Thank you for Military Service. We appreciate it.

The guy on the other side of the woods - with the idiot thumping bass speakers - thanks you too. . I'm going to "engrave louder!" - two can play at that!! Haha.

For those fearing I might die before finishing their gun: I lost ten pounds lately. Probably sweat and labor. Do I have to wear spandex or will Demim and Tees count as healthy too?

We have a FULL flock of Crows which moan, squalk, and cawl, non stop! Loud birds. Don't make me scope that 87 smooth bore!! Haha.

We have 11 family coming here tomorrow. We stuck in some horseshoe pits and I got the wooden frame HUMMER go kart running. The young teens (and old coots) should have fun with that.

Cleaning up a bit. Had an unexpected thindercstorm this afternoon. Cooled it off s bunch. Nice. Allowed me to work more and i got my family day clean up list done! yay!!!

We hope you have a great weekend. A special blessing to our wounded warriors. God Bless.

Gary and Kelly.

Gary,

Have a nice long weekend with your family. I'm working today but I usually get this holiday off.

As I get older, I reflect more and more on the meaning of this holiday.

Go easy on the neighbors, that loud engraving can really get on a guy's last nerve.

Lon

Hi Lon,

I might even whistle while I engrave! HAH!!! That'll get 'em!!! Not to triffle with an old coot!!

We had a great day. Couldn't have been better. Go Kart was busy all day. I managed to be under there to put the chain on and readjust the tightener - put down a slab of plywood then ended up with my head in the dirt anyway. Great - the kid's smiles were ear to ear.

Horse shoe Pits got a good break in. Dozens and Dozens of pictures taken. Food was great. Good conversation all day.



Gary

Best of luck with the big family party, hope everyone has a great time.

And thanks to all the others who serve in the military, especially those overseas and away from family and friends.May you all return home safely to help celebrate coming memorial days of your own.

Hi Sean,

Thanks. Party was great! Wonderful family day. And, was probably the first and best time more of the property was in use and looking decent. Most all of the storm damage was last repaired in prep for the party.

Was just a great day. I'll find a pic or two.

Hope yours was great too!

Thanks much.

Gary

Wouldn't the 87 be just a bit of overkill on a crow? Happy Memorial Day Gary.

Thanks Doug,

Nah - I'd like to watch a Black Feathery "Puff!!!" thru the scope. In mid Squawk!!!

Thanks - we had a great day. Each one of these will heal a few of the other memories.

Hope you had a fine day too!

Gary

This go-kart was built by the father and sons - previous owners. We found it under a tarp up by the garden. Started on the second pull of the rope. Great fun kart. I've just made a few quick adjustments to it and it's pretty reliable. 5.5 HP with an expanding pulley transmission and centrifugal clutch system like a snowmobile. It will pull Kelly and I without any bog down. I locked the wheels for positive traction - better on gravel. Changed the foot brake to a hand brake. Set up a wooden (oak) chain tightener. Haha. The whole frame and body are a unit of wood/plywood. The kids can handle it with no issues.



My son had a "good shoe" day. Broke in the pits well!

Couldn't have been a better day!

Really fine.

Gary

Gary,

Glad you had a great time. Looks like fun. But we need to talk about aerodynamics on the car.

Larry

Looks like you had a fun family day Gary
Hope those " thindercstorm's" stay away though, they sound deadly!!
Cheers
