I miss hunting, was in the same place in Central ID for 20+ years, very successful. Last two years we hunted there, the wolves had pushed the elk out. The last year we saw the wolves way up above us moving down to flank us and we moved out. 4 years ago I blew out my knee and can't do the hills anymore and my buddies have all moved on to other things too. Still have the memories of many good hunts. Elk are incredible when you get to see and hear them in their habitat.

Ya know Dave, if you could concentrate on one project you might get one kinda finished...
I had to check in just to see how you are coming along.
is it snowmobile season yet???
I do like the Christmas lights hanging in the garage, I may have to borrow that idea

Dig the Lokar door logo!!! Cool thing is Lokar is just down the road a bit:metal:

daverod 12-17-2012 09:34 AM

Re: Daverods 52
 
Well I was going to use the same type of lettering and shape of the logo just different words. But I wonder if Lokar would fund part of my build if I did?:smoke::mm::lol:

The lights work great. I blew my rmk 800 pos up last year so...I'm back to snowboarding for a few. It's gettin hard to concentrate any more.:lol: I am trying to drop a few things so I can work on my trucks more.:mm::lol:Work.

Orrie. Now adays I've learned to use very little energy when huntings....Treestands and cameras. I'll be hunting when I'm 80.Which seems like it will be next year the way it's rollin.

Re: Daverods 52
 
Im with you on needing to drop a few things... "Jack of all trades master of none" is probably why i havent finished my truck yet.:lol: Between Harleys and Hunting it seems i'm always broke and dont seem to have much time to work on my trucks!!

Re: Daverods 52
 
Ya I just crossed off snowmaching. I use to think sking was $$$. Plus most those machinines dont last 2000 miles. Horses and gun hunting are next on the x list.

The drive went great. Now I really want to drive it. Steering pump and some brake juice and I should be ready about spring.haha Took the wife and dog for a fake ride. 2700 rpm must have been going 65. Nice and smooth.haha The thought of it falling off the stands and flying though the garage door went thought my mind a couple times.:smoke:

Re: Daverods 52
 
yeah been there done that, but couldn't imagine what would happen hitting the ground going 65, yikes. Can't wait to see her on the road.
