Time to catch up.






Wow, can't believe it's been sense December 7 that I've been able to post. We have been up north every weekend enjoying the camper and riding in the beauty of the great north woods. When we moved to the new spot at the campground we ended up being out of range of the wifi connection I had last year so my hanging around posting time was interrupted. We have had the most unbelievable year of riding. After the ice adventure of last March we spent more time riding as a family and that alone has been one of the best parts of the winter for me. I did get to have my birthday party at the Moose this year and we showed up for it. Linda went above and beyond to surprise me and that is what happened when our friends Johnny and Holly showed up. We also celebrated Linda's birthday up north and we made a long weekend out of it with alot of relaxing. That is what she wanted to do and it was great. We made many trips up to the Sugar Shack to see Ray and Marie and feed the deer. It's been one of those years when the conditions were up and down, we'd have the best snow ever and then a warm spell would come in and tear things up only to be followed by extreme cold and then we would be riding on ice. So as the season come to a close we'll try to squeeze a couple more weekend out of it. This weekend we will go up and visit Ray and his gang over at Steve Swazies place for the chowder weekend. Then on the weekend of the 21th it's the ride in at Perry Virgin's place and Haley's Birthday. We have so much to be grateful for in these tough times, we have made so many new friends as a result of going through the ice. There have been many tough lessons learned but they have all been positive. I'll put up a few pictures and catch up more later, work is calling.
