Now that's a helluva ride. It's refreshing to see some buddies stick together like that. If you do get a bike shop going I wish ya'll the best.

Be careful on Route 666.. I heard that road never ends... in fact, I had to pull off to the side to post this from my mobile... yeah I'm still getting service somehow..

Glad to see your buddy going at full steam there, that's a long ride... and that you can help take care of him...

Good luck with the shop, what are you gonna call it?

I'm pinching my tent too.. thinking of mysterious john... woot

Beer... makes me silly..

Sites to locate yurts and cabin tent pads are being chosen. Goal is to set up some bike friendly camping facilities, some near the water, some in the groves near the blacksmith shop. Fire rings and state park style elevated heavy iron cooking grilles will be at the camping sites and at the micro beaches being cleared/sanded around the pond.

Orchards are in the process of being mowed. To German/Scandanavian park grounds standards. Within a couple years there will be no more weeds, just lush Bermuda grass lawns with the old pecan trees standing watch in them.

Skat, the old tenant house site (with hand pump well) is perfect to add another guest trailer. Or I can move the motorhome back there for you, just need to clear a few trees. City water has already been run back to there as well.

There will be plenty of era correct heritage breed animals for people to enjoy here. They help keep the insects and weeds under control. Rental/leased garden plots. Repaired and new docks and swim floats. Pool restoration will start this winter, hot tub should be here next week.

Jack, my soon to be 86 years old father in law, has been out riding pillion on the Drifter. He's getting "his" (Lisa's) CL100 back from the mechanic at the farm co-op, Doug and I will replace the damaged carb, and he is going to start riding again. Quit riding when he was 78 or so and couldn't find parts for the 100. Going to get the 250 running for him if he wants to ride some of the roads around here.

You guys are always welcome to come by the farm. It's still a mess, but...

DIBS on that tenant house! I can do historic restoration, know full well how to use a ahnd pump and I have experience with caring for heritage chickens, sheep, cattle and horses.
And I am dang good with hand crafts like spinning, open hearth cooking, weaving baskets, dying wool, drying herbs, that sort of thing. I think we have talked about it awhile ago, but I have not forgotten!  

Oh yeah Justin - that's the beauty of it; you are never really done and there's always another project to keep you occupied!
