that has to be done on a foggy/rainy day with an off shore breeze so I can drag the brush down the beach at low tide and burn it.....damn island spruce got a lot of limbs!!!!

Sounds great to me Robin!! Wish I was up there to help for a couple! Could use a break from "Yuppieville!' lol
But truth be told got my hands full with this old shack! One of the oldest houses still standing in the America's! lol Got 3 roofs done, a mud room( finally) and 2 windows. One... this big Bay I gawk out. My wonderful Finn "Turtle" I hope is still alive 6 houses down the street up here on Watsons Hill.... I'm just barely! lol And this all while a family fued going on between Sister-in-law, wife, brother, and father! Nothing new under the Sun!
Take care!...great to check in! PS How's Linda?

Liked the 650 BSA and the "Trumpet" we had! BEEZA was smooth, and the Trumpet sounded fantastic!

How we found out about Husqvarna's from dirt bike riding. Sandy soil Pine Hills around here are fantastic for dirt bikes, and back in the 60's and 70's for street bikes before Boston moved down here! Still know where to go though TG!!

Changed the Dodge half ton 4x4 for the Toyota 4x4! Dodge is stashed down friends garage. We have 4 of em! lol But with new inspection Beshik they are making it VERY difficult! 4 cameras in inspection stations and one body cam. Registry here is like the Gestapo. Own entity!

Hey Bobbie!! Good to hear from you. Yep old houses are a good bit of work and my camp more than most as it sits just about the high tide mark. It takes quite a beating!!

Heading out again in the morning with another load of materials and make some progress too.

LOL Linda's good I guess......funny thing.....I saw her more often when she lived on the island......she lives 4-5 miles away from me now and I see her rarely!!!

Had a few rainy days this week, really needed some as things were past dry, lakes getting low and the woods a fire hazard. Soon time for firewood gathering again.

 

[Cantdog]

More rain coming in Tues here....maybe Wed for you..

Hola.

 

[Cantdog]

Hola Zippy....where you been??......long tyme no see...

 

[pioneerguy600]

The rain we got raised the lake level about 6", very good for this year, things had dried out enough by Sunday morning for me to shift 6 loads of fine fill to the North side of the campyard and spread it out. Only cut up a dozen sticks of firewood, the pile is growing and have plenty up there for a couple seasons, the JD 56 still works very well.

 

[pioneerguy600]

Hola.

Been a long dry spell Zippy, where you been?

Temps have dropped here as well, overnights have been down in the single digits but the days are great for working.
