Oh Boy!!

Shop Update. We have been dealing with some horrendous weather . We set the trusses a week ago Monday and had snow,sleet and rain. In spite of that, all went well. We had to shut down during plywood roof sheeting due to frozen fog building up on the roof, turning it into a skating rink. After...

Pretty sweet view you've got there ! I love the Olympics. I spent some time up in Joyce and Port Angeles. I tried to get the wife to move up there about ten years ago. She said that I would be moving alone :) It was a beautiful blue bird day today in Central Oregon. We are almost to the point...

I had been in the real estate business for 13 years in Bend when I found it. I looked at thousands of acreages and owned one set up before finding "The One"

It's hard to tell but we actually have neighbors. We are in a neighborhood believe it or not. The lots in this area are typically 1 acre in size. When the original developer split up the land in the 60's he must have passed this piece over for the easier to develop flat land and left it a 22.5...

I climbed up on the roof of the shop today for the first time and realized there is a pretty good view of part of the track. A little plug for the boys helping me out :)

We've been getting some hogs coming through the property lately. I guess the rut is making these usually elusive Mule deer bucks pretty carefree. They've even been sniffing around the shop build while the generator,saws, and hammers are banging. They know archery season is over :)

There's a saying "With age comes a cage" those new Razor side by sides are looking more and more appealing. The only problem is that they cost soo much new.

I love when the mountains pop out for the first time after a storm or an inversion. This is a couple of days ago. The mountain in this photo is called Broken Top(el 9,177ft) and just behind it to the right is South Sister(el 10,358ft).

Here are a few pics from the last couple frosty days here in Bend. The shop project came to a halt until this morning. This guy ran through the yard while I was taking pics. I wish he would've stopped for a moment so that I could get a better shot of him.

Thanks for the info on the inversion table. I am going to ask Mrs Clause for one for Christmas. It looks like they are on sale for $299 right now. As soon as the shop is finished I am going under the knife to have the femural rod pulled. It's been giving me a lot of trouble the last couple of years.

16' -The reason I went so high is to put a 14' door. This allows a tall motorhome with air conditioning units or big trucks to fit in the shop. Also in areas in the shop where you don't need it so tall it allows you to build a mezzanine for storage or an office etc...

We are just weekend warriors with the MX stuff. I unfortunately have already beat myself up pretty bad. I have lots of titanium in my left femur/hip. I would like to know more about your tilt up device. I am starting to get back pain and I've never injured my back. I have a feeling it's age. I...

I love the RC track! That is hours of racing fun right there.

Dude! I grew up in King of Prussia then Trooper area until I moved away. Do you race the district 6 tracks?
