Got stuck in this mess…. The driver had no idea her MH was on fire and CHP had to intervene.

Crooked River Gorge pics chilled me when I remembered a horrible crime...2 children killed, their bodies tossed off the old bridge. A brief bio of the killer...

The Hacker Boat company is still building hand made boats today. The price is out of reach for us mere mortals. Did see a used 1992 26’ for only $149,500.00

They do look like floating works of art though.

I would LOVE to have a small dump truck, and that's a NICE one. Why does John need storage space? That Farmall A is too nice to use for anything. I'd park it, check the anti-freeze, take the battery out, cover it up, and forget about it.

He sold his farm but the Mennonites he sold to (good friends of ours) let him keep some garage workspace. He is working a new project for a friend of his and needed room.

He keeps telling me to USE the dump truck. No way, it is perfect. The Farmall will get the Mona Lisa treatment

Laying on the couch, I look at our ceiling and notice the unique shadow design our antique Tiffany lamp cast on the roof.

Let you imagination take hold
