Almost time!

It is almost time to get the trailer opened up and everything ready to go! I can't WAIT! I want to play! I want to play!
20 day's now till it happens! I will be there before for certain, I'll have to hold back in a big way to keep from sneaking up there and spending the night with no one knowing! LOL! I'm not kidding!
One of my classes for the semester is ending this week, it will be nice to drop off a few credit hours, I can get more done then! and there is PLENTY to do!
Later all!

Fun at the Lake!

I went up to the campgrounds today to meet with all of the other campers there, it was so nice to see everyone again, the only problem is that I want to camp NOW!
My trailer looked so lonely frozen in a snow drift, I wanted to fire up the heater and enjoy myself for a while, even though I knew that it was impossible. The trailer almost looks as though it is adrift in a sea of snow, there is even a wave of snow near the back of the trailer! Even the canoe seems to be calling me at the moment, COME PLAY! COME PLAY!
I did manage to have some fun other than meeting with friends, I drove the Bravada back to the trailer, the snow was 9 or 10 inches deep, the Bravada and I both enjoyed driving through the untouched snow around the campgrounds, there were spots that is was 14 inches deep, even then the trusty old Bravada endured!
I am looking forward to camping once again, I seem to sleep like a baby at the lake, I don't wake up even once during the night, at the house I wake up as many as 7 times in 8 hours...quite frustrating....
Then there is the required campfires, I'll post a short video of the last campfire of the season, so relaxing!
I can't wait! 76 days to go!!!

I should head off for now, it s near time to get ready for Church, which by the way I enjoy as much as camping!
Later all!!!

Critters in the yard

I wish there were a way for me to get some good pictures of the snow in my back yard, I don't think there is a single inch that doesn't have some type f animal paw/hoof print on it. I put out about 10 pounds of cracked corn for the squirrels two days ago, when I arrived home at 4:00pm it was all gone, there are some very hungry creatures out there right now.
I'm "hoping" that moving my bird feeder will help to keep the squirrels out of it, those little monsters are messy! I don't mind them eating out of the feeder, it's the mess that I mind! There has been as much as a pound of bird food on the ground from the squirrels throwing it down, little piggy's anyhow LOL!
I guess it is time to head off, class starts in half an hour and I want to get there early, stuff to do!!!
Later all!

Bacon and fried grits!

What a nice way to start the day! Good bacon and fried grit's! This was the first time I had tried fried grit's, I will be having them again! they were great! Even better fried in bacon grease!

One more day till classes once again begin, I'm looking forward to it! my brain is hungry!

Later all!

Stuck inside!

It has been a "bit" cold here as of late, too cold to play outside at all! So what to do? Hack some blogs so they look better!
I finished this blogs hack just a little while ago, I widened the post area so it looked better! MUCH better than the narrow strip that it had! Nothing say's geek like.......yeah, yeah!
I am half way through the winter break at GRCC, I'm looking forward to getting back to learning! A part of my personality that I had forgotten about has made its way back, I need to stay busy! Always doing something! LOL! GRCC is a good way to do that!
On another note, I woke up at 3:30am and needed to get something to drink, when I looked out the kitchen window there was a small doe munching away at the bird seed that the squirrels has thrown on the ground. I am hoping that she will come back and start to bring friends, last winter I had as many as 7 deer in my yard during the night, I'd like to see that again!
One of these days I need to take a photography class, I would love to be able to get the
"perfect" picture each time! The picture below just does not do what I see with my eye's any justice, too bad! It was AWESOME!
Time to head off for now, I need to find something to do! LOL! Coffee is a good start!
Later all!!

one of the last pleasant rides

When class ended and I went outside I was pleasantly surprised at how warm it was, I made up my mind that I was going to go for a ride even if it was a short one. I ended up only going 18 miles, but it was NICE! I'd like to ride some more today, but I have a project that needs to be done. I guess I'll see if I get that ride or not?
The bike looks nice with the leaves in the background, it was more fun to have it on the road!
Time to head off to class,
Later all!

Starter troubles

My brother and I put a starter in his '96 Chevy S-10 today, it was the hardest I'd done to date.
1. Disconnect the battery
2. Disconnect the starter
3. Disconnect the hidden starter mount
4. Remove the inspection panel between the engine and transmission
5. Remove the two brackets mounted to the inspection panel
6. Disconnect the starter wires
7. Remove (FINALLY!) the starter
8. Do it all backwards!

In and out took nearly three hours, and I had the proper tools to do the job! GAK! what a TOTAL royal pain! LOL!
I'm NOT complaining mind you! at least it is not January and -10 degrees! WHOO! COLD!!
Project number 1005 done, project 1006 is in my driveway, my own car this time, it's slated for new brake pads and rotors.
Later all!

Tired Me!
