WOW, I know the Z4s are fast but a morning run from Tug Hill to Bangor? Now that is impressive.

Morning all,

I can't seem to get into Freddy's so I am using the grill I found out back. I have eggs, toast, sausage and grits. Come on over and just use your hands. I found an old salt block so we have salt for everything. Just wipe off the dirt and its all good.

The 507's are still pulling duty and seem happy. We have trees already starting to turn color. What the heck.

The new to us car seems to be doing well. In the three days we have owned it we have put on one thousand miles. Yup, we are looking to wear it out fast. So, I am off as I am visiting family today. No riding or running today.

Anyway, I hope everyone has a safe and productive weekend.

Freddy I hope you don't mind I moved the grill. CN, I drove all night to get to Freddy's. I wanted to surprise him.

The snowman.

He must be up at his camp without internet. I have time for a quick cup to go because I am off to work. Someone has to keep the world turning while you all enjoy the weekend. :cry:

Good morning. Call back the search party - last week Freddy said he was going off the grid at camp for a while.

My week went well, but it ended on a sour note for a young couple that lives nearby. The parents and 18 month old son were not home at the time, but they lost everything in a house fire, including their pets. We still have most of the stuff from when our boys were that age, so I am packing up anything that I think would be helpful to someone starting over.

The only other news I have is that I ordered a load of coal, and I also purchased a used Ford Expedition in Texas. Hopefully they don't get delivered on the same truck. :lol:

Good afternoon all ( Hey Snowman there's a key under the middle rock to the right of the door :) ) Thanks for the coffee and It taste fine to me!! We are at a very Yuppie campground this weekend ( it was a nice one at one time but corporate greed took care of that :x ) oh well probably the last time we go there, I don't like the though of not having the coal bin stuffed but it needs to be cleaned out to get rid of all the fines so I'm going to run it out, I was thinking of getting 2 pallets plus what I have left in the bin should be enough for this season.
Take care people and enjoy the day :)

Tell them they still have what's important, each other. My son was killed in a house fire on Christmas Day four years ago.

I don't think we have any baby stuff left, the youngest grandkid is 6 years old. if we do they are welcome to it, but would need an address. Did they own the home? Or at least have renters insurance? That will go a long way towards helping them get set up again.

BTW, I encourage everyone to check their policies. Besides verifying your basic dwelling and liability coverage is sufficient, ask for Replacement Cost for coverage C. It makes a huge difference in the size of the check after a loss due to a covered peril. Have your agent explain the details.
