Someone suggested on another thread that I stop in a say hello once in awhile.
Hello.
I haven't been on the site in several months, and haven't been a daily visitor in probably a year. It's been a very busy year around here. Last spring I sold the property where we held the group rides, the wife and I decided we didn't want to build there and started looking for something different. About May we found a 37 acre parcel in the same county we lived in, and the same school district. We purchased that and built a house. Moved in at the end of Oct, and have been steadily making progress at the new place, while getting the old house ready to sell (taking deer season off from house work of course). Finally put the old house on the market around the first of March, with new paint inside and out, and new flooring throughout, house sold quick and I'm scheduled to close next week.
The new house has a huge basement, so once I get closed on the old one the work starts to finish that off. Also have a ton of landscaping work to do, did I mention that I sold my tractor when I sold the land?
I have not been riding in probably 18 months, the dale had not been started in well over a year until this week. I put a new battery and some fresh fuel in it Sunday and it fired right up. LilJbr (whose not so lil anymore) has been riding it the past few days on trails around the new place. He's considering doing some XC racing with Nrath this season and may be riding my dale.
Also changed jobs in Sept, same company just different role. That's kept me really busy as well, but fortunately I don't have to travel too much anymore.
