Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Thats about a mile and a half from my house, I salvaged that sign between the doors. Joe is a great cat.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

you too? Joe and I same age I think and I believe he went to Truman or Chrisman? I went to blue mills elementary and would have went to fort osage but we had to move to the farm when grandpa passed..

in high school my uncle was the manager of hillside apts on Truman around the corner from Joe.. he got my mom the mowing contract for several apt. complexes by same owner.. made a lot of $$$ as a teenager :D

just met someone here on the forum recently from Holden where I went to high school.. wanted to meet with him and Joe in July but I got overloaded with chores.. maybe next summer meet up? y'all welcome on the farm, it's out in the boonies but no complaints :lol:

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

I’ve been there too.. when I was there years ago he had a nice collection of tailgates.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Hard to believe it's been a year! Gerhard is such a great guy, the whole family took to him and loved hearing all his stories. I hope to take a cruise with him when he is working as the ships engineer someday. Thanks again for the cammo Chevyland hat! It's the only ball cap I'll wear.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Yup, I live out just south of Blue Mills, both of my kids graduated from Fort O. Let me know, there's a whole crew of us here in KC.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Details please....

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

1958-59 I was a little kid.
My dad and uncle were in the remodeling business.
My uncle had been there a while.
They both still had farms here.
They moved back here and started building custom houses.
They split about the time I got out of high school and I joined my dad.

Boy buys hammer and nail belt. Rest is history.

I see pics like "other Larry" posted above (and others), and I guess I ought to just go explore this country before I agree with my wife to going to Europe for a few weeks. Lots to see here in the US, most people speak the language (maybe with atrocious accents) and I wouldn't need a passport, even though I have one. If I can double my truck's mileage, maybe I should put in that LS motor, after all. I'd save a young fortune on fuel. :lol:

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Yep

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

No LS needed

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

we lived in blue mills when it was newly developing, 1617 glenview ct right after it was built.. still remember our phone number 796-8069.. late 70s there was no south of blue mills or paved access anyways.. the east end of blue mills rd was the 'new edition' where our 'dirt trails' were.. another trail led west from our tract to qt on 24.. my best friend lived in glen ellen ct and he graduated from the fort, his folks live in salem east now :) we rode our bikes to little blue where there's a park now and paved trail.. all the way to billy's house in atherton.. fell out of a tree showing off for his cute sister :lol:

definitely need to all get together sometime!

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

It is right about the middle of this country.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

My wife's parent's house was the 3rd one built in all of Salem East in '69. Carol finally moved out last year. If you remember that well, we live at Jackson Drive/Jones Road and Bundschu. I've heard many a good story about the trails back behind there. I grew up north of Wichita, moved to KC North in '85 and went to Oak Park. ALL of my great teenage fun spots have been bulldozed. Back to Regular programming...

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

The accents are the fun part! The Power that started in Louisiana was awesome with all the Cajuns talkin' in KS/MO!

Lake Erie today. Looks like the Atlantic in winter. Heavy winds was a little rough riding the bike here

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

That's high pressure? I thought this high pressure system was huge. I guess that's behind it

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

I really do need to start traveling more before I can't anymore....

My uncle used to teach in Michigan. Wolverines? Our family has always been fishermen and have been through the notorious "Potato Patch" where the SF Bay meets the Pacific, well acquainted with the "El Nino and La Nina" swells and weather that they bring out at the Farallones but when my Uncle moved to Michigan and told us that those big lakes could get nastier than anything that we'd ever seen out here, I almost couldn't believe it. He had fished them all in his time out there. Michigan, Erie and Huron. In a little 18' Whaler.

Those lakes are freshwater oceans in their own rights.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

:smoke:Have no idea but it was hard staying on the shore. The real erie thing (see what I did there) was with the surf there was no salt spray which I'm used to.

Yes they are huge I believe that it's been said they contain 1/3 of the world's fresh water. First picture in the far background is bBuffalo and Canada .
