S.A.D.D. "Scott & Alan's Daily Drivel"

Really had a quiet relaxing holiday

Except for dealing with my dad

Don't expect him to last much longer

Anyway...

Sure was hoping for some nice weather

I'm ready to start working on my pole barn again

Was just looking at gas stoves on craigslist

Never too soon for that one great deal

Camp Kitchen pics:



Covered deck will come out another ten feet



Bit more room than we had at The Scrub

Lowest ceiling height is nine foot

The block and exposed posts will be stucco

Floor will be acid stained brown

Very nice!

There where the metal stoop is will be forest green french doors

To their right will be solid wall for electric panel

This end left will be nine foot forest green sliding door

Back and nearest right side to be burgundy metal siding with three large double pane windows along back towards the rear

Near right corner to be solid wall for TV and frige

Rear adjacent to deck and left back up to french doors will be both sliding vinyl and sliding screen so we can open-up or close at will

Along with 12 foot porch roof at rear there will be a three foot eve built around the two sides with the doors

and the break in party is when??

Bikeweek

Looks very nice Alan! That took quite a bit of work…:slurp

Looks great! Way different than just the flatbed trailer "stone crab bar" on my first visit to the Swamp.

Just got back from The Scrub

Saw quite a few ADV type bikes

Couldn't get the lugs to break loose on my black trailer

Not so sure they won't just break off in lieu of unscrewing

May need to just buy new drums along with wheels and tires

That always sucks. If you have the time to spend over there, like a couple of days. Or a trusted neighbor there, try PB Blaster every few hours for a day or more if needed. Try them periodically as PB Blaster continues to soak in. I've had as good luck with it as any other penetrant.

Matter of fact, I need to go turn the lugs on both my trailers asap.

Sprayed them down good yesterday Mark

Headed back up tomorrow for another round

What sucks the most is the cost of driving up there these days

At least I'm done with paying taxes on the place

I know what you mean about $$ of driving anywhere. Recently out of lack of motivation to do anything productive/necessary around here, I calculated the gas cost per mile to see how much cheaper it is to drive the Lincoln around town compared to the Jeep. (18mpg of high test vs 14mpg of regular). It was less than .03 per mile in favor of the Lincoln.

However, the Lincoln does get 27mpg actual on highway trips while the Jeep just gets the same old 14mpg. Period.

Both are a blast to drive - for totally different reasons, so its a wash for local trips.

Hope you get them lugs off.

Have tires and wheels here at the house with me today

Couple of days of sitting after being sprayed down good did the trick

Want to go back up tomorrow to start loading all my crap into the trailer

I went by the scrub a few days ago too...had lunch at Square Diner..The Polar rally was at Keystone Heights. Good times!

I saw quite a few riders when I was there this past Saturday

Never have actually sailed before

Not counting Hobie anyway

Booked six hour voyage between Tampa and St. Pete this next Thursday on

The Lynx

Watching the video, that is indeed a very fast ship of her type. Pretty cool watching the folks going out on the footropes up at the (top gallant?) sail. Just imagine the arc of movement they experience with every roll and pitch of the ship.

You will have a BLAST!

Hope it blows like a beyotch that day

Thanks Jaydee for

Meeting me at The Scrub yesterday

My car hauler

Filled with all my crap

Is now under the pole barn at The Farm

Dick was already working to restore the kitchen at The Scrub

Told his helper Al yesterday...

"Don't know who's happier, me selling the place or Dick finally having it all to himself"
