Red Eye Nov 2005

After that temp repair was done, I went back into my rig and started driving along. I hit a patch of ice, and slid sideways off the trail. I had two down trees behind my rear tailgate, and one stump in front of my front diff. I stepped out and took a look at my situation, and put a plan together. I then CB’d ahead, to let others know that I was going to be delayed. I felt really bad about this, as I didn’t want to hold people up like I did last year.

Operation Shore Patrol Sep 2005

On Vacation this year, there was one thing I DID feel compelled to do – and that was to cruise up and down the beach in Moosenstein – getting a little quality time in with my Jeep , while letting what was left of my brain otherwise flow out of my ears. I thought it would be very nice.

Fathers Day Jun 2005

Going to Elbe for the Father’s Day weekend (as we have for about 8 years now) is like visiting an old friend you haven’t seen in a while. Of course – this would be a friend who delights in giving you a noogie! Because while this is just about as fun as wheeling can get, it is rare a visit to Elbe doesn’t leave you a few reminders of your trip to bring home with you. Continue reading “Fathers Day Jun 2005”

Hello, The run was great and my father in law thoroughly enjoyed himself. Five rigs started the trip, John and Gina, Mike G, Mary, John’s friends in the white Toyota and us.

Evans Creek Night Run Mar 2005

After setting up for the swap meet in Puyallup, we headed back to Mark’s place to get ready for our annual run up the mountain. As it turned out there were not as many as normal going because a few of the club members were up at Mike R’s home playing on the quads and got a bit carried away. Well at least they had some fun… 🙂 Continue reading “Evans Creek Night Run Mar 2005”
