I’d be afraid to even work in that shop. Hate to be the first guy to drop something heavy on the floor. Can’t picture some body trying to air chisel an old rusty muffler off a 924 or something. Looks like the shop at a Porsche training center where no real work gets done.

They just opened a month ago, it'll change over time.

They had this in the show room.

Our daughters dog. He did not know what to make of the candy canes and Christmas tree. He spent a good five minutes staring at it, then woofed. 😂

We had a pencil sharpener like that mounted just inside the door going down to the basement when I was a kid.

Mine lives in my wife's craft room closet. It was given to me in the 70s by the school secretary when she got a new one.

The same day Higgens was up highway 20 East, I was just off 20 a bit West and North of Concrete- Lake Shannon.

I gotta go back with a boat- kayak, canoe or my old trusty Lund!

I'd hoped to get close to Devil's tower, an early 1900's structure that's been a local favorite for hanging out on, photographs and graffiti. One used to be able to park pretty close and walk around the gate and keep out signs up until a couple years ago.
Now the road is closed a good couple miles away with serious signs and "active construction signs".

The lake was down a good 15-20' so I tried walking the exposed shore line to get a gimps, no luck.
The shore line was either frozen or sticky sticky mud that sticks to yer boots and it's suddenly WAY slippery. Plus there were some stream crossings that would be a challenge.
Decided against risking a fall in the goo/ice/rocks.
I'll be back!

Lower Baker Dam impounds Lake Shannon (Hydro power), upper Baker dam (more hydro power) holds Baker lake in place.

Lower Baker Dam










Only had a couple other vehicles come by during the 90 minutes or so I was there... one showed up with about 4 kids- 20 somethings while I was flying my drone.
I let it hover and told them I'll land it if it bothers you at all, they said no, don't it's cool!

Alrighty then!

Why haven't you gone elsewhere for coverage?
