One can only hope I got out in the late 70's.

Absolutely. I'd really like to have a small bulldozer with a 6-way adjustable blade. That thing would do some work at BHF recontouring the roads and working over the creek crossings.

Some sort of all-terrain cherry picker would be a cool thing to have too.

I got a new home theater system installed this week (haven't even heard it), but have had to spend the last two days in the hospital with my baby daughter (asthma ) while wife was in Boston, so I am going to go get some movies and invite my friend that has some Sazarac over and probably take one of Carleton's little blue pills and watch some movies then go to a baseball game on Sat.

Edit: gonna be a good weekend--just called my friend with the Absinthe and he is going to be out of town, but left me a key:fork_off:

Tis a shame Gregg doesn't venture over here now and again to see the fun/truth poked at him .

Me, I'll be doing some final touches on the casa house. The for sale sign was planted in the yard day before yesterday, 12 hours later I was called for the first showing . Showed well even though the first showing came faster than expected for the local market. Best part is the prospect was the wife...hubby will be in town this weekend and the second showing for him is tentative for Sunday.

Besides doing final touches there will be some packing going on. Not much as I've lived a spartan life in Michigan . Time to head back to Califastlan and the familia.

Have to buy a birthday present for my mother today. Tomorrow, I might lounge in her pool for a bit, before having coffee & cake. Probably have to mow my ^%#$! lawn again too. I ought to spend some time with the cars as well.

Tomarrow working most of the day, might go sailing or fishing later on, or just tinker with the SDL. See how the day developes. Sunday is sailing, then probably down to the marina at night for some hanging around and relaxing. One of the guys will be coming back from a shark turniment so some stories are sure to be told.

I hope to put the finishing touches on this one over the weekend and hear it run. So far everything has gone well with it.

Ahhh, what lovely weather.

My daughter and I will take our old flintlocks down to the range and try to get 1"groups @ 100 yards,all in a cloud of black powder smoke!

As my wife does not really approve of guns based upon ignorance,I must conclude,she will not accompany us,at least my daughter loves guns and antiques.

Used sand in old road rollers ( Steam roller.) and saline in JCB's and other wheeled construction equipment.( In the 70' ..UK.)

Right now, walk the dog, going to bed...looking foreward to doing nothing tomorrow.

Is it just me, or is this newly minted shark fishing thing in the Northeast the answer to NASCAR in the South? No it is not me, what a redneck sport
